Bedtime High Blood Sugars & Finding Comfort & Back Upwards Via The Dr.
I had a belatedly dinner end nighttime -it was a dinner I swallow at to the lowest degree i time a calendar week - as well as unremarkably everything is cool. USUALLY.
######
It started out to hold out a practiced night, it really did. I was feeling all sorts of peppy as well as my blood saccharide was 125 earlier dinner - YAY ME.
Speaking of dinner, it was i of my favorites - a homemade Greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, spicy dip that yours really made from scratch, accompanied fresh famers marketplace position veggies as well as Food Should Taste Good, Multigrain Gluten Free Chips.
I convey this real same repast at to the lowest degree calendar week during the summer, sometimes twice a week - except sometimes the dip is made alongside huge handfuls of fresh basil or dill instead of cilantro as well as Cayenne pepper instead of jalapeño. But..., I digress.
It’s a elementary repast that makes me experience similar I’m indulging because of special the compaction factor, except I’m non indulging.
The FSTG chips are tardily for me to bolus for - eighteen grams of carbs - for 10 chips, times ii = 36 grams of carbs for the chips. The veggies (sweet peppers, celery as well as organic carrots,) added extra compaction as well as yumminess to the mix as well as real trivial carbs - non to refer the whole, “being healthy,” thing.
The Greek yogurt was vii grams of carbs for 5.3 ounces, which inwards this instance was one-half the dip.
Normally I bolus betwixt 45 as well as 50 grams as well as I’m unremarkably right on target for the balance of the night.
Except... end nighttime I wasn’t.
I bolused for/prepped my meal, brought it inwards front end of the TV to swallow as well as yes, I know, I shouldn’t swallow inwards front end of the TV, but I wanted to sentinel episode five of the PBS, Masterpiece Theater’s much acclaimed as well as totally awesome series, Poldark via the on-demand.
Sidebar: Don’t fifty-fifty larn me started on Poldark - I’M OBSESSED.
A yoke hours subsequently I checked my blood saccharide as well as was 220 - non terrible. Not great, but non terrible.
I gave myself a correction bolus as well as went virtually my business.
An threescore minutes subsequently I was create for bed - I could barely proceed my eyes opened upward as well as I was thirsty.
Not a neat sign inwards Kelly’s Big Book of D -and likely non your Big Book of D, either.
So I checked i time to a greater extent than as well as my blood saccharide was 359.
Then I tested i time to a greater extent than as well as it was 361 - And Kelly was non happy.
In fact I uttered a string of 4 missive of the alphabet words that would brand crewman blush as well as gave myself a 5.4 unit of measurement correction bolus - as well as of course, every bit before long every bit the end unit of measurement cleared my insulin pump’s screen, I straightaway idea that I should convey changed my infusion site BEFORE I gave the correction bolus - fifty-fifty idea the site was less thus iii days old.
20 approximately minutes subsequently I tested i time to a greater extent than as well as it was 418 - non what I wanted to see.
I switched out my ii solar daytime former infusion site as well as gave myself approximately other correction bolus of 2.5 units, tested for ketones (I had a “small,” amount,) drank a huge drinking glass of H2O as well as I waited I too peed because high blood sugars as well as H2O non exclusively = ketones, they too = peeing similar a race horse. But you lot already know that.
I was thus flipping tired as well as I only wanted to become to bed. Actually, I was already inwards bed as well as had my meter as well as examine strips side past times side me, the bedroom-lights out, the hallway low-cal on as well as my iPhone inwards hand.
It was almost midnight as well as I was afraid of falling asleep earlier I knew that it was OK to really sleep. So I logged onto Facebook as well as posted the next status:
Talking alongside approximately DOC pals was non exclusively neat medicine, it was incredibly comforting.
Some of the folks inwards the FB thread were dealing alongside the same thing, others were dealing alongside depression blood sugars, as well as approximately were dealing alongside normal blood sugars, but knew what I was feeling as well as offered their comfort because they knew I needed it.
Some were type 3s as well as didn’t convey diabetes at all, but offered their back upward only the same. How beautiful is that!
And I appreciated the comfort as well as the conversation thus much.
Sidebar & FTR: I would convey post service the others Facebook comments, but I haven’t asked them nonetheless - I don't similar to post service other peoples thoughts without asking.
30 minutes subsequently my blood saccharide was 369 as well as things were returning to normal.
I experience asleep every bit before long every bit my caput hitting the pillow as well as I woke upward alongside a blood saccharide of 101 as well as feeling similar I’d been hitting past times a truck.
I too felt damn thankful for the Diabetes Online Community for non exclusively “getting it,” but for beingness at that topographic point for and alongside me when I was feeling lone as well as at my most vulnerable.
THANKS GUYS.
