Shaking Off The Funk Of Increased Insulin Requirements

The other twenty-four hr menstruation I got myself inwards a funk - in addition to non the sort alongside cool beats in addition to a loud base. 
My self-imposed funk was regarding my insulin pump’s basal rates (hourly insulin charge per unit of measurement via my insulin pump,) which are yet elevated since doing ii rounds of antibiotics in addition to a circular of steroids to combat bronchitis in addition to few other itises dorsum inwards May. 
And earlier the steroids,  my insulin requirements had increased slow over the previous year. 
Thanks to Gary Scheiner in addition to the wonderfulness of beingness me, I know that it takes my trunk longer to procedure repast boluses than most in addition to I seek in addition to guide maintain repast boluses fifteen minutes earlier I consume - but that's non ever possible.

 For now, I seek non to allow the amount of my daily insulin requirements upset me - I remind myself to hold upwards grateful that I guide maintain insulin - in addition to that access likewise insulin.
And I function on moving - walks, bicycle rides, swimming in addition to trunk surfing inwards the bounding main until I'm forced to leave the H2O from sheer exhaustion. 
FTR: I LOVE BODY SURFING!

But every instantly in addition to thence I wonder what if I need to a greater extent than insulin instantly in addition to forever ... merely because. 

  • Because I volition guide maintain lived alongside diabetes 38 years equally of Oct 21st, 2015
  • Because I’m a adult woman inwards a for certain historic menstruation bracket
  • Because our bodies alter in addition to shit happens
  • Because diabetes demands it
  • Because alter is a business office of life. 

And I worry because of the cost of my increased insulin requirements - I worry virtually that a lot. 
I’m 1 time once again contemplating a secondary injectable to foreclose the spikes - I’m non for certain which one, but I'm going to hold upwards discussing the possibility with my Endo inwards October. 
FTR: I won't seek going dorsum on Metformin - my numbers were great, I lost 8 pounds, but my pilus savage out inwards clumps. Symlin caused sticker stupor and at that spot was a lot of stops in addition to starts due my move schedule  - thence I stopped taking it. 
I'm also being proactive and scheduling an engagement alongside my CDE earlier I run across alongside my Endo - hopefully vi weeks earlier my engagement inwards Oct in addition to non during the Pope's catch to Philadelphia - that would hold upwards logistically insane!

Lastly, I remind myself that things guide maintain fourth dimension in addition to that my life volition ever hold upwards measured out inwards units of insulin - sometimes I volition need less - in addition to other times (like now,) I volition need more. But I volition ever need insulin inwards lodge to live. 
And that things could hold upwards a lot worse than increased insulin requirements.

 If whatever of you lot out at that spot inwards DblogLand are or guide maintain experienced similar issues - I’d dearest to listen from you lot & whatever advice would hold upwards greatly appreciated.
