| This is kind of me right now. Kind of. |
So this weird thing has been happening with me lately. I check my blood before lunch which has been nice and stable all morning according to my Dexcom, it rings up between 5-7 (my target) and I sit down and eat a nice meal. I bolus as I am eating and then about 10 mins after I eat (so not enough time for my insulin to start) I plummet. I talked about a particularly bad day when this happened last week.
It hasn't been disorientating lately, but It has made me question how to go about making sure I don't crash as I am eating. This is absolutely silly to be honest. I hover 5-7 all morning and then BAM! my body is getting fed carbs so it crashes? It doesn't make medical sense. But really, what does with this disease?
Anyway. I ate. I guess I am not low now, my meter says 4.2, Dex says 78 with a sideways arrow. But yeah I have those 8 frickin units of insulin on board since you know I ATE MY LUNCH.
I need a nap.
What happens if you delay your lunch?
ReplyDeleteSounds like some basal rate testing might be in order. I hate basal rate testing.
Wait... how do you have a Dexcom if you're Canadian?
ReplyDeleteI am a fucking magician.
DeleteAlso: a very wonderful friend sent me her old one. And a few other wonderful people have sold me some sensors.
STILL jealous that you have a fancy CGM.
DeleteHow does Canada not have these, eh?
