Checked my blood glucose probably 6 times in 3 days(really, really, not like me) ate
whenever/wherever everyone else was, took off my pump last night and woke up with a blood glucose of 501(purple ketones for that one) and I would say, wasn't very responsible. (at all) Many of the blood sugars were ok, but when I'd get high, I'd just bolus rather then take the time to check. Five positive ketostix in 3 days.
I was trying not to inconvenience anyone..(by stopping and fooling with D stuff) but as usual, it would convenience them even more when you get in trouble with highs. I've got to stop worrying about everyone else's feelings + pay enough attention to the D.
Ketones make me want to scream!
(its being high,cranky,and thirsty and those buggers don't clear out very easily either) I hate ketones.
Why did you take your pump off? Did you just forget?
ReplyDeleteI've kind of come to the conclusion that anyone who gets annoyed by the time it takes to do O's diabetes care probably isn't someone I want to spend much time with anyway. It's kind of a good way to weed out the jerks.
Took it off for exercise,forgot to reconnect..
ReplyDeleteYou're right.
I sometimes worry about that too - inconveniencing others. But, like so many have said before, take care of yourself first, or someone else will have to do it for you.
ReplyDeleteYou can cut those ketosticks in half, (the long way, of course,) and get twice as many for your money.
