Had a checkup today with Nancy at the diabetes center and found out I did a bit too well on my control. My A1c came back at 5.9% – which she said was a bit alarming. Once again, I had my insulin dose adjusted.
Basically that means that the bouts of hypoglycemia I’ve been experiencing are edging towards dangerous levels. It gets too low and I may end up in serious trouble. In fact, when I walked into the center today, my blood sugar was down to 43 mg/dL (2.38mmol/l). I really should be 70 – 120, which is a bit too low for my own good.
Anyway, courtesy of my doctors I came home with something new: a free vial of Lantus insulin. I also had the offer to take an introductory pumping class, though I took a raincheck so I can see how I do on Lantus first.
Hopefully they’re right and this will make me feel more normal. I’m not sure what that means, but I do have to admit I have been feeling pretty weird lately. The results from my A1c probably explain it a bit.
Also, thanks to AmyT for her comments and link to her site. ^_^ I’ll comment once I get my homework done.
Bah that’s what I get for taking time to post … was going to do something really silly in reply to your silly post but took too long. Who would have thought you’d post again so soon. Glad to see you in a good mood! Hopefully things stay that way for you guys for a little while … couple years. Love ya!
