Since I've changed my infusion set to my legs the hypos are back. I class one as below 3.6 I think. Since a week ago I have had 4/5 . Luckily not to bad but the lowest has been 2.7 yesterday . I felt ok but I suppose it could be worse. At the moment I am nearly getting one a day but only between 3.2- 3.6 so not to bad. I'm hoping in the two weeks I am away from the clinic this number isn't too silly.im guessing one a day for now but nothing major as its part of my day now and unless its under 3 I normally don't feel to bad but obviously its not doing good to my body .
The things that need to be done at next clinic appointment are,
Change carb ratio.
Put in more basal rates .
What I want to achieve before clinic,
Not have too many hypos.
Stay away from highs.
Check blood at 3am every other day to see if I'm dropping in the night.
I'm hoping by next appointment things will have settled down. I would like to try the sensor again and see if it picks up anything.
So count so far in one week is 5 x

just a moan
Today was d-day for my monitor to come off and I was looking forward to the results. But guess what it didn't work. I am so determined to get my diabetes right but I just don't know what to do for the best. My sugars are so up and down I just wish it would stay stable.
Since sunday I changed my infusion set to my legs as advice off my diabetic nurse. Things seem better but the odd hypo is creeping in and I'm forever correcting the highs. I wish it was easier i really do.
So in two weeks i want minimal hypos and not so much insulin. I don't want to give up but If there was a simple diet to follow I would. Some days I wish i could just skip the food just to find the right balance.
I really wish other people would know what its like. I feel im forever going on about it to my friends but I know they would see and hear that im well rather than me hide it away and get ill when I hypo.
I could do with a good cry but It wont achieve anything.

Cgm day 4
Since changing my infusion site to my legs my sugars have been a lot better. I wonder if this was causing my highs . Hopefully the cgm has been working and i can see some patterns when I go back Thursday. I hope it will help.
I'm not expecting a good hba1c as these last 4 weeks have been horrible , . I'm just glad I've had no ketones x

Day 2 of cgm
I was starting to panic this morning that my bloods were going to be perfect. A perfect 5 but as soon I are and had insulin my sugars spiked and there was no real reason for it to go so high . Finally lunch time perfect 8 again but 2hrs later and back up to 31. I'm taking the right amount if insulin so how knows what is happening ??
The sensor is starting to itch , I really hope it's working as i haven't a clue what's next , just don't want to the stupid hypos anymore . Everything I have eaten or done is written down so role on next Thursday.
Oh and I'm getting a tattoo of the old diabetes sign on my wrist . I carry a medical card around but i want something that can be seen xx

24/7 glucose testing
I have been having quite a few problems with my diabetes at the moment and have now had to have a blind sensor fitted. The sensor automatically takes glucose readings to try and find out where I am going wrong with my insulin. I will have this on for a week and hoping to get some answers.
My diabetic nurse was surprised i hadn't suffered any keytonnes as my sugars are all over the place mainly high but I'm glad I haven't had them as being admitted to hospital wouldn't be very good.
Im hoping this provides answers as I'm now feeling I would prefer the lows but just want to get it right. I wish there was someone to ask about this and if its still working just got to carry on as normal and hope for the best. Im writting everything down so I dont forget anything as my memory is rubbish at the moment. Wish me luck xx
Faye.
