Anna, if you're using two bottles of Humalog a month, that's about 66 units per day. That sounds way too high for a young girl (sorry but 20's is young to me). I take a lot less insulin than that per day and I'm a 6'5" T1 male. But it also makes me wonder whether you are taking enough basal insulin (Lantus or Levemir) - I certainly hope you're not taking only Humalog? Taking too little basal insulin can lead to bouncing blood sugars like you've reported in some of your earlier posts.

Let me know if you are still getting wildly erratic blood sugars, since I was able to greatly improve my blood sugar stability - and it involved taking more basal insulin, much less bolus insulin, and less insulin overall (I was being over-medicated, which surprisingly gave me both high and low blood sugars). I can explain how I figured out what was going on for me if you're interested.

fewer lows for you now ?? I learned something !! : I did not know Dexcom was a stand alone gadget...I had the notion , that one requires a pump
Yes, some of the TU D members are VERY, VERY knowledgeable ( sp ?) and willing to share !!
I recently received the Veo pump( Revel in the US ) , upgrade from 522 MM and with everything else going on : bottom line : more work ...I will hang in ...just like YOU ...hugs.

Anna, I see you are back and a Dexcom user !! Hang in gal ; pump next !!??
...all the best from BC, Canada

Hi Anna ,

Miss seeing you here at Tu ...what's up with you in beautiful Alaska ??
Hope you are OK ..

Anna, saw your post on JuJu's blog, "Lost".

YMMV with the emphasis on MAY, but I would be highly suspicious of thinking you are "fine" after so many low BG episodes. The losses may be minor, but they do accumulate over time. Be careful out there!

Fair Winds,
Mike

Anna ,

Maybe you and I can play the game , if you feel comfortable enough ? Trying it for about 3 months ? I am not set up with Skype , so possibly here on TU will have to do for now . Would exchanging e-mail addresses work ? You will get a bit of a sense about me ,if you visit my page . I am not a professional person and I will do my utmost to make it work ...I will learn as well !!
I read, that you have done/are doing " Danny" s homework ..well really it is YOURS :-) ...small steps at the time .
Till next time.

Anna , firstly , how have you been ?? secondly I am following up on your last discussion , where you expressed having a mentor may just work for you ...did anything come out of this ??...let us know via here or in your discussion , OK ?

hope Thursday will be better.

Anna hope you are doing well today.
