HYPO! NO INSULIN! WTF??!?!?

Posted on January 20, 2009 at 1:00am 5 Comments 0 Likes

I don't know what is going on. I was feeling shaky and hypo. Luckily I had brought my meter to work with me, having had a similar previous experience but without the meter. I tested, and was sitting at 3.0 mmol (54) . I told myself not to panic, and tested another finger - 2.9 mmol (52.2).

Okay, now I am panicking. Why is my sugar so low? I haven't been this low for a long time - even when I was on insulin. I'm not diabetic, according to the very good endo. I haven't taken any… Continue

Another Relative Crawls out of the D Closet

Posted on January 5, 2009 at 7:25am 2 Comments 0 Likes

My mom phoned my grandmother to wish her merry Christmas. We don't have much to do with that side of the family, since the divorce. But, that is where the D-genes come from. My mom was telling her about how I'm not diabetic any more, and my gran mentioned that I have an aunt with D too.

So that would make it:

Grandfather

Aunt

Cousin

Me

In Ireland, my grandfather's brothers. In Canada, two aunts and a cousin (I think, I get… Continue

Shock!

I'm in shock. I don't think I'm ready to believe it. I'm not diabetic any more. The test results came back normal. The doc thinks it was secondary diabetes, due to the cortisone and infections I had when diagnosed.

My First Flu

Posted on December 12, 2008 at 5:43am 4 Comments 0 Likes

I feel like diabetes has turned me into a child. I need to learn how to do basic things again. Today, I'm learning how to have the flu!

Yesterday I started feeling groggy. I nearly fell asleep in the car, because I was too tired to get out of it and walk into my house! I had a sore throat. My sugar levels are higher. This morning I woke up with dripping nose and yellow mucous (always delightful). My body has been aching. I'm the only secretary at work at the moment, so I can't take… Continue

Test Result Nerves

Posted on December 10, 2008 at 6:08am 8 Comments 0 Likes

On Monday I had a bunch of tests done at the lab. They were to check my thyroid, kidneys and liver functioning. They're also doing the HbA1C - my first ever! - and checking my calcium levels and cholesterol. In addition to these, they're testing for GAD and IA2 antibodies and c-peptide production.

It's only Wednesday, and I'm already nervous about the results. I have an appointment with the endo to discuss them on the 18th - 8 days time. The endo said though that if the GAD and IA2… Continue

pretty good considering how cold it is. it's -6 with a wind chill of -26. plus we got another 8 inches of snow. i'm definitely not going to go out and play in it. i have managed to pull myself back onto my diet, not that i had gone that far off of it, but enough to not lose weight. how about you? how are you doing? what some snow? i'll give you a really good deal? lol !!!

I know what you mean about the diabetes ninja. I'm waiting for the morning I wake up with my sugar at 920, having gone from functionally being non-diabetic to full-blown brittle T1 overnight. I'll probably wake up with about 18 complications that morning as well. Oh well.

Don't be a stranger, you hear?
