Jen's Blog – September 2011 Archive (8)
Back to square one ...
Monday my pump ran out of insulin while I slept. I went from 6.1 (113 mg/dl) at bedtime to 21.3 (383 mg/dl) five hours later when I woke up, by which point my pump had been out of insulin for four hours. Luckily I had a bit of a bolus on board when I went to bed, otherwise I think I would have been higher.
Yesterday I was slightly high after lunch but didn't think much of it. I bolused a correction and about an hour later… Continue

Not a great way to start the week
You know it's never good when you're up at 4:30 AM with high blood sugar and ketones, changing pump cartridges. But this time it's a first (and entirely my fault).
Last time I changed my pump cartridge I decided to only use the bit of insulin that was left in the vial, which only came out to 50-something units. I should have realized that was little more than a day's worth,… Continue

Random day
Today has just been so random with blood sugars ...
Woke up this morning at 4.7 (85 mg/dl) which is perfect! Ate breakfast which was the same breakfast I normally have, which I weigh/measure since I'm at home.
Two hours after breakfast I was 3.3 (59 mg/dl) and was like, what?! Ate some Skittles along with a London Fog which I forgot to order as sugar-free so I just bolused for it.
Two hours… Continue

Aaaaahhhh, I just tested and my blood sugar is 17.3 (311). I don't think I have been that high in a month! I ate dinner out and must have underestimated the carbohydrates. I was planning on exercis…
I ate dinner out and must have underestimated the carbohydrates.
I was planning on exercising but I don't know now. When I am above about 11 (200) I really drag when I try to exercise, so I will probably still do it because I don't want to miss a day, but it's going to be tough!
I have not updated lately but my blood sugars continue in the range they were… Continue

Too high in general, but not a bad day at all in terms of stability! Today was a stressful day at work. I don't work tomorrow so hopefully being able to relax and work on my thesis (if that counts as…

IOB
I just checked out the Animas IOB and I have no idea how it actually works.
If I put in a carb bolus and an obviously high BG, it takes away the IOB properly like the Cozmo used to.
But if I put in a carb bolus and a near-normal BG, then it takes away a small amount… Continue

Well, here are my blood sugars for today. Very random day. I have no idea. I had pretty much the same schedule as yesterday and identical breakfasts, different but similar lunch (today fewer carbs, t…
Days like today I just get so frustrated. I had virtually the same everything and my blood sugars seem completely random… Continue

Exercise, and random ramblings
Usually I try reducing my dinner bolus for exercise I do after dinner, but I never quite get it right, and it usually requires whipping out a calculator. Tonight as I was bolusing I realized that… Continue
