PITA
Friday, June 28, 2013 at 8:12AM I hate diabetes.
The past few days have been a PITA. Pain In The A1C.
My Dexcom has read HIGH (over 400) almost the entire time, I have changed infusion sets 4 times, I have changed reservoirs 4 times, and have tried two different bottles of insulin (one of those bottles I picked up from the pharmacy Wednesday!).
Whatever I ate and whatever I did caused my bg to spike. So annoying.
At one point I remember seeing that I have 33 units of insulin on board. That is crazy and dangerous.
Not until the end of the DSMA Live show last night did it finally come down, and rapidly.
There are a million reasons my bg could have been all crazy like. Was it the added stress that I had two major meetings at work this week? Was it that I couldn’t think straight during my meetings because of the high bg’s that caused even more stress? The stress of knowing nothing is working?
See a pattern?
Those diabetic snowballs just grow and grow and the more work it takes the worse it gets. It’s like standing on a couch cushion in the middle of a shag rug sea of lava. Every step equals failure.
Hopefully I will have a break from the bg madness for the next few days. I woke up to a bg of 122 which was very nice.
Now let’s hope for a weekend of stellar bg navigation.
Or at the very least keeping numbers on my Dexcom and not words.

It wasn't your fault. It happens, and sometimes it's just out of our control. I hope you get lots of nice flat lines on your dexcom from here on out and they are between 90-120 :)
What a rough ride, brother!
I agree with Alanna. Sometimes we have to just roll with the punches.
I know this feeling ALL TOO WELL!! I feel your "pain" and feel for you! I've been dealing with this BS for the past 36 years (I was diagnosed when I was 4 yrs old)!! Good luck and take care!!
:( Dislike that diabetes is being such a big meanie to you, my friend.
