Great to see you Fraust and everyone else.
I'm off to sleep soon.
I hate this body. I haven't taken insulin for eight hours and nothing I do will get my blood glucose over fifty.
I'm not hungry yet I just ate a cup of hash browns to try to bring it up.
I am certain I have figured out why old people die--my blood glucose goes off-scale low below forty around 3:00 AM every night.
It seems to be getting to the point I cannot manage my blood glucose level any longer. I can drink a cup of coffee and have it go to 400. I can eat a bowl of pure sugar ice cream and put pure sugar syrup and pure sugar sprinkles on it and my blood glucose will drop so low I pass out.
I think I'm reaching the point where I am beginning to no longer care.
Have a great night. See you all tomorrow.
Or not.
Quoting: Louis in Richmond Did you ever find out more about the sensor that sets off an alarm to wake you if your sugar gets too low?? I think you really need that.
Thank you for asking. I believe I may have a ridiculous amount of self-induced guilt behind having gotten the monitor I have, while others don't have them.
It just feels wrong to ask for a newer one.
But you have a good point, I will call Anthem and ask them, I've even set a 9:30 AM reminder. Screw it, if it takes four hours on the phone with them so be it. It took more time than that and five months to get them to cover the monitor I have now. If my doctor needs to write a justification I'll ask him to. He may agree since I have a real danger of dying at night.
Sometimes it just gets incredibly frustrating and having two incidents in five days where I couldn't see or even think clearly was really getting to me yesterday.
I should never complain and seem to do far to much of it here.
So lets change that: I've my coffee and with this post an heading to the kitchen to nuke a Salisbury steak and macaroni entrée. I guess that's breakfast today, no need for anything fancy!
