Stuck

The past few days have been rather frustrating.   My blood sugars have been stuck.

Usually, when they're stuck, it's on the high end.  But the past few days, I've been stuck on the low end.

And I HATE that.

I absolutely HATE lows.  They scare the crap out of me.  On Sunday, I bolused for breakfast, went low, and didn't bolus for anything else I ate all day until a small one at dinner.  Then there were overnight lows. Thank God for my CGM.  Same thing on Monday.  And yesterday.

So now the basal testing will commence.  Making myself wait a few days was REALLY HARD.  I wanted to make sure it wasn't some kind of fluke thing.  All my info has been uploaded too, and my CDE should call today with her suggestions.

I have no idea why this is happening.  Maybe it's the changing weather?  Maybe it's the fact I'm actively trying to exercise multiple times a week?  Maybe there's not a reason.  Who knows?  I'm trying to just go with it and not drive myself crazy trying to figure out why.

We all go through periods where are bgs are stuck at number that scare the living daylight out of us.  For me, that's low.  I read an amazing post from my Twitter friend Dustin's blog about the numbers that scare him.

Reading Dustin's story helped me feel better about the whole situation.  Life with D can be terrifying, plain and simple.

But it could always be worse.  Basal rates and insulin to carb ratios will be played with.  I will get this figured out.  Thanks for all the support!
