The only reason I ask is because my doctor will want to know those questions when I show him the scale. 6 months ago I had a 7.1% and my doctor wanted me to do better. 3 months ago it went up to 8.1 then recently it dropped to 8.0. My doc was pulling his hair out trying to figure what we were doing wrong. My last three months of taking my blood averaged out to 105mg/dl. Way below the HA1C 7% level. So the doctor but me on a two week plan of writing down times of bg, bgs, insulin taken and detailed food eaten at each meal---including snaks. He didn't seem to be worried about the 'high' but he expressed his concern for the lows I was having under 50mg/dl (he said lows below 70 but especially those below 50). The first week I did great. No lows and a few highs. This week has been terrible. On Saturday and Sunday I came crashing down to below 30 (and this was with 0 humalog/30NPH at 9:00AM, a breakfast of 2 waffles with a tablespoon of 'light' syrup, a half of class of milk to take my morining pills and about 5 grapes). I crashed at 1:15---about 15-30 minutes before I was scheduled to have lunch. On Sunday it happened twice and my lows cause extreme effects in my muscles and eye sight. Yesterday was OK and so was Monday. To me each day is 'watching' out for the terrible lows. EVEN when I eat what my diatician says and take the insulin my doctor says I should take. It is OK. I see my doc Friday and we will come up with another plan. AND God's Speed. ***Robin*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
