low glr unawareness

[Guest guest]

Recent discovery, I am a type2 insulin dependent diabetic. I told you I would

keep you up to date on how I am being treated by my indocrinologist, Dr. Welch.

Using a CGM, continuous glucose monitor it was discovered. For a period of ten

hours and 13 minutes I ran glr's well under 70, and I was completely unaware of

this event. I was informed that my body has lost the ability to discern when I

am having a low glr. This is the reason Dr. Welch emphasizes keeping me from

having any low glr's at all. I am reluctantly trying to follow her directions,

even though I still wonder about them. I have worked with seveeral MPD's in the

past with some success, and I know about disassociative reactions and black out

spells. Even though the psychiatrist I have worked with in the past are

extremely reluctant to acknowledge a disorder that cannot be resolved with a

drug, I believe MPD's do exist as I now believe that low glr unawareness does

exists. After my first or second black out spell caused by excessive alcohol

consumption many years ago, I set a definite limit to the number of alcoholic

drinks I would consume at a single setting. As time went by the number of drinks

have gradually decreased in number to now I only drink an occasional wine or at

most a couple of beers each day, usually with meals.

My last A1C was 5.8. I predict it will gradually rise as time goes on and as I

follow the indocrinologist's recommendations.

It's funny how life can sneak up on you.
