Guest guest Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 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.
