Chat room- , Chrissy &

[Guest guest]

, Chrissy and ,

I enjoyed our chat last night. , I'm sorry I wasn't able to

get back in there after my break for my 9:30 pm insulin injection.

I took my blood glucose reading then and it was 259 and

climbing, so I had to inject some fast acting insulin, as well as

my base insulin. Then I checked it 15 minutes later and it was

378!!! This is so extremely high for me that I was freaking out.

It's usually around 100 or so. I haven't had anything that high

since I first got out of the hospital as a new, out-of-control

diabetic, and it really threw me for a loop. So I was in a bit of a

panic and spending a lot of time trying to figure out what was

wrong.

I believe I solved the problem, apparently when I injected for

dinner earlier I shot a blank with my insulin pen. I've done this

once or twice before, but caught my mistake, and re-injected the

correct amount. This time I must have overlooked it in my haste

to eat dinner quickly so that I could get to the chat room on time.

I was late coming home from the store, and then had a client that

kept me on the phone until 8:15, so I really had to dash through

dinner to get into the chat room by 8:30.

Hopefully we'll have a chance to talk some more soon. I'm so

glad that your new medication and holistic program is working

so well for you, and I hope you'll continue to keep us updated on

your progress. This may be something that others might be

interested in.

With hope and prayers,
