I did around 100% temp basal all day yesterday but it did get ahead of me in the evening. Did massive corrections. Went to bed with a 50% temp, and woke up in the 250’s. I was comfortable sleeping with more insulin on board that I had.
I’m back up to 100% basal for the day and massive corrections. It is going down, but still in the 200’s.
Knee is twitching at all and we have storms brewing.
The orthopedist I’ve seen that I liked the best retired in December, and I saw his partner today. He says I definitely need a knee replacement.
He didn’t like the knee fluid replacement option and liked the cortisone shot option – told me that I could have 3 a year, and did I want one now. Since my knee was acting up last weekend, I was there, and he gave me the option, I said yes.
Thus I am dealing with elevated blood sugars – I am on 100% basal for the next three hours and checking every two.
Anyone have any good ideas?
A1c was 9.3, now at 8.9
I take my small victories.
I just call them “goals,” and I make a list of all the things I want to accomplish during the year.
Carrie Vaughn is one of my favorite author, writing about a lot of women's issues, especially empowerment.
I love her attitude about resolutions and very similar to mine but more structured. I think I should follow her example.
