Things I am not allowed to do

[trystinn]

With the snowdays, we've been sleeping in past our usual 6am weekday and 8am weekend wake up. And knowing this, I've been taking my insulin at midnight instead of at dinner time (as the doctor requested), and I'm still waking up low.

Not quite dangerously low, but on the border of dangerous. To the point where I'm having to drink apple juice to jump start things.

Today I got up around 9am and I was at 60. Not good.

No more oversleeping!

What range is your doctor wanting you to be in?

The new guy hasn't gone over that with me yet. We'll have to add that to the list of things to discuss. Mainly, we've just gone over how much insulin he wanted me to be on.

I'm curious, as if my levels were at 60, my docs would be dancing a jig.

As is, I'm currently running 104 for 7 and 14 day averages and 120-ish for 30; hopefully my next A1c will show more improvement over the last (7.5 and down from 8.1)

The doc will likely feel pleased. At 60, I feel like I'm about to pass out. I may be a bit sensitive this low.
