Night 2

Night 2 was even more eventful than night 1, my first glucose crash was at 3 am, todd got me juice and it went away after a few minutes... I think it was 6am when I crashed again, #s were in the 40s and 50s and I was shaking with heart palpitations that wake me. At 6 I had a piece of bread with a bit of peanut butter and some almond milk and that raised my #to 140 something...much better. Tis is such a scary way to live, we have to find a better way to manage this, soon!

Living with diabetes night 1

Night 1on insulin was scary!! Woke up with my heart racing at 2am...tried everything I could think of to calm down but after 2 hours I was really scared so I woke up todd. He had me check my blood and it had crashed down from 500+all the way to 93 and I was having a hyperglycemia episode right then in the middle of the night . Im very grateful that he had a level head and got me orange juice and stayed up with me until I fell asleep....this is going to be much ore than I am ready for.
