Well I'm Back and I'm Better

Hi Everyone! I haven't been around much the past few days. I've been having some problems controling my blood sugar levels and not feeling well because of it. I'm getting conflicting instructions from my doctors to top it off. My Interist wants me to get my levels down as much as possible and has been increasing my insulin levels which has been causing me to have severly low blood sugar levels in the mornings. Monday morning it was 43 Which is very dangerous. I was shakey and very dizzy and had to chew up a bunch of gloucose tablets that I keep on my vanity table. On the other hand when I told my surgeon what was happening, he said he would rather have my have my level be at 150 or 200 then to have the lows. Normal is 70-115. So now I am confused and don't really know what to do? But last night I lowered my bedtime dose and this morning was much better and I feel better today. So I'm back on the board today. So in case anyone was wondering where I've been forthe past several days, that's what's been going on with me. Regards and hugs, Ronna

Ronna, glad you are feeling better! I have only been lurking for the past month and a half. I had shared OH with my mother for pre-op, to educate her and put her worries to rest. She ended up remaining lurking daily up until recently (she still may be lurking...oh well). I felt like I had no privacy and so I didn't post much. Now I am trying to get back on track with being part of this community that I have missed so much being a part of. Sending you healthy sugar level vibes your way! Christina 280/235/?

Thanks Christina I'll take all the good vibes I can get Regards and hugs, Ronna

Ronna, Glad to see you posting! I'm sorry you've been having blood sugar issues. I hope things can become regulated soon...that has to be scary. Hugs, Chele

Thanks Chele, I think it's one of the scariest things about being on insulin. You feel so out of control. And for me, a complete control freak....it's just not something I want to deal with Regards and hugs, Ronna

Yes Cara I will certainly try! Thanks and hugs, Ronna

Ronna, I'm so glad you're feeling better. It sure sounds scary--glad it's ok now Kathy

Thanks Kathy. I hope the change I made does the trick. I've had enough of the early morning lows

Welcome back Ronna, hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks Carly I am. And hopefully will stay this way. Just have to watch it real close for awhile. Hugs, Ronna
