Dear Diabetes...: July 2011
http://deardiabetes.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 July 2011. Good grief, I can't believe I haven't written to you for seven months! Do you think it is because you have been behaving yourself? Well, hardly. Although the headline figures look good they're hiding all the ups and downs you've been putting me through. It seems every time I decide to get off my behind and start doing regular exercise it really wakes you up and just the mention of insulin sets my levels plummeting! And that's including all my post-meal readings too!

http://deardiabetes.blogspot.com/2011/01/where-did-that-14.html
Tuesday, 4 January 2011. Where did that 14.0 come from? Lull me into a false sense of being right within range all day, then casually toss in one of my highest levels for weeks, with absolutely no explanation? Thought you'd hang back until all the insulin had worked its way out then hit me with it, eh? One of these days I'll be able to monitor you all the time and you won't be able to do things like that to me, so make the most of it whilst you can! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dear Diabetes...
http://deardiabetes.blogspot.com/2010/08/it-seems-that-we-are-reading-from.html
Wednesday, 18 August 2010. It seems that we are reading from different editions of the blood sugar management book, am I right? Or yours is in some kind of language that you;ve not quite got the hang of yet? Look, this is how it's supposed to go: I cut back on the lantus, I eat toast and jam before bed, you behave. Simple, straightforward, where's the difficulty? Why then, did I wake again and test at 2.7 mmol/l? You think I don't know what you're up to , don't you? I got you last night though, didn't I?

Monday, 3 January 2011. Did you think I'd forgotten about you? Unlikely, I'd say, given your constant demands! You really didn't like December did you? All that cold and snow and not being able to go out running or keep warm and all that comfort food and all those horrible dark nights and gloomy, depressing days! I'm guessing that's why you're demanding twice as much insulin these days? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Diabetic's Corner Booth. When the glucose dust settles. The Human Pin Cushion.

Dear Diabetes...: January 2011
http://deardiabetes.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 5 January 2011. Seven hypos in two days! You're having a laugh! You just don't know how to deal with a little increase in physical activity, do you? I've been dropping the insulin like a hot rock over the past three days and you're still complaining that it's too much! I've been guzzling jelly babies and ginger cake all day - what's the point of exercising if you have to eat all that stuff afterwards? Tuesday, 4 January 2011. Where did that 14.0 come from? Monday, 3 January 2011. Your double-f...

Dear Diabetes...: August 2010
http://deardiabetes.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 25 August 2010. You really do put up a fight in the mornings, don't you? Six units for 12g carbs yesterday, and it still wasn't quite enough to get you under control! One unit for two grams carbs! And yet you go all meek and submissive later - one unit for eight grams! And you're practically AWOL in the evenings - one unit for twelve grams! How can this be? Do I have 'morning diabetes' or something? Do you get bored as the day goes on? How would it be if I stayed in bed until the afternoon?

Dear Diabetes...: June 2010
http://deardiabetes.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 June 2010. I'm not speaking to you today! Waking me up at 1:30 am with a 2.7 and then keeping me awake all night! Well, I suppose at least you woke me up. But why? I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary - eaten around 7 pm, tested at 5.8 around 11:40 pm, injected the lantus and that was that - perfectly normal. Shouldn't have been any novorapid left and lantus hasn't spiked for me for months - possibly even over a year! Happy 65th birthday Debbie Harry! Friday, 18 June 2010. Lantus down...
