Diabetes.
Started the new insulin pump today. You know, I don’t really use a lot of insulin. I’ve been reading these forums where there are people using something like 80 units of insulin a day. 80 units? Srsly?
I’ve been adjusting my basal rate all day for lows. I’m going to suspend it altogether for my workout at 10:30. And I already had a pretty low set point (.65 units an hour to start. Have changed to .45 already based on the morning’s trending. I’m reading that there are people set at 2 and 3 units an hour who are in the 200s). Of course, this could be because I spent 3 hours moving furniture yesterday, so I’m trending lower than I should.
Watching my numbers this morning was fascinating:
Target is 80
5:30 am: 180 +5 .65 basal
7:08 am: 110
7:33 am: 91
7:56 am: 79
8:13 am: 65
(took 2 lifesavers, adjusted basal to .45)
8:40 am: 92
9:09 am: 70
9:20 am: 61
(OK, srsly, I’m having a fucking bagel)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
