Woke up this morning at 192

Gave myself the usual bolus for my coffee and corrected for the blood sugar

And now I am 60 with 2.6 on board 😭😭😭

Gastroparesis sucks.


If you don’t know what that is, I will illuminate you.

Basically… my stomach doesn’t digest food in the normal amount of time. (Lots of fancy terminology with stomach nerve endings) but basically if I bolus for food early or as I am eating it, sometimes I drop like a cannon ball on the ocean and if I correct for that low, the glucose i originally ate with eventually be absorbed, along with the correction sugar, and I will spike like all of those fireworks last night.

Almost unpredictable but I am coming to terms with it. The more controlled my blood sugars are, the less unpredictable the gastroparesis is. I wish that were always true.. but 80% of the time it is.

Wish me luck this morning as I battle on!
