New dosage, and other stuff

I got a call from the endocrinologist and they are increasing my Lantus dosage to 35 units instead of the 30 I have been doing.

The dietician tried to get me to understand counting carbs and gave me a diet plan...and it will probably take me a while to get that...

I did find a way to fax my logs to my doctor using my scanner and this site: www.myfax.com

Doctors at last!

I now have a general practitioner, an endocrinologist, and I am even taking diabetes education classes! Thanks to: Access To Care !!

I have also started taking my insulin regularly, and I am starting to actually feel better!

I will start posting again here, I think!

Starting again...

I have started over again ...as I have a hard time with this diabetes stuff.
I have doubled my dosage for thyroid meds, and my waking bg is: 72

Update

My morning BG is 300, and I have forgotten to test and take my insulin again for a couple days..:-\
But I have been feeling a little better...I need to get this Thyroid problem fixed though!

BG levels

I started doing Simvastatin (generic Zocor) for my high cholesterol today.

I am also supposed to be checking my BG before I eat a meal, then 2 hours after

It is 12:45 pm, my level is 356, I need to re-test at 2:45 level: 546
Level went up 180 points

12/16 @ 1:30 pm I tested and my level is 402. I did 10 units of humalog to try to bring my levels down.
Tested at 10:30pm 463
ate a meal & tested again at about 1:15am 519
Went up 59 points

Health Care?

Getting it together

As you can tell, I have not posted in quite a long time.

I have been through some very difficult times... one of them was being thrown out of my house because my girlfriend wanted to start screwing around...and me living there would cramp her style.

It is amazing how a girl can make up a BS story, and have a man thrown out of his own house....on just her word! They don't even require proof....they just take what the girl says as fact. Then I got to PAY the cops $25.00 and hour for watching me move my stuff out of my home.....so she could be a slut in peace in our once happy home!!!

Anyways, I moved back to Ohio and it took me quite some time to find a decent job, and get my own place again. I am even in a band again!

That which does not kill me can only make me stronger!

Happy 4/20 !

Waking BG ~ 67

I still have not been consistent with the 12-hour injections... I keep forgetting...

Anyways... it's 4/20 .. you know what that means! ;-)

Starting over AGAIN

Monday, April 16
Waking BG ~ 84

As you can tell by the date of my last post, my regimen did not stick, and I went all winter without taking proper care of myself. That needs to change!!!

The doctor has had me change to doing 2 - 40 unit shots of Lantus a day instead of the one shot of 70 units I was taking. Ideally they should be 12 hours apart. I have not been very successful yet because I keep forgetting to take my shot during the day.

I am also seeing a therapist to try and learn some behavior modification techniques.

Oh boy... now I have to hurry up and do my taxes!
