Inexplicable ups and downs

Yesterday was a crazy day.

About 11 in the morning, my glucose began to collapse for no apparent reason.As much as I ate, there was no way to trace.To top it off, the glucose sensor decided to join the chaos: he collapsed completely and released a cold message: * "Replace the sensor. His sensor does not work. Ret it and start a new one." * 😡


Between juices, liquid glucose and honey, by 14:00 did not exceed ** 120 mg/dl **.I ate a moderate dish of Paella Valenciana, but the sensor had already said *enough *.I had to resort to capillary measurements, and after two hours of controls, I failed to rise from ** 140 **.

For some, those numbers could be perfect, but for me - without pancreas - they are a sign of days ** complicated **.

Today I woke up in ** 148 **.After breakfast, I have not punctured ... the truth, I am ** crowded **.

And to all this, add the problems of not having pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, that you lack a stomach and another of intestine ... with ** 56 years **, after ** 32 years working and quoting **, they do not retire or grant me the disability.

But thank God, these episodes are not frequent, and life - despite everything - life is still wonderful 😎

With what you ate you went to 120 and then to 140. What do you want to climb more? Be careful not to have a fat downturn but after this, perhaps better decrease the dose of insulin than to eat more hydrates, I think it is more controllable, the hydrates are going up the glycemia hours and you can have the opposite, if you see that your tendency is down, because the dose goes down quickly.And p alleged put another sensor and call Abbot so they send you a new one because it has run out ahead of time.

You are right, @meginer but what I have not commented is that I do not click anything of insulin throughout the day ... and that when I start to eat it is to have a descent of fright ....

And the sensor, I did so ...
