This is a short blog - as I'm pretty well freaking out at what is happening. Again, have a feeling due to stress of work lately that this is one of the causes for what is happening. I am presently disconnected from Salvador Dali (my Animas 2020 pump) - as I've been fighting BG's in 8-10 mmol/l / 144-180 mg/dl range for the past week - can't bring them down. Went to bed last night with 22 mmol/l / 400 mg/dl - haven't had this since I ate 16 slices of chocolate cake (only kidding - only had 1 chocolate chip muffin the other day for a birthday treat). Darn, I never stop making fun of this diabetes we suffer from can I? My way of handling this disease I expect, but probably not alone in how we cope with crazy periods like this. Anyway, I decided to pull the plug (pump) at this point in time. No air bubbles in tubing, did a test to see if insulin coming through tubing, fine. I injected my basal insulin (Lantus) and correction insulin (NovoRapid). Had a glass of water (hello - blood sugars are high).

This morning, 8 hours later, 16 mmol/l / 295 mg/dl. WTF??? BG correction with Novolin R- 4 units!!! Another basal shot (oops - forgot to write that down - used to insulin pump keeping all that information for me - must be more diligent with writing down what I'm doing here).
So I'm abit worried, will be calling up endo tomorrow to ask for help, as I'm not sure what to do. Could be changes in life as well effecting how my insulin is working besides stress? Maybe I have become insulin resistant over my 43 years of having diabetes? Maybe I have ..... ??? Too many questions, and yes I am scared here.
Wish me luck! Any suggestion of what my next step could be - other then ER (hate HATE doctors) - I'm all ears!
