CGM Day Two...

Well, last time I had this contraption on me I could barely sleep and was obliged to lie in a feotal position on one side. This time I slept like a baby bar waking up at two AM, I still can't work out why so I tested my blood and got a 4.8 mmol/L so I just went back to sleep. I got out of bed at half eight and my blood had only risen to 5.5 mmol/L. That meant breakfast time. So it was a case of a sausage buttie which was wonderful. Two hours later that had pushed my blood up to 10.7 mmol/L but that had just dropped to 6.0 mmol/L prior to lunch. All in all, the day is going well. I can't wait to see what the graphs are going to be for this. Shortly I'll be off out to Sainsburys to get hold of a few pizzas as I'll be interested to see the effects of one of those on my bloods. Sloppy Guiseppes here I come! That and I do need to get some food in for the next few weeks...

CGM Happiness...

Well, as of today I am wired up to a CGM (Constant Glucose Monitor) for the next few days. I unplug from it, so to speak, on Tuesday. That's half an hour out of work then. I've already baptised it with bloods around the 10 - 11 mmol/L mark. Fingers crossed my lunch time correction has sorted it all out for me.

Insertion was achieved using a mechanical device and was virtually painless, this is much better than last time around. Last time, I couldn't even walk a hundred metres with it attached due to a huge itchiness emerging from the site. This time around I've been walkign all over the place and I'm about to pop out to post a card to my Mother.

This place is familiar!

Comrades!

Nope, sorry, wrong party conference! I do believe that I have some good news! Despite all the dicking about that I've done with my Levemir doses my HbA1c has only risen by 0.1%. It's now 8.3% and what's even better is my cholesterol has come down to 3.9! Drinking... Mmmm beer. I was out last night and got shit faced rather earlier than everyone else and was thus denied entry in that establishment known to Brighton inhabitants as Coalition... Remind me not to drink on a next to empty stomach again! I do believe I should have had a pizza prior to that one. But hey ho, at least I was up in time to go to my lab class at the satanic hour of nine in the morning!

My new dose of Levemir is currently thirty six units taken at eight in the evening and it bloody well seems to work! For the past few days I've been waking to bloods that are perfectly in range. Now I'm going to ruin that all with a couple of cereal bars....
