As you know I am a type 1 Diabetic and when I get sick I do it with style. For the past couple weeks I've been struggling with my blood sugar in secret It had been going up past 600 going to 300 with shots and going back up with out me eating. Well I say in secret I flipped out on my best friend this morning and we was goggling no carb meals for those that *GAG * on meat as in HATE MEAT! lol that would be ME!
Finally I just went to the Dr went I felt like I was going to fall out. After a EKG on my heart, A Xray a blood test and urine test because you know no day is complete without them test!! I found out I had glucose and Ketones in my urine. A few more test and what do you know no wonder I felt like tired and my blood sugar was out of control I have a infection in my lungs causing my blood sugar to go high.
I should know better! Shame on me. Sometimes I forget taking care of me is important also. I knew my blood sugar was out of control but I was eating right and I had a cough and I was wore out I figured I was just tired and needed some extra rest. I need to learn to listen to my own body.
Good news is after IV meds I am feeling a lot better tonight and my blood sugar is down in the 100's! Bad news is I am on instructions to REST REST REST and my DH is going to be cooking the Turkey Thanks Giving! Here is to hoping he learned a few things from me over the years! I am still going to do the dressings for the kids no matter what he says lol Something has to be eatable ha ha! J/k I think he'll do fine!
If you don't hear from me Friday Call for back up!
