Well, I only made it until about 10 before I broke down and took more insulin. But by then it was too late for today. I feel really awful. I have this thing where if my bg goes above 130, I get physically ill. Fatigue and aching, mainly, and bad. Back before I was on insulin, people with CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue) were telling me that I definitely had it. This went on for years. When I started insulin and got under control, the fatigue and aches went away. So this is why I had been doing all those crazy things to keep my bg down. Today I spent most of the day at or above 130 and it all came right back. I guess once I got out the other end of that horrible tunnel, I have a hard time going back in. Anyway, I learned that I can't stick out a week or 3.5 weeks pretending I don't need basal insulin to satisfy this doctor.

I'm going to take another pass at him tomorrow. I remembered that my old endo was going to put me on Lantus in June but I said I didn't think it was necessary yet. It didn't stick in my mind because I didn't know this would even be a problem! Aargh, why do some insulins have to require a prescription?!
