You guys are great!
I really don't think I would be able to go through times like these w/o you all. I'd probably fall apart. Thanks so much, everyone!
Duck, Marie: I am trying to stay calm, I have taken a few deep breaths, and am not to let it bring me down (but it's really hard
). I hate having to increase my insulin by so much to bring my sugars down, but it that's what it takes... This afternoon I tried to just take it easy, even took a little nap (which I know I needed). I tested and it did come down a good deal, so I did go to the gym for a short workout.
Robin and Tony, I still don't feel right, but I do feel a little better (I guess that's a good sign
) . I'm relatively positive that it's stress that's at the root of it all. Things are NOT good at work, I have been really stressed out and upset in general, and I think it's taking a toll on my health. It's amazing how stress can do this. I did eat dinner just now, even though I have been a little apprehensive about eating. I'm afraid it's going to shoot it back up, but I guess I can't not eat. Well, I'll see what happens soon enough. I hope some of your stress subsides and your numbers improve, Tony...it's not fun dealing with stressful situation by any means. It sounds like you have a great attitude about things, which I think is very important, especially in dealing with something like this. Robin, sorry to hear that Eri is having her own blood sugar problems. Hopefully, the pump will help to even out the rollercoaster blood sugars. Gosh, I'm still hoping my pump is going to do that for me, but like it was said it's not a cure, just something to help manage diabetes. I'm sorry if I sound negative, I truly hope Eri's experience with pumping is everything you both hope it to be.
Anyway, thanks so much for everyones' replies. It means a lot to me.
