| Nobody is going to flame, but I do think you will hear a few horror stories.
Bodies get used to what you do to them. If you are running high (and you are) your body will adjust. When you do inject insulin, you are not going to feel well for awhile. Your body is used to running high. I know this because I ignored my diabetes for years. I ran in the 22 range (400's) many days. When I took insulin and tried to gain control, I gained weight as my blood sugar dropped. I felt hideous. So, I ran high for years. One day, I started noticing some signs of complications of diabetes. Feet tingling, hands numb and high blood pressure. The smarter side of me decided it was time to take care of my body. I started watching my diet (carbs) injecting when I should (eventually got a pump) and got exercising. I always slept well when my blood sugar was high....my poor body was struggling. I didn't sleep well for awhile when I was in control because I felt low at 150! Finally, my body adjusted to the lower sugar. I started sleeping fine and I felt healthy. It took time.
You are damaging your body Designer, as I suspect you know. You will one day wake up and find you have done enough damage to your body that it won't be able to adjust anymore.
My suggestion is don't re-invent the wheel. You really are no different than any other diabetic and you will eventually pay for your experimentation. Get control and you will find that you will feel even better. Don't expect immediate results, but know that in the future you will be much healthier.
Good Luck |
