| | | Done with Diabetes today
Today I have had it, and I can't do this anymore. LOL That would be nice if I could just -not do this anymore- After my
1st illness with "D", a lingering "cold", my numbers have been completely whacked. Good bye to my record of no numbers over 180 since I started the pump in June.....good by to being easily figured out. 
after 2 weeks of mostly 180's and even higher, I now feel totally hypo at 88! I am soooo mad right now. Nothing is worse than having to sit thru a hypo that isnt even a hypo! All my hard work ruined in just 2weeks of highs. I HATE starting over. Guess I better get used to it hugh? That is my rant for the day  |

| | | Cool disease....huh!
I know exactly what you mean. D sucks.....but it's OK with me because lots of people have much worse than D. Captain Dave for example. He really needs support, badly!

| | | I was 6 when I was dx. Now I am 68 and I do not remember what it is like to be nondiabetic. I have had a happy life and I don't want it to change. If I no longer had diabetes I would probably eat all kinds of sugar and junk foods and catch diabetes all over again. I want to stay healthy just like I am now.

| | | I have learned really not to beat myself up so much, I do what I do, if it doesn't want to cooperate, oh well such is life.....or that is what I try to tell myself....I get high's I get low's I have good days.....I have bad days, I have rollercoaster days.....sorry that you hit the 180's I know I was proud of not seeing a 300 in forever....and then was so happy about not seeing a 250 then came my birthday cake last week...ugh, then came a **** bubble in my tubing that I was 296 on tues morning ughhh....been good since then, but I am awaiting that 200 that always has to sneak up on me sometimes.....I give up mostly.....with that it happens if your sick, then I wouldn't worry about it too much it is normal, a normal healthy person bg's can rise to that level and higher with some illnesses....
Just keep a venting.....I feel your pain....but even though I learned not to beat myself up over it, I still get pissed if I am high before a meal LOL...

Go ahead a get it out, rant away. Then when you feel better, you know you can get things right again. You have done it before. I imagine it takes awhile to figure out the pump. I can't even imagine.
You must be so completely frustrated and I am so sorry.

| | | you are probably more consistent with the pump than you were before. Lets hope the tech keeps improving and before long something is there that acurately monitors blood an in some fashion automatically controls your insulin needs.
I am usually pessimistic on the whole cure thing but 'tech to treat' seams to be improving, even since my girl was Dx'd a year ago. |

I think you know this already, but after running high its easier to readjust if you can hover around 130-150 mg/dl for a day or three as 160-180 is when sugar becomes toxic for most. This teeter of toxic back to normal can be very hard, in my experience, if I try to achieve 'normal' readings after being high for 3+ days. |
