LOL you guys are going to think I am bonkers for saying this LOL.

Since being on Actose, And bolusing for the expected spikes I encounter.

I have been hypoglycemic more times than I have ever been...and guess what?

As much as I suffer from that particular condition I am happy about it. Weird huh?

The reason why I am happy about it is because for so long I have been too high. I have always felt horrible for that. Ketoacidosis this, hypokalemia that, hypomagnesmia this, heart attack that.

I am only 23 years old and my health is worse than my grandmother's is.

For once in my life with diabetes, I am having trouble keeping my bg UP and that to me makes me happy cuz that means there is hope for tweaking my insulin intake to regulate it closer to normal instead of diving off the cliff into the low stream.

I understand why you feel this way. I don't think you are bonkers. I do think you should work as hard as possible to avoid hypos because they can lead to coma, brain injury, and death.

One step at a time though, no sense in trying to run before you can walk . Congrats on achieving some level of control even if it’s not "perfect", now it’s time to fine tune. Good luck and keep asking questions.

So you're taking just actos and occassional correction boluses and still going low? No basal insulin? Sounds like you need less Actos. Glad it's working.
