Swam this morning, went great, and had a pretty good day today until the afternoon, took a little bit too much insulin for lunch and was getting low about 2 hours afterwards, so I ate a couple of candy pieces which brought me to a good level. Then I prepared an early dinner, chickpea zucchini and tomato soup and an egg sandwhich, also had a couple of pieces of candy with that ( I am aware that this candy snacking has to stop, but really thought I could manage it), but thought my dinner was so light carb wise that one unit novo rapid would be enough, especially since I wanted to end up a little high (10) because I was gonna run for more than 90min only 2hrs after dinner and didnt want to have to eat again. After dinner I ended up at 14 at my first check, felt like I was getting high, was feeling feverish and getting a really pounding headache, which is why I checked my sugar to begin with, anyhow took 2 units to try to push my BS down. 45min later, only an hour before when my running workout with the triathlon team was going to start, my sugar was 16.5, which seemed odd to me, however not based on how I was feeling cause I was feeling really crappy at this point.. anyhow I decide not to run based on that Ive been told its deangerous to work out when your BS is above 15, called Fanny, because we were going to run together, and we decide to go for a walk around old town.. but before I leave my apt I kind of pannicked (because I read a fb post from another diabetic that we have to manage our diabetes really well to not get damaged organs later on - freaked me out), and took another 2 units, biked into the city, 1hr after my last shot my BS was then at 4.1!!!! (from 16.5 to 4.1 in one hour :() Since we were going for a walk, meaning more moving, meaning BS will drop more, especially since I recently took insulin - I decided to take 2 sugar tabs. 20min later, no change so I took 2 more tabs. 30min later it had gone up, I started biking home and stopped on the way home to get some cold medecine at the grocery store, walk in to the store and spend 200kr without getting medecine, completely fogetting, and sweating like a pig feeling another hypoglycemic attack coming on :/ I pay and walk out of the store, BS is lower again - 3.7 :/ eat some yoghurt snacks because at this moment I felt like I could eat anything and a lot of anything too! Knees were shaking from being low for so long and I felt sort of like I had had a couple of glasses of wine or something (meaning I felt tipsy from BS being weird)... its what the low does to you. I started riding home, called mom to keep me sane for the ride.. Fortunally when I get home Im at 6.7, so its finally going up! THANK GOD! However at this point, I really had to think of what to eat so that I would not get high again, because it is very easy to go quickly from low to high because of some complex bodily functions that I dont want to get into right now (and to be honest Im not even sure whats going on completely either yet) With help from my mom we decide that 2 finn crisps with cream cheese and cuecumber and a carrot seems good.. its important that the food you eat after the BS goes up from sugary foods is low carb and high fiber food. Now my sugar is finally sort of stabilized at 9 which is okay for me.. hopefully tomorrow is a better day diabetes wise, cause today kinda sucked! Vision is blurry, head is hurting, and feeling dizzy, but soon it is time to go to bed and recharge my batteries for a new day WITH BETTER NUMBERS!!!! 

 

After more thought, there is one really great thing about this horrible disease, you really learn that your friends and family are the best! Big thanks to Fanny, Mr. C, and MOM! for getting me through this night and always being there for me! :)
