Sugar cravings and high bloodsugar!
Kategori: Allmänt
Been three days now with bad/high bs... changing out the insulin seems not to have worked as quickly as I would have wanted it too. When my body does not get insulin for a little while, or it gets useless insulin, it goes into survival mode and probably wants whatever insulin it can get a hold of. So now when its getting "good" insulin I guess nothing is much enough. I had an avocado sandwhich today, last week I would have taken about 1 unit maybe for it, but today I had to take 2 units and still did not end up at the bs I wanted.
What I struggle most with when my bs is messing with me is the stress of not being able to work out properly, or really not having the energy to do so. My head very easily turns into a big blur/blob/mess when my bs is high. Today right before I left work I thought I had lost my work keys and totally freaked out, but they were sitting in the backoffice door.. I ran around the facility like an idiot and totally freaked - proof I cannot think straight with a bs at 15!! Another thing I despice with highs is my sugar/carb-cravings hits the roof every time my bs is above 12-13mmol/L.. the exact moment you should not be wanting to/or having sugary stuff! Tonight I was so close to go by the biggest bag of candy and stuff my face with it, but I didnt, if I would have I might have had to go on my first trip to the ER tonight :/
Yesterday became a workoutfree day, Mr C and I were coaching a triathlon event though so I was very much surrounded by training, I also worked at Friskis (gym) so pretty much surrounded by healthy and athletic people all day. If anything it made me motivated to train whenever I will feel up for it both physically and mentally. I hope to be able to continue working with something like what we did at the triathlon event yesterday, but full-time in the future!
After the finish!
As a compromise to a run, I walked to work today instead of biking and then I was supposed to run home, but since my bs was at 15 I couldnt. It is dangerous to work out if the bs is above 15mmol/L :( Could pass out into a coma and get ketoacedosis.
Walk home!
This morning I had a very successful meeting with my diabetesnurse, she is really the best nurse ever!! I have now got a continous bs meter on me (CGM) for the next month, which is awesome beacuse I can use it for training for the Iron Man and then also for the actual race! LOVE IT!! Also got a new bs meter, I figured I need about 4 during my Iron Man just to be safe!
Had bananapancakes for the first time today! 1 banana + 1 egg + chia seeds + coconut flakes, fried in some butter = YUMMY!
Hoping for a better day tomorrow, plan is to lift before working 10am-6.30pm! Lets hope this stupid illness will give me a break and let me complete a successful workout with energy!
