September 20

Fasting is 16.3 this morning. higher than yesterday but I’ll be getting the sliding scale for all three meals today, not just lunch and supper. Doctor just in and going to increase my humulin by 1u so I am getting 5u am and 5u pm (with breakfast and supper). He might change what the Novorapid need is but we’ll see today. He said I may get to go home tomorrow, after he checks in with me again and I see the Diabetic Nurse. Yay! Home! OK, so all my questions today…
~~
I might take the rest of the week off. Definitely need to call about tomorrow but also considering Wednesday. I’d like to have my foods/meds/home under control before I dive back into work. Yes, I’ll have Tuesday but it’s hitting me now how big of a deal this is- really learning how my food and energy needs effect each other. Working all that out before I get back to work. I’m scared but I’m ready, I think. It’s gonna take more focus than I usually give to myself… I like that the insulin doses have been taken small and slowly- it has helped me not be as afraid.
~~
So I didn’t have a snack between breakfast and lunch- tired now and a bit fidgety. Snack between lunch and supper, head feels clearer now. Funny too, I feel warmer than usual- not feverish but comfortable warm. Sleep with a thin blanket and not even needing socks, and it’s probably 22 or 23 degrees – I’d still need them overnight, when the room cools off usually.

12.2 at hs!! Yay! And I am flippin starving!!! Had 1/2 cup potato salad that a friend brought in for me and I want the rest!!!
~~
I had that 1/2cup and then sat back and thought about it/ really listened to how I felt- tummy’s ok with 1/2cup.
