Doctor in (does he ever take time off?) He also feels more comfortable with me being here a couple days. He’s going to adjust the amounts a bit and move to sliding scale for the rapid acting (then I can adjust for exercise and that may also help with not having meals at exactly the same time every day). I asked and he’s pretty certain it’s type 1- that it’s changed this much so quickly (my symptoms) and my suspicions re my diet and exercise over the last 10 days not doing anything to bring it down. I feel less blamey of myself. I know, I know, it’s not my fault but it kinda feels like it. “If I had done things differently” etc. Type 1 is scary though, because, once again my body has decided to stop working properly… I am scared of it but I also feel more empowered. I’m not going to let it rule me. I am taking control of my life and making it work for me. I am doing the things I love, not just working constantly.

(Reading this now is hard because I am off track and feeling shitty about everything.)

Anyway, doctor says I am here until at least Monday but he is writing an order that I can go out for day passes between meals, which’ll be good to at least get out for some fresh air… I was gonna say I still feel like all of a sudden I’m gonna wake up ‘normal’, that it was all a mistake. Blood tests (and multiple ones) don’t lie. My sugar is high and I haven’t been doing anything ‘bad’ in 10 days- walking a lot of it and 4 days of cardio. My ketones were at a moderate/ borderline high amount, which means my body was burning off fat and muscle stores instead of using the sugar in my blood. It’s not my fault.

Started sliding scale dosing at lunch. So, base of 2u Novorapid and then, based on my BG, another 1-3u. Today I was 17.4 before lunch so that meant another 3u of novo, so 5u total at lunch. That’s double what my breakfast fast acting was.

Tired today. Slept 5-6 hrs but still so sleepy.
