Tomorrow I had my 30 day checkup after starting insulin. For 5 years my diabetes has been controlled by diet but my body quitmaking insulin so now I have to take the shots. It isn't fun. The biggest thing is the quick drop from around 9:30 until about 10 in the morning, especially when I am engaged in some physical activity like mowing the lawn, or hoeing weeds in the garden. The first time it dropped to 70 I thought I was going to die.
Yesterday I was just feeling a little hungry but thought it was too early to eat so I tested my sugar and my reading was 49. Before I could put my test kit up I starterd shaking. It isn't a good feeling.
I had ran out of test strips so for four or five months I didn't test. My average reading during the last three month before insulin was 400. After taking insulin, my average reading, according to my test meter is 136.
