Still Learning to be Type 1

I’ve been having a flare-up of my old friend pancreatitis for a couple days.  And it has sent my glucose into the 200 range.  When I was a type 2 being sick didn’t affect my blood sugar readings.  So, I had to call the educator today and ask how to deal with this.  She told me I could test every three hours and take more insulin as needed to correct.  I’ve been taking shots every 3 hours all day.  I’ve also been taking demerol for the pain.  Not my favorite way to be.  I really, really HATE that drugged feeling.  They say you should learn something new every day.  I’ve learned something today.

  1. It’s a hard enough adjustment – trying to make sense of insulin while medicating for pain is just nearly impossible. We’re out here cheering you on – do the best you can, it’ll likely be better when the flair up is over.

    HUG!

  2. Hug
