I just love starting my day off with a blood sugar reading over 400...said no one ever! I gave myself insulin to treat the high and checked 2 hours later. Guess what?! It's still over 400! I gave myself more insulin hoping this is just one of those fluke things.
I just tested again and I got a reading of 238. It's coming down but I definitely don't feel good. I feel like I could drink an entire river because I'm so thirsty. My body is so heavy whenever I get up to do something and I'm very cranky...classic symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)!
I was going to check for ketones but I don't have any pee sticks (ketosticks?). I feel like I just shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning! I might need a nap before the day is over.
I was trying to transfer some videos I have on my phone to my computer so I could eventually edit them and post them on here and YouTube but of course I can't do it! My pictures transfer but the videos won't. This is very minor but when your blood sugar is 400 and your "crazy" meds need to be adjusted, it feels like a huge problem! I was ready to flip my shit!...and there's blood all over my keyboard from typing after I did my finger stick. Lol!...diabetic problems for sure!
This article was brought to my attention from a friend. I have heard of service dogs for people who are blind and who have other disabilities but you rarely here of service dogs that can detect low and high blood sugars in diabetics! This article is very interesting. I think training dogs to help diabetics, is a great idea! They can be someone's life saver!
