My Diabetes (day 7)
Back in the good old days, when I had a solo endocrinology practice, every time I demonstrated BG testing to patients, I always wondered "is this the time it'll be high?" Of course, thereafter, I didn't have the need to demo to patients, nor for that matter the means (as all the strips slowly outdated) so haven't tested for a few yrs.
So, now I also have the Big D, self-diagnosed a week ago. I've been on insulin several days now, and BGs are bouncing between 70's (with shaking and grouchies and MEGAhunger) & 200's. Checking about 8 BGs/day and shooting up about 5 times/day.
Many thanks to everyone for the words of sympathy and support.
Wonder when I will stop counting the days since diagnosis?

My husband's last A1c was 11.1 and he's been using a pump for over a year now. Not very mindful of what he eats however. I don't know how to get thru to him. (Comment this)
