I’ve completely lost control of my sugars the last two weeks, 3 different pod sites since I started noting that and it just seems like there’s backup of insulin being processed or extreme delay or something I can’t imagine.
I usually balance out overnight and start with reasonable sugars, I took my bolus this morning (8am) an hour before eating because I wanted to see if it would have any effect before the afternoon. It didn’t and after I ate my blood sugars rose and have been high since, I took my bolus for lunch at 10:30am and saw no change before I ate at 12:30pm, made sure to eat less. It rose and has been sitting at 18 since.
I’ve been taking corrective boluses the past week when this happens trying to bring it down so I don’t lose even more to nerve damage but that has led to crashing lows in the afternoon and rest of day. I don’t think my pump delivered more than 0.4 units yesterday from 3pm-9pm and I ate 80G glucose tablets at 3:30pm and two suppers as it continued to drop during that time. It feels like half my meals these days are glucose tablets which usually take an hour to work so I start eating them when it starts dropping and it’s at around 10.0. I’ll still go <2.2 for an hour sometimes despite eating damn near a bottle of them at that point. Then in the evening like 6 hours after my last meal it’ll start to rise and in the evenings I can typically bring my sugar down so they balance out overnight.
I have no idea what to do, my endo has given up as well as my other doctors and don’t have a clue what to do either. I can’t exercise anymore where I used to hike and jog and walk but I usually do that after work when my sugar is crashing for hours and I probably should have called an ambulance the last three times I tried.
I took note of the placement of the last pod and will do so with this one as well. I have had expected results from my insulin before but hitting 3 sites on my body where absorption is wacky is the only thing I can think of to explain this. Sorry if details are lacking, I’m losing my sh*t a little bit.
