…started with a shrieking high alarm!! BG 275! 🙀

I must have slept through the earlier alert (!!) and after a few fuzzy moments just dealt with the situation: inhaled an 8-unit Afrezza and changed my Pod, watched BGs till I leveled out, and read the news. Haha, I have even had to eat some Sweet Tarts to avoid a low!

For months after my diagnosis, I was just clueless about diabetes management and was way more worried about hypos than high BGs. Then I entered the panic phase of awareness: “OMG high BGs eeeek! What have I done??” Now, thanks to good tech and the online community, and especially my FUD family, I just get on with what needs to be done, for which I am very grateful . 🙏 😊

Happy Diaversary @CatLady! IDK why, but from your posts I just assumed you were an “old hand” at the diabetes game.
