I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't sleep until almost midnight and then I woke up around 4:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. So finally at 5:30 I crawled out of bed. I am still feeling very tired, but I figure I may be able to get a power nap later.

Yesterday was not a good day. At work on Fridays during the month of December, people are going to be bringing treats. Yesterday was full of soups, breads and treats. I decided that I was going to just adjust my insulin and eat. Well, I found that by giving myself more insulin and eating more, I think I fell into the "short circuit" zone. My sugars were sky high. So high that I knew it, but didn't want to test to face it. I started out the day frustrated because my sugars were high to start with, then I did what I was supposed to with my medicine and eating breakfast and 2.5 hours later, my sugars were 284. It was at that point that they brought out the food and I had a bit of a "why bother?" attitude.

This morning I tested 254 at 7:15am after not eating anything since I got out of bed. I am going to change my attitude today and I am not going to just eat whatever because I have a high number. I didn't have time to email my doctor yesterday to have her adjust my doses, but I think I am going to go back to the 1:2 ratio (taking 1 unit of insulin for each 2 carbs). I can't go a full week of high numbers when I know that the other will work.

I am looking forward to meeting with the nutritionist on Monday. Even if I don't learn anything new, I am hoping that she will be able to give me a new drive.

Have a good one!
