JUNE 7 2017
The magnifier is working wonderfully. I can easily measure just .5 of N insulin before bed if warranted.
I just came from Dr. Graham who said my A1C was 7.5 and he's very pleased. He and I both decided that as long as I can stop any vicious (we all know how significant THAT word is) low blood sugars, especially at night, that there's no correction needed.
A doctor mentioned long ago something that I've just remembered. I always get upset when I have to cover low blood sugars with food; i.e. juice, candy, etc. . I find it's so easy to gain weight and then have to plump up the insulin to compensate for that and the domino effect begins. Well, if we use just a few ounces of a Pepsi or Coke at those times, it helps take the blood sugar up far enough to stop the reaction and also stops the after effect of high blood sugar which comes from the continual digestion of of food, jucie etc. This seems to stop the 'over compensation' affect of too much sugar ......
On that note, good night....
