Hello to all!
I just wanted to announce that last Thursday I went to the dietician to talk about smart foods to eat to reduce spikes and to talk about my A1C results.
IT IS 6.8%!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I are so beyond happy! My A1C 6 months ago was 8.4, then 3 months ago it was 7.6 and now... it's 6.8! I can't believe it :) That happened because I've been working like a crazy person to reduce it... now.. the doc said we're good to go for baby making! For some reason... it seems more real now. Before, when we were already trying, I kept worrying that if I did become pregnant, the docs would be worried and I would feel judged. But now, I feel like it's time... for real.
To say the least, we're REALLY happy.
TTC update:
I seem to have ovulated on day27, which would make me 4DPO (4 days post ovulation)... if I can make it past 7 I'll be happy!

Liver, thanks but no thanks!
This post is a little overdue but I opened my blog to write a post this morning and saw the draft sitting there... thought I would go back to this original thought...
To be honest, it's not the first time or the last time it happens so it's pretty timely anyway.
Last week, at 5AM, during a nighttime/early morning test, I woke up at a staggering 26.0. WHAT! Yes... 26. I know right? Scary... how did I feel? Terrible, sick, tired, nauseous...thirsty. Man, was I ever thirsty. I decided that I would sleep an extra hour and go in to work later...
I couldn't remember exactly what had happened to cause this high until later on that day I went through my night time readings in my trusty meter. I had been woken up at 2AM by my husband and was at 10.3 so I had decided to bolus to lower it to a normal range. Little did I know that the meeting between bolus and early morning basal would be so tragic and turn into such a BAD morning (pardon my reference to a bad date).
It turns out, my bolus made me crash and my liver decided to give me a boost of sugar which sent me soaring into the high 20s. HOW the HELL did this all happen within 3 hours? I don't know.
It seems that this COULD be helpful if you're comatosed and your liver is trying to save you but because I DID wake up... I wasn't so happy with the outcome. Of course, I wasn't wearing my new CGM which could have caught this problem. At the same time though, last time this happened (going low in the night), my CGM shut off for 3 hours and I woke up at 19... so I'm not sure I would have been better off had I had it plugged in.
Liver, thanks...but no thanks!

PS. You'll see some creative posts on this blog starting soon too. I've decided that instead of having a D blog, a sewing blog, a knitting blog and a whatever else blog, I'll have ONE... and it'll be here.
