Rough Patch

I've Hit a Rough Patch

You would think I would be over this rough patch that I have been going through but I feel like I am stuck at the moment.

I have been so sick this year and needless to say I am over being sick, I have been sick with Sinus, Viral Infections, Chickenpox and Sinus again this week. Naturally not being well affects my blood glucose levels like you would not believe, I am up, down and all around if that makes sense.

It becomes so frustrating when I have fluctuating blood glucose levels and my options are limited in regards to what I can do to fix things. For example when I have a high blood sugar level like I did this morning 22.4mmol to be exact, I had to do a correction bolus and I did I gave for one exchange and had no food. The correction bolus brought me down beautifully after one hour and fifteen minutes I was 8.9mmol. 

I can't really do a temporary basal rate and increase my basal for a high blood glucose level because it just does not work on me and that is a little frustrating. If I do a temporary basal for a low blood sugar level, I lower my basal rate to accommodate what my level is and the temporary rate works a treat and I have no problem.

I don't feel like giving up, I can not give up period. No matter how frustrated or tired I get I need to keep moving forward despite my blood glucose levels. I feel as I get older managing my Diabetes will not be easy, sure I will have good days but I know that I will have bad days too.

I hope and pray that everything will get better in time for me and I hope that I can stay on a good path with my Diabetes because I don't mind saying it is hard trying to stay on this good path. I need to focus on getting and feeling better within myself, I need to start exercising again and more importantly I need to feel good about myself.

I feel there is ways to get out of my rough patch and it is all about those three needs. If I can't achieve those needs then I have a serious problem on my hands. I think starting tomorrow I will focus on all three needs, need one plus need two equals need three if that makes sense to you.

I have done this post a day early as I am not sure if I would have got this post up tomorrow so please enjoy.

Until next time
