Diabetes.......

Well, I had my quarterly appointment with my Endo ( er Internal Medicine Doc.).  By the way, I LOVE Doc. Parilo, he is THE man, and I hope I never see another Doc. for my diabetes. 

 I have some "weird" stuff going on with my body / diabetes right now.  I'm closing in on 10 years with diabetes, the first 9 have been pretty predictable.  Meaning, I count my carbs, take my insulin and have a blood sugar that is fairly predictable.  I have recently been experiencing MANY unpredictables (if that's a word).  Especially in the evening, if I eat late, let's say, 75g carbs, fairly fattening, at about 8pm (normal BS, let's say 105).  I'll bolus my normal 8.5 units.  I'll go to bed at 65 (11pm)  and eat some carbs (Red Vine licorice is my carb of choice right now).  Set my alarm for 2am, and check at 145, do not bolus.  Alarm on CGMS goes off at 3am over 200 bolus 2 units, alarm goes off at 4am 255.  Bolus 3 units.  This is becoming WAY to common.  

My A1C at my appointment last Thursday was 6.4, one might say: this is good.  Well, I'm riding the rollercoaster, and I'm not liking it.  I have been consistently under 6.0, with very steady blood sugars.  On this rollercoaster I'm riding I'l go from 41 to 260 in 1 hour.  My Doc has set me up with an appt. with the Medtronic Nurse to go over my Basal and Bolus testing, I pray that this is the problem.  I feel like I'm doing everything right, I could probably be a little more disciplined in what I eat, but right now, I don't want to. If this "testing" doesn't work, I will do what I have to.  I am determined to live my life with diabetes, as I don't have diabetes, BUT, I don't want to deal with any of the complications, and I know this takes discipline.  

I'll get to my running tomorrow, things are going well, except for this DAMNED humidity.
