As i sit here posting this im feeling high. So i thought i would tell you what i do. Ok, i get out my BM monitor and turn it on (Its a fancy one that dispenses the strips automatically). Anyway i then prick my finger to draw the blood required. I will then let the test strip suck up some of the blood. The BM monitor takes a while to work out the sugar and the result is... 20.6. This means my sugar level is very high and so im starting to feel ill. Ill corect this with 5 units of insulin. Im having a guess but i probably didnt inject enough for my tea several hours ago.

Ok, im back at school now, so ive been faced with several new challenges recently. My sugars have been running low over the last few weeks. But ive had some bad hypos after doing games at school on a Friday. I usually wake up about 2 or 3 in the morning feeling really hungry. So i eat a load of sugar tablets, before doing a blood sugar test and confirming im low. I will then go downstairs and have something to eat. I have found i tend to be high when i wake up in the mornings so, i will have to remember to eat a bit less.

Yesterday i was low and become violent. I had gone to have something to eat when mum wanted to cook dinner. I said i would get it out of the way, but i was told no and so just when and currled up in a chair to wait for her to finish. She came in and got really agree with me. She tried to grab me but i pushed her. I eventually had something once they left me alone. Although this is how i remember it, it was probably very different for them.

Sorry, i havent posted but my computers not been working.Like i said i was going to be going to the hosptal. My HBA1C has gone up a little to 9.0 but we think this is because ive been going high over night. SO to try and rediuce this, which it has i have increasde by bedtime (Glargine) from 15 to 17. However as this is the only thing wrong, we are thinking a pump might not be needed. But ive just started feeling high, so ill go and do a blood test and then do some insulin if need be. I still cant think of how to describe being high, but if you have any suggestions just post them.Today was ok but i started feel

Well, not much happened, but i did start feeling high after breakfast. So i went and did my blood glucose level and was 20.1, so i had obiously not done enough insulin, so i corrected it and then the rest oftoday has been fine.

I was expecting to go low yesterday, after explorers and badminton, so when i started feeling high i was suprised. When im feeling high i suppose its a bit like when you ill, but you have a horrid taste in your mouth. Its a really difficult thing to describe. So i gave may self some extra insulin. Guess what happens next, i go low. So i had obviously given myself too much insulin.

Today was a fairly complex sort of day. Thats because i was runnig low before i did an hour of badminton. This means thatim likely to go low at some point tonight or tomorrow. So i have decided to run my blood glucose levels slightly high. So far it's been working, as i didnt go low whilst at explorers.
