As I looked at my averages last night in preparation for my Friday endo check-up, I couldn't help but complain to myself that there is no pattern. Every day is different, often drastically so. I can't find any constant area. There aren't variables causing these random shifts, at least not to the naked eye.
First, there's my morning blood sugars. Sometimes I wake up low even after a bedtime snack with no bolus. And sometimes I wake up in the 200 or 300 range with no apparent cause. Because of my history of seizures and severe lows, I lean towards the lows though. At this point in my life, I'd rather wake up 300 occasionally instead of trying to raise my insulin to counteract those highs.

Blogging is difficult for me sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love this website and everyone associated with the Blogabetes community. Each and every one of you continue to be an enormous help. I can come on here and rant and rave to the ENTIRE WORLD about my life with diabetes. I make friends, I laugh, I tear up, and it's all wonderful. It's fantastic and I have no doubt this will continue to be an extremely helpful thing for me and everyone else too. At times though, the only thing I crave is complete and utter privacy, freedom from the world of diabetes and from everything. The last thing on my mind is the desire to share one more personal diabetic experience with the world. (READ MORE)

"Do you see symptoms of low blood glucose? Shakiness, sweating or disorientation?"
"Well, sure, of course. My son has type 1 diabetes. I'm sorry, who are you again?"
"This is a free service from your insurance provider. We'll be calling occasionally to check in with you to see how things are going."
"Oh."
"How often do you see low blood sugars?"
"I'd say we see at least one low almost every day."
"Whoa! Every day???"
"Well it's a long day."
"Do you see elevated blood glucose levels?"
"Well, yeah. I did mention my son has diabetes, right?"
"Yes. How often do you see high blood glucose?"

"Go get it!" I said to Susanne, pointing to Charlie’s medical chart that was placed outside the exam room by one of the nurses.
Over time we have learned that the chart gets placed in the slot as we are taken to the room and then approximately six minutes later, a nurse returns with a post-it note with Charlie’s A1c written on it, and tucks it into the thick folder.
"Go get it!" I nudged her forward.
"No. I’m scared," she said with a nervous smile.
"Fine, I’ll do it!" I said, marching to the doorway and looking both ways to see if the coast was clear.
I snagged the folder, dashed back into the room, opened and then closed it quickly and put it back.
