It has been the month from hell. I'll go into that at another time , or later. The last time I saw a scale was 23 July. At that time I weighed less than I can remember weighing in decades . 121.5 kg or 267.86 lbs. I ordered a scale last night so I will know soon. Meanwhile, my CGM (continuous glucose meter) has tried to keep me in line. The meals here are a challenge. Breakfast tomorrow, for example: choice of egg, egg biscuit (what is that? Is it an egg on a biscuit?), bacon, and fresh fruit. How many carbs is that? If I check in here, an egg biscuit can be anywhere from 15 to 39 carbs. So I either take one unit of insulin for the biscuit , or 4. What kind of fresh fruit ? A wide range there as well.
In a restaurant you can always look up the nutritional values. If I want a sausage biscuit , for example, I can get the carbs and know how much in Carl's or mc Donalds. They may be different but I will know how much insulin I need. I have done my best but some nights I had been alerted to blood glucose that is over 200, or under 70. This is not only frustrating , but dangerous. I'm supposed to inject 15 minutes before a meal but staff here has told me I may not inject in the dining room . I was at a baby shower today with my RNS daughter and another nurse. While talking to them I calculated how much insulin I needed for the cake. They where shocked by the dining room rule. Also Katie had said she would inject me but NOT until the cake was ready to be served .This is because over injecting can be extremely dangerous, which of course is what would happens if dinner is delayed or changed. I am in a quandary as what steps to take next. I have entered today's meals as best I can but depending on which I use I could be wrong in either direction. Dinner tomorrow is "hot turkey sandwich". Please look it up and check the carbs on each listing and tell me which you think would be correct. Enough for now of that frustration. Will inform you later of some of the other fun things since the last time I wrote .
