Doing a little better today, but still too high. The thing is, I know exactly why it is high, I ate too much last night. My Humulog (fast acting insulin) is too high I think, and it makes me go low a few hours after I eat, therefor I snack and then I overshoot my mark. The culprit last night was Pringles, hah. This is one of the reasons I am changing my endocrinologist.

When I go in for an appointment and tell him things like this, he responds by raising or lowering both my fast and slow acting insulin with a broad stroke. Then what ends up happening is either my sugar gets all out of whack, or I don't listen to what he say because it makes me feel bad and then I am not as vigilant in my personal care. The care of a diabetic (as I am learning) is more of an art, with targeted changes here and there until the ultimate goal is reached (or at least your aim improves). There also has to be a very high level of trust between the caregiver and the patient. If you don't trust what is being offered to you as health management goals or practices, you are less likely to succeed. I found a new guy and I am calling to make an appointment today. 181
