hey guys,
so for the last two mornings I have not got my numbers to come down, between like 6 am to 9am, and then even later today, I thought that it was a problem with my infusion set, so I changed that yesterday and that did help but then the same thing happened today, just trying to wait it out and see? I bolused 15 min before I ate like usual and then checked it an hour post meal and it was 145, and it is usually about 90, after eating the same breakfast, I know some insulin is working because if not my sugars would be a lot higher than that, and now I just checked it again and 158??? I already took a bolus to correct and still not coming down, just took another one and I just dont know if it is another site issue or am I having insulin resistance?
It could be that you still have enough hormones in your system to be affecting your numbers. I would expect them to get back to normal in maybe another week - or it might not be normal again until you’ve had another period? Not sure.
May be a site issue…if not then I would suspect hormones as Julie said. Give it a week or two and if they do not start coming down I would call your endo.
I agree- I think it’s the hormones. Your body probably still thinks it’s pregnant. Have you taken a pregnancy test to see if you’ve gotten a negative yet? Your body believes it’s pregnant as long as your HCG levels are still high. If you get a negative pregnancy test, then that means your HCG levels are back to “normal.”
Has your insulin resistant gotten any better? I just had/ am having a miscarriage and usually with my period my blood digest drop. But I am still taking my new carb ratio (twice as mug insulin per carb as before) and my sugar are.hovering at 110-130
I am so so sorry that you are experiencing this too mhynes If you need to talk at all you can talk to me, my heart goes out to you as I know what you are feeling and going through
It is one of the worst feelings in the world, and it is just so crazy how common it is
I know that if we just continue to work hard we will be mothers one day
Marps and Lil Mama, the sugars are slowly syarting to come down in the morning and be back to normal, I havent taken a pregnancy test, and I really dont think I plan to, just because it would be so so hard to see negative or positive so I think I’m just gonna wait it out, I think I would just end up crying through the whole process and even buying it would be difficult for me
Mariah- I feel for you. I remember buying the preg test while waiting out the m/c. It was, indeed, very difficult. I was shaking while I checked out and then when I saw the negative, my heart sank. I burst into tears, then smoked a whole pack of cigarettes in the dark (it was nighttime) and just sat there in silence. But, I knew that I needed that step to begin trying again. At least that way, I didn’t have to keep going in to see the doctors and the receptionists and seeing their pitying (or not-so-pitying) faces to get my HCG results pulled. I took the negative as a sign of my first baby’s passing- being ready to try for baby #2.
I’m sending you some strength to get through this. You can do it.
