The Nurse, snowmobiling, and dating… oh boy!
Stephanie,
You handled the nurse like a pro, excellent job, hand her to the folks who adjust the dosages and let them chatter together.
Talk to the other mother of the other diabetic child in school. She’s had the problems you have. Talk with HER!! You two have a built in support group right there… and may or may not have had the same run ins. The nurse seems to mean well and seems to be asking all the right questions IMHO but her timing is idiotic and her APPROACH to badgering you… well that demands a firing squad. Anybody on the list want to join <evil grin
All you’re trying for now, is getting some basic stability…. that’s it. Multiple injections are an extremely new phenomina <sp.?

With an elephant syringe silly
What articles of clothing could you peel back/puncture through the most easily?
Strangers, Dating, Etc.:
Lets see…
When you want to tell someone, then do…. NOT before… period.
[Note: None of the below is true if anyone is wondering….] however consider meeting someone for the first time, or a relatively unfamiliar person and saying to them “…Hey, hi I’m XXXXXX and I have syphyllis <sp.?
No, when you are comfortable, and want to tell them, as to who and what you are then you do. Now in terms of roomates, they deserve to know. Folks you are physically intimate with… them too. Anybody else you can keep at arms length or as close as you wish. It also includes your parents, if you choose/need to do that as well…..
You let someone in when you are ready. Its called trust…. you don’t have to let anybody in until you want to…. its yours.

Don’t know if the highs are due to the pen….I’ve been doing the pen for a couple of years & not had that issue. My endo recently had me adjust my insulin to carb ratio for the meals I am high after. Are your highs coming before dinner or at bedtime? Maybe you need a little more insulin per carb for the last meal before the test? Just a thought.

As long as we are just ratteling, I have had some consistant 350ish at night. I am thinking it is the insulin pen I am using. There is no real way to be sure you injected the stuff. But its working real good right now, as I am L…O…W, and fighting to get back up as we speak.
