Low

Whispering in my Ear

March 22, 2013 By Scott K. Johnson 28 Comments

It's hard to explain how badly my confidence was shaken after that bad low on Christmas Eve. I went from a lifetime low A1C of 6.9 in November, to a two-year high of 8.0 in February. Scared? Yeah. Running high? You bet. That low totally rocked my world, and it's going to take some time to recover from it. It didn't catch me off-guard.

Confessions: Late Night Low

October 12, 2011 By Scott K. Johnson 9 Comments

April 13, 2010 By Scott K. Johnson 15 Comments

A while back I wrote about a fight I had with a can of tomato soup (which I lost...).  Tonight I had a similar experience with my dinner. I took a shot of symlin then put together my meal.  I programmed my meal bolus to be spread out over 90 minutes (because of the symlin), then sat down to eat. As I got to the last part of my meal, I just didn't want to eat anymore.  I … [Read more...] about Screw It! I’ll Just Eat The Rest…
