FINALLY I can get on the forum this morning!
😱 Couldn’t get on for hours since 4am & kept trying!
🙄
I’ve been up several times after little sleeps after eating & been swinging down low in the 4’s mostly, with 5’s twice & only once JUST hypo at 3.9! I’m still learning as my reactions to NR is still a bit odd & the 78 units of LR is the only thing that I’m sure of! Kept swing from high to low & testing a lot; sometimes only half an hour apart as the changes in BS can be as much as 6mmol in that half hour!
😱 I was back to normal doses of NR when I ate & I’m mostly in the 10’s with a few 11’s at the 90 minutes to 2 hours after eating mark but, then drop very fast after the 3/3.5 hours mark & in the 4’s by the 4 hour after mark where I’ve now learnt I start to move back up: ate oatcakes to start with until I nervously tried leaving it once & relieved to see it start climbing slowly half an hour later!
It’s like the goalposts have all been shifting & I’m having to learn how to respond to it & testing SO much my fingers are very tender!
🙄 But, I’m starting to see a pattern & getting the swings a bit less wide from 10’s to mid 4’s instead of 11’s to 4 at the start & once to 3.9! I’s almost like the swings I get with my few menopausal cycles now but, I’m not having one now OR maybe I’m about to start one; have to wait & see?
🙄
I’m not getting much sleep as I’m afraid of dropping too low & going hypo so, 2 or 3 hour naps!
Woke just now 09:53 BS 4.5 after eating about 5 hours ago when before eating was 04:22 BS 5.6 when finally had the confidence, or exhaustion, to sleep about 4 hours without any testing. As I now know it may swing down to the borderline around 4 hours before it starts rising slowly: NR is taking longer to start working 15’s after 1 hour, 11’s after 2 hours & then, hits very fast in the last 3 to 4 hours mark!
🙄 So, in light of that I’m now going to try a little less NR when I eat & as long as I don’t feel hypo will try to leave it until around 2.5 to 3 hours & hopefully end up in the 4.5, where I’m at now, to the 5’s range & out of the scraping the bottom range!
Oops! It took me SO long to type this it’s now 40 minutes late for LR so:-
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!
😉
And take my LR, pills & inhaler!
🙄
Still a bit frazzled but, beginning to get a clearer picture with a plan in mind!
🙄
Will catch up on this thread later!
