I have been for #diabetic eye-screening and everything now has blurry edges

I think my bizarre spell of #insulin resistance may be over πŸ€žβ€¦ scaled my pump profile back to normal this afternoon as I worked in the yard and I have been smooth sailing. No ketones this morning either.

Been hovering ~70 mg/dL for about 2 hours, would love for that to come up so I could, I don’t know, go outside and do something - anything - on this gorgeous day. πŸ™„

Over a gallon of water through my system today, still a trace of ketones. We’ll see how things look in the AM πŸ™„

Moderate ketones this morning. Ugh.

Today I drink ALL the water.

New site βœ…
New cartridge βœ…
New insulin vial (even new lot) βœ…

If this shit doesn’t do it, I’m just gonna chug water tomorrow until it comes out my ears.

Usually when I play soccer in the evenings, I turn β€œexercise” mode on my pump & reduce my basal rate to 40%.

Tonight I increased my basal to 200%, no exercise mode, 50% stronger correction factor, and a temporary basal rate of 150% (so total basal rate of 300%). Despite playing nearly the whole game, I hovered around 210 mg/dL.

Wild.

My BG over the last 48h is reminiscent of when I last took a prescription steroid. I am pumping in 200% my basal rate with a 1.5 multiplier on my correction factor, and I am *still* struggling to stay in range.

Am I sleep juicing? πŸ€”πŸ’ͺ
