In 2012, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. It really was no big deal at the time, as it was not insulin-dependent and I was able to keep blood sugar levels well under control with minor dietary adjustments. Then in 2020, I had a very dangerous spike, like 15.4 #A1C and blood sugar levels of 584. I determined that this was mainly caused by my huge intake of GatorAde, which I had thought could help with my electrolytes. Once I corrected, I was able to get things back to a manageable level pretty quickly. This was also the time that the Libre censor entered my life. Things were mostly okay, until now. For the past while now my blood sugar levels have spiked, and nothing I’ve tried to bring it down has worked. My latest A1C is dramatically higher than the one six months ago. I’ve been dealing with this all day today. I have now been through the cycles of disbelief and rage, and I’m now working on acceptance. I have learned that it is possible for Type 2 to turn into Type 1, and based on what I see I strongly suspect that is what has happened. Almost certainly insulin is in my future, as the usual diabetes meds are too rich for my blood on my current Part D plan. I’ve grown to think this isn’t the end of the world. I’ve made lifestyle changes before, I can do it again. I can’t promise the rage won’t resurface at times, but now I’m reasonably certain all will be mostly well.
