Hospital Visit and Vacation

ConleighS

So today I had a 2cm /1/2 inch benign tumor from my thyroid. I was NPO from 9PM last night to about noon today. I haven't had any diabetes meds since yesterday (Dr order). My numbers today were 123, 97, 143 and 170 per the hospital one touch. When they took the 143 number before dinner MY one touch ultra read 243! I know between surgery and meds and stress it messes with the levels. They did have me on a sliding scale for Humolog so was finally given a dose before my one meal around 8PM tonight was part of a cold chicken breast and some mixed veggies. I am allowed my Levemir before bed so we will see what tomorrow brings...

And now about Vacation. On Sunday we leave for Florida and a 4day Bahamas cruise. There will be lots of walking good food. I am going to best to watch what I eat...wish me luck. I won't be logging the week I am gone, so I will lose my days in a row count (bummed)

Correction no Levemir either....219 is my reading

Gosh, it seems like they would adjust your insulin! My surgeon demanded that they keep my levels under 200.

Have fun on your vacation! I'm glad your surgery went okay.

Thanks Rhedd, no such orders. They had a sliding scale that started at 150 (mine from my endo starts at 121)

I hope your recovery goes well. Have a nice trip!

Thanks all. I am definitely sore and have neck pain. Hopefully that will pass. I am now able to get back on my meds, which is good because my pre dinner number is 343 (took 7 units) . Hoping by tomorrow i can get my numbers back down. I'll be posting thru this weekend.

Well, my lack of control during my vacation did not go unnoticed by my body. My numbers ranged from low hundreds in the am to the mid 200s by evening. I gained 4lbs on vacation but lost 8 and half inches doing an Ionetherme spa treatment. Back at it tomorrow....
