    220......I've been away for a while obviously seeing that number. Thought I had it all under control and then stopped testing because I "knew" what I was doing. Nothing like a hospital visit with your sugar over 400 to fix that!

    I stopped testing, too. =/ Mine was 190 this morning.

    69...way too low. Took 2 glucose tabs (taste like sweet tarts)...up to 124

    69 too low? Hmm. I'm regularly in the 60s, never been a problem.

    If you felt crummy, it may have been due to a large post-insulin BG drop; but you'll get that dialed in working with your new endo!

    Back in my more reckless days. I had a very friendly meter
    often in the morning it just said "Hi" to me :/
    I've been at this so long I don't feel highs or lows anymore.

    I was way shakey...and im just not used to it being that low. With my pancreas issues I'm not supposed to have my numbers below 95 or 100 per my gastroenterologist.

    Seems like your pancreas would be under more stress the higher your BG....?? If your GI is trying to guard against hypos, you might want to verify that your endo is on board with such a high bottom end of your glucose range. (Lots of things to balance, and different docs may have different priorities.)

    The GI told me I could have problems if I go too high or too low. Endo hasn't given me targets yet but know about my health issues. Speaking of which endo is ordering more tests: calcium, ultrasound on my thyroid and 24 hour urine.....

    I like the fact that your endo seems bound and determined to get a complete picture of what's going on. Yippee!
