Last Dr.'s appointment, my doctor lowered my insulin ratio. So, I thought YAY. My sensors kept acting up though. They kept losing the signal and wouldn't scan. When I called ABBOTT for help, it turns out the sensors aren't compatible with Apple Iphone 7. Something must have changed when I updated the software.
Sooo, they sent me a new sensor, and the reader. Then my phone died completely. I bought a new phone, but still use the reader until this sensor has to be changed.
All that to say, I felt unsettled. My readings were unexpectedly high. Sometimes, when I expected it to be high, lo and behold it was normal or low. I even did finger pricks to double check. I went back to my original insulin ratio because I wasn't happy with the results I was getting. I have been told that because of the damage to my pancreas, and that diabetes is progressive, I may have to deal with a higher A1C. It's been 11 years since a surgery error wrecked my pancreas, so maybe I should have expected it. Every pancreatitis attack causes more damage to my pancreas to the point I'm not sure if there's any left that's working.
So, I had my A1C yesterday. I am very upset, 7.6%. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. I have been exercising more since the weather has turned to fall temperatures. I either walk in the forest, or go for a bike ride.
I AM going to get this down again if it kills me! Whining over.
