It has been a while since my last post and it is time to catch up on details. My husband got sick so I was busy tending to him and often forgetting to watch my numbers and not jogging, not good. Needless to say I ended up sick too. We kept the toddler healthy for the most part, thank God.
While I was sick I almost felt cured from diabetes. It was the oddest thing. My basals kept me in line for the first day, but then not being able to eat or drink much brought on some major lows. My wonderful husband finally convinced me to drink some regular Gatorade (A BIG THANK YOU to him for that) and I was able to avoid having to visit the local ER. For days (like 5 days) after I started to feel better my readings were still very low. No matter what I ate (no boluses) I was in the 60s or 70s and if I was late eating I was in the 30s or 40s.
Drastically one afternoon my body returned to normal with no warnings and I had the enevitable high.
What is the reason behind this? Why do our bodies act so strangely. It was nice to have a chance to eat anything I want, but why and how does this happen? Does this happen to anyone else?
