Kind of afraid to go to sleep tonight, but I'm tired...

11. Thank you, everyone, for your support. I checked through the night and by 4am I was down to 128

so I figured I didn't need to worry beyond that point. It seems like my body does it's own thing despite my meds, but I keep an eye on it. Exercise seems to have the strongest effect despite my meds, which I guess is a good thing. The onl thing is that I'm not fond of it I'm a web developer working from home so not much movement in my job, but no excuse not to exercise. I spent 3 years going to a gym 2x/wk but they changed the hours to only be open during work. I recently set up an exercise plan on the NetDiary app, and have starting easing into that. Six months away from regular exercise because I slacked off from a home program and I can really tell a huge difference in mobility, range of motion, and numbers.

AverageOldGuy, I have a future DIL who has a hard time keeping her numbers in line even with a CGM and insulin pump. Her alarm goes off frequently and she has to make sure she has something with her at all times. She also has it set so her alarm notifies both my son and her mother as well.

We were down at Disney last year and I received a call from our county police dept saying my brother had been in an accident on I-95 (single car into the guardrail, car damage and some bruises/scratches). The officer was calling me to see if he had any medical conditions that could have affected him because he seemed to be slurring his speech. He has T2 diabetes and COPD. When the paramedics got there, they tested him and found his glucose was down to 38 so he had a few nights stay in the hospital. He was overmedicating. He had lost over 60 lbs and hadn't been back to the dr. to have his meds adjusted in over a year. He was still taking 2 types of insulin and metformin and not testing his glucose levels. At his last drs appointment, he's totally off all of his diabetes meds and just being monitored. I bought him a tester and am keeping him supplied with strips. His dr. wouldn't prescribe anything other than a CGM and my brother totally refused that so he hadn't been testing at all.
