That's the kind of day Jes is having.
Woke up 323. ??? Was 386 at 12:30, I corrected and hello why still there?
What'd we eat last night.....2 microwaved hot dogs and buns, 15 doritos, and a diet Brisk. Then she kept going low before bed, so gave her 4 oz juice, 158 then sleep. Shouldn't have made her THAT high and kept it in her after a correction.
Thinking maybe I should've changed her site last night instead of today. We usually can go 4 days with a site and not have issues. We put her site in Saturday night, so today would be day 4 and time to change. I really don't notice problems going that long.....maybe that's changing.
Whatever it is, it's proof that this disease is unpredictable. One day you think you got it, the next day it throws a loop. Even if the days are the same routines and food.
And for the record....I don't like loops.

I don't like loops either!! Jada just tested at !!422!! and I have NO idea why! grrr....
Oh geesh!! It seems like all of our little ones are fighting highs lately! I just got off the phone with Kacey's CDE this afternoon because Kacey called me from school in tears because she's been high all day and she said "Mommy I feel like poop but the other word!" LOL! Ummm...I'm guessing she felt like S@#^ LOL! Poor thing :( Seems like the Diabetes Demons are at it once again and they're rallying and making our little ones go high at the same time! We have no cause of the high's either. No sickness...other than the high making her feel grumpy, tired and hungry.
That's the thing that sucks about this disease...unpredictability.
She FINALLY broke the 300's...but after school...168. Now it's time for a bath, site change and church(don't get me started) so off to see what happens!
I've found that sometimes when Riley goes low or runs low for a while he will go high hours later. It's a rebound effect from where the liver kicked in glucose to help bring up the low. I've also found that when this is the case the highs are even more stubborn and take more insulin to bring them down. That doesn't mean it's what happened, but it's a possibility.
BTW, it doesn't happen every time he's low, only sometimes.
