Crazy Lows :(

Oops, I forgot to post this....

Last Wednesday and Thursday were a bit of a nightmare thanks to my blood glucose going low A LOT.

On Wednesday, I walked to work.  When I was just about at the parking lot, I felt the G4 buzz, giving me a low glucose warning.  I'm not sure what was going on, but it took almost an hour for me to get my blood sugar level back up to a comfortable level (and to feel better).  Later that day I went low two more times (when I got home during my dinner break, and later during the night), but both I was able to treat very quickly without any problem.

Then on Thursday, the lows continued.  I went low again when I got to work (but I was able to correct it much faster this time), and again when I got home during my dinner break (I think this one was also thanks to all the shovelling I had to do - again, treated it without a problem).  Then while back at work, I ate dinner around 6:30pm - my glucose was fine, and I knew the carbs.  But for some reason I went low within about a half hour, and couldn't bring my glucose back up no matter what I did!  I ended up eating an obscene amount of food (which included most of two 710 mL bottles of regular pop), and my glucose wasn't over 5 mmol/L until almost 10pm!  (Thankfully coworkers drove me home from work!)

So starting on Friday, I decided I was going to try to figure out what was going on.  Over the following six days, I did A LOT of glucose tests.  I fixed some areas where I was going low, and unexpectedly found a few others.  As of today (Feb 15th), I thought I had most of the problem areas ironed out, but then I unexpectedly went low at a few other times today.  So it's still a work in progress, but I'm not doing as many tests right now because I need a break and wanted to actually go out skiing and snowshoeing this weekend.  I'm going out skiing tonight because I want to see what exactly happens (and I currently have the Dexcom G4 sensor to help me out).  So we'll see how things go....
