Gah, I'm awake. I was up at 8am yesterday and felt tired so went to bed before midnight. I recall still being awake at 2am and just now I woke up at 6.57am. I had been thinking my change of routine would help with the insomnia, but seems it was just waiting for an opportunity to kick me. The pain in my side doesn't help, it's painful to turn over in bed so that probably had a part to play in waking me up. Wasn't going back to sleep so got up. Long day ahead but at least it's Friday. As for the pain and lack of sleep, I've had worse so fuck it and I'll dose up on anti inflammatories and stronger if it bothers me.

Frustrated and sick.
Frustrated with my blood sugar. My dr decreased my diabetes meds, but it is still dropping too low. May need another decrease. On the plus side of that one, I did get the Dexcom glucose monitor applied to myself and it is wonderful to not have finger sticks multiple times a day.
Worried about the mammogram I had done Thursday.
Too much medical stuff.
I still have headache and ear problems despite almost finishing a course of antibiotics.

Well, I'm not sure how I feel. I did manage to access the hospital's patient portal to see my tests results. The mammogram was normal (which is great), the dexa or bone density scan showed osteoporosis (which is not great). I don't understand all the numbers on the report, but I have an appointment with my doc on Monday, so I'll get that then, as well as whatever treatment she deems necessary.
Blood sugar is all over. My fancy dexcom monitor woke me from a sound sleep tonight with alerts to low sugar.Bit of a roller coaster there. I figure I'll be adjusting meds lower come Monday's appointment.
Moodwise, I have a friend coming to visit next week, so excited about that.
Just sort of a mixed bag of feelings right now.

Awake. 7am. Which is quite something as I broke my own record for shortest sleep last night. I went to bed and just lay down, drifted off no problem. 5 minutes later my brain/body decided it wanted the duvet over it, but it was all tangled up and I had to get up and make the bed before getting in it again. Took a time to get back off, thought I'd sleep through until the 11am alarm but nope, wide awake early for another day in a row. My side pain is not helping as it wakes me up if I happen to turn in my sleep. I had some vivid dreams.
i started the dexcom 7 a few months ago and it's a game changer. i have the opposite problem, i have high blood glucose. i used to have a hard time keeping them on. now i use a pre adhesive spray and 2 overpatches. 1 hint, if you have to remove an overpatch keep one finger on the device so it doesn't come out. also every once in a while do a finger prick and calibrate it
