Ah. At least everything went alright?
After a few hours, yeah, managed to get things back in check, but I'm feeling it today!
 
I don't suppose it was that tooth?
This time, no, it wasn't. I had a bad infusion set that I changed, I noticed my blood sugars spike (they normally sit around 70-120 mg/dL, they were at about 190/200), but after the change they kept going up, 260, 320, and I kept feeling worse and worse. Eventually I peaked at 380 mg/dL, a level that usually puts you in the hospital, lol, but I somehow managed to generate enough energy to change my infusion set again, get some insulin into my body and after maybe 45 minutes my sugars started to come down. The hectic nature of going on that yo-yo of going up and then down so rapidly really did a number on me, though, and I've spent most of today just feeling awful.

Oh noes.... :hug:
Diabetes can be an absolute bitch to deal with; my dad had Type 2 (sugar) diabetes and while he kept it in check for most of his life w/diet and Metformin, he was miserable about it at times.... :(

Yeah, when it's out of control it's no fun at all!!

Just binge-watch wrestling when things go hayward; that's what keeps me at times on an even keel.
 
Queen Elizabeth was born in April, our Neb. Even I know that.
 
♫ Does he love me I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no! You'll be deceived
Is it in his sighs?
Oh no! He'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is ♫

Sing it, Cher!
 
Damn, if I had known September 2nd was pierce your ears day, I would've added to the collection. Oh well.
