Persistent Lows
Every time I turn around lately, I’m low. These are beyond my "discomfort" zone and into the "scary" zone. I’ve had three below 70 just today. One that woke me, shaking and sweaty, at 7 this morning. A 55 in the afternoon. And the most recent, a 69 that felt much lower.
I know the facts of diabetes: too much insulin equals lows, too little insulin equals highs. It’s not rocket science, really. But the frustrating part of these lows lately (pretty severe ones for the last two to three weeks) is that I’m lowering my insulin and I’m still seeing just as bad of lows. Nothing in my schedule or diet has changed, except that I’m exercising much less. I even had a urinary tract infection this past week.
