I've been having some pretty consecutive lows lately. I need to call the Diabetic educator, have labs done and call my PCP so that my medical team is on board with what's going on.
"It seems the longer I eat plant-based and train, the lower my blood sugars go. 70 this morning and 65 a half an hour ago. Of course 80 is normal so these numbers are pretty low. After taking my emergency stash of glucose tabs, I've come to the conclusion that I'm done with the specialist and it's time to come off the insulin pump.
I'm making an appointment with my wonderful PCP to move back to oral meds to help me process the insulin my body produces and maybe for the time being a long lasting insulin to keep sugars level. I think I've hit a goal!
While I'm a bit hesitant to say this, I'm almost in tears to think that I will no longer be wearing my "tail" the insulin pump that hides or drags around with me.
Please pray that the Dr. appointment goes well and that my body will take to the new oral meds prescribed. It's going to take a little bit of trial and error which scares me, but the more I focus on nutrition and exercise, the more likely it will be that I may reverse my type II diabetes altogether. I praise God for every milestone and pray for wisdom and guidance from my GREATEST Physician".

UPDATE:
Holy Cats! The Diabetic Educator cut my long lasting insulin rate on my pump from 3.40 at midnight at 3.30 until 3am and 8am until midnight 3.45 to 1.0 from midnight to 9am and from 9am to midnight 2.0. My blood sugar STILL just came out at 82 AFTER lunch. That's normal but shows that the insulin has been pushing me under. We'll see how the changes work over time but I wean off the insulin pump soon.
Another UPDATE May 1st: The Diabetic Educator says everything is level right now. She does want me to cut my basil (long lasting insulin) in half during my intense training sessions so I don't bottom out again. I see her at the end of the month when HOPEFULLY, we'll start getting off that pump. I'll keep an update when I see the PCP shortly!
