And it sucks! I take Levemir, which is a long acting (24 hr) insulin. I usually take 15 units at night before bed. I am supposed to take it religiously at the same time every night, so with gettin' myself together I have been taking it at 10 pm every night. I even set an alarm to make sure I took it on time. While taking it at 10 pm I would wake up every morning between 4-6 am with a low blood sugar. Most usually around 6. The say it has no peak, but obviously there is a damn peak, I'm getting a low at the same time. I have been checking my blood sugar before going to bed as well, it's been around 130 to go to sleep. I played with the numbers of Levemir which would end up with HIGHS all day. So that didn't help either! The night is my biggest problem, and it always has been. I always seem to get low during the night, and we all know that usually results in passing out for me. I was told NOT to take Levemir in the day time. But, because I am grown, I'm going to. Today was the big switch. I knew it was going to suck so bad. Last night at 10 pm I took 8 units. This morning at 10 am I took 8 units. Tomorrow morning at 10 am I will take 15 units. Then I'll work my way up to taking it around 7 am, because I'll always be up for school at that time. But, the switch is hard. I'm tired, my blood sugars are high. I haven't ate much today. I knew it would be hard, but still, gah it sucks. I hope switching to a day time dose will be better so that way it peaks when I'm awake and can feel getting low.
Other non diabetic news: Ryan has been working his ass off lately. 65 hours last week. BOO!!! But, I also must say, thanks babe! For working hard for me! Shoe Sensation is begging me to come back. With no luck finding another job, it's looking like I'll go. Damn. That place has a DEATH grip on me! It just won't let me go! lol. Oh well, I won't be working that much due to my 40hrs a week at school starting March 1st. The ONE person I had a problem with there, is getting "looked at". She really is a brutal boss. Funny thing is, she's only 18. She's definitely on a power trip. Had it not been for losing my job, I totally would have showed her how us, Brown Countians, do things! LOL. But, I didn't break out my fists. Which shows that I am much, much more mature than her. I thought about it, but hey, I didn't ACT on it! lol. Let's hope I get someone who calls for a different place to work. That'd be nice!! Anyone know a way to lose 10lbs fast?! Nothing TOO unhealthy. lol.
I'll end with some photography shots I've taken! Just for fun!

I hope this switch makes things easier on you. I hate hearing about you having passed out the night before. I worry. Maybe I won't have to as much ;] lol
That's what I'm hoping too! Passing out makes me feel like Doug Grenier ran his entire fleet over me, a couple times. LMAO.
Love ya lady!
I was on Lantus for years (like Levemir) and it also is NOT supposed to have a peak - but it always does for me. I ended up taking it twice a day instead of once. I played around with nights and mornings as well but one always ended up with a high blood sugar all day or lows all night or or or. What worked best was a slightly larger dose in the mornings and a smaller dose at night. Worked out much better for me. (Of course I'm not a doctor so here's my disclaimer! haha!).
Also, I gave you an award on my blog! :)
Bee thanks for the award. That'll be my post for tomorrow! lol
And I took Lantus as well. After a year of taking it, it just stopped working for me. Which sucks. So I had to switch to Levemir. No one I know is on it, it's always Lantus. But, idk I guess it just didn't work for me.
I'll try the morning thing, I hope it works. I hate playing with numbers!!! It's so not me!! I like words. hate numbers! lol.
I hope the new routine gets settled and works for you. I can't imagine passing out at night!
Forgot to say I love the new name and blog look!
