Chronic illness

I have been trying to get my type 1 diabetes on track again. After 38 years of injecting insulin? It surprises me that i still need help with this. I’ve been lucky. Using what i would call loose control, i’ve managed to avoid complications so far. But for the last two months, i’ve been trying to get aligned with a new diabetes support team. Endless food journaling, finger stick blood sugars, insulin calculations. I thought i was learning and doing better. But my team took the reigns from me on decision making. And as soon as they did? I lost control of my blood sugars again.

So who exactly is the expert here? The guy who has kept himself alive for 38 years? Or younger people than me that have less or zero direct experience managing insulin diet and blood sugars? I am trying to keep an open mind. But having watched my sugars my whole life? I think i know how i respond to the insulin better than they do...

The first pic shows the first half a day on their new dosing. The second is how i performed with my dosing. And the third shows how whacked their recommendations are after 24 hrs.

I’m trying hard i really am.  But i’m a phd scientist.  And basically we are looking at the same data with a critical eye.  And they don’t agree with my recomendations after i’ve carefully observed how i respond to carbs and insulin over the past 10 days.  Now?  Following their recommendations?  My blood sugar all of a sudden is sky high.  And using their dosing?  I’m not able to bring it down.  I don’t like this lack of control, it is dangerous for my health.  I love experimenting on myself.  But i do not like being experimented on by someone who is not paying as much attention as i am.

Ironically i am doing great on their recommendations.  The first night was tough.  But the next day pretty damn good.  They were off on one of the calculations, but every test is a learning experience.  It is quite fun to watch the biology.  Experiment with doses.  I am just a control freak i guess, and i realized recently that every time i look at one of my blood sugar tests?  I judge myself.  The only way out is to separate emotion from the anticipation of the test result.  Detach.  Imagine it is someone else’s reading.  And respond appropriately as objectively as you can.
