T1D+College+Pneumonia=

Quite honestly I believe the dates of my last post tells much of what I've been up to . . . 

a lot. 

I just got off of college for spring break this past Friday! Frankly, I'm not sure how much more of college I could have survived.

I definitely feel that I am learning!

College is crazy, college with night college is crazier, college with night college with Type One Diabetes is . . . you get the idea! :)

As for recent blood sugars, I feel the below photo does a stellar job of depicting how I feel!

 

 Last week I was put on antibiotics for Pneumonia. Supposedly I was to be a "picture of health" by Wednesday- which didn't happen.

As I write this blog post my blood sugar is 460. Haven't eaten much today and I've given crazy amounts of insulin . . . through rotating insulin injections and boluses, one would think that my numbers would stabilize. I have yet to see a number under 300.

Though you may be worried (as I was), my doctor found out that the steroids I was taking were responsible for the "high trend".

Hopefully these drugs will wear off soon, and I will be able to see a break from these highs.
(See what I did there)

I'll be doing a "deeper" post later on in the week- once I can think and finish schoolwork! 


P.S.- If you're still trying to figure out my "joke", it's okay . . . probably just my blood sugar.
