@A myT1Dteam Member, I believe in the power of prayer. Praying for you as well 🙏🏾.
Sleep deprivation can cause glucose spikes and does create management issues. Please consult your health care teams and please be careful during the holidays. Nationally this period has the most diabetic related emergency room visits annually. Over consumption and under consumption and alcohol blocking glucagon creation in the liver are causes. Please enjoy the holidays but listen to your skill sets for prevention.
For pumpers, time change is a pain because you are changing your basal insulin times, but the body is used to the other. It takes me about 2 weeks to adjust and hard to get a good night's sleep for a while too.
Me too. Sometimes it catches up with me before I realize what's going on. Power of prayer has given me strength to push thru it. I will say an extra prayer for you
