🎶I've Got High Hopes...🎶

A bit disappointed with morning blood sugar numbers.
My diabetic educator says I shouldn't get hung up on them, because they level quickly and I am in range most of the day.
So trying to relax without relapsing back into bad habits.

I'm taking a higher dosage of Mounjaro and for the first time in my life I have to make myself eat.

I'm back to taking the short acting insulin before breakfast only 3 units.
This way I'm hoping not to spike up too high after eating breakfast.

The nausea was worse and lasted longer, this time, but it's starting to disappear now.

I'm hoping all that I'm doing will put me back on the road to good health.

I have had type 2 Diabetes for about 7 years now. It got out of control a few years ago and my new Consultant put me on insulin for a while. I was fitted with a Libre2 sensor to monitor myself in real time. When my blood sugars had stabilised she took me off the insulin and relied on oral medication only. At my last examination a couple of months ago, she reduced the dosage and signed me off back to my GP. She impressed on me that I shouldn't worry about spikes within a couple of hours of eating - as long as I'm basically in the range of 5 to 9 I needn't worry.

Good luck, @Justmeraeagain
