Hello everyone, so I have an update after my appointment in Chicago today. I got the Dexcom with enough sensors to last me for a month. I already love the fact that I can look at my Apple Watch face and see my blood glucose reading on my watch. It is definitely going to be very helpful. Went to Chick-fil-A and had some chicken nuggets some waffle fries and a milkshake chocolate with whip cream and a strawberry on top. I ate most of the fries the chicken nuggets and drink some of the shake. I was not feeling the best afterwards, but it was worth it! It’s the only time I get to go to that restaurant. 🙂 This morning, when we went to the hospital, my driver dropped me off at the wrong medical specialty place. I was supposed to go to the infusion clinic to get my blood drawn because I have a port and the phlebotomist at the lab cannot draw my blood from my port. He ended up dropping me off at the endocrinology clinic where I was supposed to get my injection after they draw my cortisol levels. I was stressing out because it was getting close to 9 AM and I was supposed to have the blood drawn at 8 AM, but we did not get there until 8:15 AM because of traffic. Well, ended up getting the blood drawn and you got the injection of the medication and then they brought the deccom into me and I applied my first sensor on my own. Think I will be having my nurse change the sensor for me though. Sara, do you have any tips for using the Dexcom? I set my low alerts to 70 but think I will raise that up to 75 so I can treat before it gets too low. They are trying to get this approved through Dexcom‘s compassionate use program. My doctors can see my data. After eating the Chick-fil-A, my blood sugar went up to 171. Lol guess my stomach kind of decided to work, not really though. Lol it’s like it shot up from 1:15 to 171 in like 15 minutes. This will be a life changer and I’m hoping I can get it approved. Thank you for reading and hope you all have a wonderful evening.
