All this was put into perspective for me the other day: while spikes are rare for me (other than dawn phenomena), so I usually get more upset by them, the fact that I've been averaging about 65 lately is really more of a problem. It means that my usual insulin resistance is fluctuating...
Also, thanks for the information about the neurotransmitters effected by Effexor... I hadn't thought of a direct influence like that. That's probably very much involved.
The glucometer is fine, in fact it was just replaced and recalibrated and retested a couple of weeks ago. Part of this is that I'm seeing a diabetic now, who reminds me to check myself more frequently than I have been for a while. The wild swings that I've been having the last few weeks are new, but I'm probably more aware of them just because I'm checking rather than guessing...
So, now to go back to better self-care.
Tell me, though, what are you reading about a cure? (Not like it's of any interest to me, right?)
