My Morning Blood Sugar

Why is it that I wake up with a great sugar reading in the morning, then my sugar shoots up a few hours later and does not come back down?  I like to think that I have good control over my JD, but obviously I don't.  I will wake up at 8am, test my sugar (100), then I will eat, do the correct amount of insulin for my food, then an hour to two hours later, my sugar will be 240.  >:-/ What happened to the insulin that I gave myself for the food?  Who knows.  This problem frustartes my everyday.  I took this problem up with my doctor (the one who has an attitue) and she acted as if she did not believe me or I was not telling her something.  I told her what she needed to know and she did not help me much-I mean she tried, but her advice did not work.  I tried raising my insulin formular for what I eat in the morning, but that caused my sugar to drop too low.  I also tried raising my automatic 'basal' rate in the early hours, but that did not work.  Ugh!  The problems!

What is my personal worry?

I do have a worry.  Secretly, I wonder if JD will shorten my life.  That is why I try to take as much control as possible when it come to my JD.  But, it is hard!  Sometimes things happen that I have no control over.  For example, when I am sick, my sugar is out of whack.  Will that affect my health in the future?  Yes, everything adds up.  I try to check my sugar as much as possible so that I could maintain some kind of balance, but my sugar still is of whack.  It frustrates me!

The other night around 8p.m., I had a dinner at Olive Garden (cannot resist!).  I had some bread sticks, chicken parmigiana,  and some salad.  I did the right amount of insulin for what I ate, had perfect sugar for about two hours, and then I went to sleep.  I wake up at 2 a.m. and my sugar is 380!!  What the.......??  I felt terrible and was so frustrated.  I did insulin to bring my sugar down, woke up an hour later, and my sugar was the same!  What happened to the insulin I just did?  WHO KNOWS...!  Eventually my sugar came down to a normal level, but it was so unnecessary.  I tried to rethink about what I ate that might have caused this spike in my sugar, but nothing I ate could have caused this.  Maybe a few bread sticks, but I always eat 'bread' and that does not happen.   

Frustration is all it is!  I just hope that I am okay for my future!
