Insulin

I have finally given in. I don't understand why even if I eat the same foods in the same amounts, my sugar keeps on fluctuating. I guess it's really time to take a little dose of insulin for my baby.

Insulin: A natural hormone made by the pancreas that controls the level of the sugar glucose in the blood. Insulin permits cells to use glucose for energy. Cells cannot utilize glucose without insulin.

Diabetes: The failure to make insulin or to respond to it constitutes diabetes mellitus. Insulin is made specifically by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. If the beta cells degenerate so the body cannot make enough insulin on its own, type I diabetes results. A person with this type of diabetes must inject exogenous insulin (insulin from sources outside the body).

Yesterday, I have started monitoring my sugar every meal using my own glucometer. hehe. And this morning I have stated using ballpen type insulin. I think I messed with my first shot. hehe. It's ok, my sugar level is still within limits. hehe
