Diabetes victory of the week: None. Well, except maybe that I did finally figure out FOR SURE that the Dexcom sensor reading undercuts my postprandial peak by 30-50 mg/dL. I'm worried about how often it's giving me a reading that's so much lower than my blood sugar really is, but I'm glad that I figured it out. I'm thinking I'll go back to finger sticks for the duration of the pregnancy.
Diabetes failure of the week: None, really, except that now I feel insecure about my blood sugars being high all the time.
Mostly unfounded fear of the week: That we might have twins. I mean, I love the idea of getting two babies for the price of one pregnancy, but we are already so, so tired.
Mostly intangible joy of the week: Easter! Alleluia, Christ is risen! Victory over pain, death, diabetes, freaking out over my blood sugars, worrying about what my doctors will say about everything, and all that is real, even when it seems to just go on and on.
