Finished Sensor 1

It lasted just under 3 weeks. I probably could have gotten it to last longer, but it was performing inaccurately that day and I was like screw this and yanked out the sensor. The target range set that the chart below gives is 70 as the bottom limit all the time, and 140 as the top from midnight until 6:30, 180 the upper limit from 6:30 until noon, and then 150 as the upper limit the rest of the day. I ran a lot more hypo the first week and had major problems with running high overnight the rest of the time.

Man, I am having fun with my little glukey. Who else thinks that I'm euglycemic almost all the time? I love that! According to glukey, the highest any of my meals has peaked at so far is 176, and the rest of the meals peaked below 150. YES!
I've had the sensor in my arm for just short of seventy-two hours now, and have been getting readings for the past 60. The rep said that I could try extending sensor life past each 3 day increment if the ISIG was above 5; so far it hasn't been below 8.7, and that's only when I'm hypo. The accuracy so far has been pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty darn good.

Here is a list of things I wish I could do with Glukey. Some of them might be features I just haven't located yet.
1. I want to reset the graphic so that the top of the screen is 200 rather than 315, so that I can see the slope more dramatically. I have yet to see a reading on here of 200, let alone 300, and I think that having the graph show my actual range is not a ridiculous request.
2. Show me what I've imputted for my meals and insulin. That would be so useful!
3. Let me upload the info onto my computer with a USB port. I don't seem to have whatever sort of outlet it is that goes with the cable that came with the comlink software, and neither does my dad's computer. That's a real bummer. If any of you have advise on how to find a computer to look at my data on, that would be helpful.
4.I want to be able to scroll back and look at the window that showed up 3 hours ago under the 3 hour graph. I want the 5minute by 5minute view of what happened after I fell asleep, not the 10minute by 10minute version.
5. Louder alarms. My first night with the sensors, I woke up at 3AM to a LO SG alarm. My accu-chek aviva confirmed that my blood sugar was 52. Scrolling back however, I saw that at 1 AM, my blood sugar'd been 40. Glukey apparently alarmed then too, but I didn't wake up.

Last night I ate supper and injected for it, around 1800 hours. At 2015 hours, I checked my blood sugar: it was 175. I took two units of Novolog and decided to take an extra five units of Lantus. I'm pretty sure I did. At 2223 hours, I was ready to go to sleep. I checked my blood sugar, expecting something between 100 and 200. My meter read 362. WTF?! I rechecked and it said 299, which was still way too high. I injected 5 units Novolog and set my alarm clock for 200 hours. I woke up about five minutes before the alarm would've gone off, checked my blood sugar at 160, injected 1.5 units Novolog- all by the light of my answering machine- and went back to sleep. In the morning I woke up with a blood sugar of 102. I think it's a little funy that a crappy night like that one is recorded as a success 'cause I woke up 102, but on the other hand I think I deserved it. I worked for that 102. Wish I knew what happened to make my blood sugar go so high.

My first sensor will be inserted tommorow night... wow.
