Early Morning Wake Up & DEXCOM (Morning Wake Up & DEXCOM temprano)

Wow! What a way to wake up in the very early morning hours! Today, at 4:40 am USA time, my DEXCOM started alarming and woke me up. When I got up, I was in the low to mid-70's! For me, that isn't good since I had gone to bed around 11 pm being 240-250 on the DEXCOM. It's very hard to believe that I could drop that much while sleeping, but I chalk it up to the pancreas had "woken up". It's not the first time this type of thing has happened. I can sometimes go for a few days with unexplained numbers being lower than normal and then, the pancreas can "go back to sleep" for another few days or weeks at a time. Bad part, you never know when it's going to wake up or go back to sleep. It's another good reason to have the DEXCOM.

¡Wow! ¡Qué manera de despertarse muy temprano por las horas de mañana! Hoy, a las 4:40 tiempo de los EE. UU, mi DEXCOM comenzó alarmante y me despertó. ¡Cuando desperté, estaba en el nivel más bajo a mediados de los años 70! Para mí, que no estoy bien ya que me había acostado a eso de las 23:00 siendo 240-250 en el DEXCOM. Es muy difícil creer que me podría caer tan mucho durmiendo, pero lo escribo con tiza hasta el páncreas se había "despertado". No es la primera vez que este tipo de la cosa ha pasado. Puedo ir a veces durante unos días con números inexplicados siendo más bajos que normal y luego, el páncreas puede "volver para dormir" para el otro pocos días o semanas a la vez. Parte mala, nunca sabe cuando va a despertarse o volver para dormir. Es otra buena razón para tener el DEXCOM.

When I had first started typing this posting, the DEXCOM's receiver had NOT been reporting any numbers since dinner started tonight. The numbers just came back, now and I was able to do a calibration a few minutes ago (I had to take a mini break from typing!). I'm hoping to get a few good days out of this sensor that was just put in on Tuesday evening. I was so close to having to pick up the phone and calling DEXCOM for another new free sensor. The one that's been ordered for free is coming next Tuesday before the end of the day. This is what I had been told by e-mail from FedEx. We'll see what time it does show up. I hope it comes after I get back from work so the box can be brought inside and not have the sensor get cold. The temperature can cause issues for the sensors sometimes.

Cuando había comenzado primero a escribir a máquina esta fijación, el receptor del DEXCOM no había estado relatando ningún número ya que la comida comenzó esta noche. Los números sólo volvieron, ahora y era capaz de hacer una calibración hace unos minutos (¡tuve que tomar una ruptura mini de la mecanografía!). Espero conseguir unos viajes de un día buenos de este sensor que se puso sólo en el martes por la tarde. Estaba así cerca de la necesidad de recoger el teléfono y vocación DEXCOM para otro nuevo sensor libre. El que que esto se ha pedido gratis viene el próximo martes antes del final del día. Esto es lo que me había dicho el correo electrónico de FedEx. Veremos a que hora realmente se revela. Espero que venga después de que regreso del trabajo por tanto la caja se puede traer dentro y no tener el sensor hacen frío. La temperatura puede causar cuestiones para los sensores a veces.

Speaking of the DEXCOM, I'm working really hard on getting ready for the lecture that's going to be taking place at my Senior Center on October 18th-- a Tuesday. A Represenative from the Silver Spring, MD location for DEXCOM will be coming that day to talk with the Seniors about the system and how they can get their own. The lecture is at 11 am and I'm going to be actually part of the lecture. I still have to put the last finishing touches on a few things for that day, but everything is basically ready and finished! The lecture will be taking place on the second floor and in the Social Hall A room. This is better instead of the Lounge area because there will also be food brought in for the rest of the group. I'll try to get someone to help me with the translation. Will let you know how things go when I can.

Hablando del DEXCOM, trabajo realmente con fuerza en la preparación para la conferencia esto va a ocurrir en mi Centro Mayor el 18 de octubre - un martes. Un Represenative a partir de la Primavera de Plata, la ubicación de Maryland para DEXCOM vendrá ese día para hablar con los Mayores del sistema y cómo pueden conseguir su propio. La conferencia es a las 11:00 y voy a ser realmente la parte de la conferencia. ¡Todavía tengo que poner los últimos últimos toques sobre unas cosas para ese día, pero todo está básicamente listo y terminado! La conferencia ocurrirá en el primer piso y en el Pasillo Social Un cuarto. Esto es mejor en vez del área del Salón porque también habrá comida traída para el resto del grupo. Trataré de conseguir que alguien me ayude con la traducción. Le avisará cómo las cosas van cuando puedo.

I know you are so excited to host DEXCOM for the seniors at the center. They could use this greatly. Once again sorry your DEXCOM has been giving you issues and your numbers. My husband said just today he could not live with this disease as you describe the sleeping pancreas then it wakes up without notice. The roll a coaster we live. I can live steady for a few days but have terrible morning lows, even taking my long acting at the noon meal. Changed when I changed Endos. even decreased the amount but some days it would cause highs at night and the alarm going off then injecting to get below 200. Meaning judge careful. Husband very supportive.

Best wishes on the 18th. Sure it will be fantastic. You have put a lot of planning into the program.
