51. Just did that double as a fellow Type 1

May 17

I just mixed the Gavalyte w lemonaid koolaid. I take lantus and just chased the spikes w short acting. I use the libre sensors and a third party phone app Juggluco. It was annoying when my sugar dropped pre procedure and instead of a few sugar packs (like for coffee) they went through a whole call the Dr routine. The rec I read was just use small portions of sugar to nudge back up. I use a syringe rather than a pen as I can really fine tune the dose to a fraction of a unit. Propofol is what they gave me, sedation isn't recomended for endoscopy as it is more traumatic if you're not out enough.
