Rollercoaster ride

I am still waiting on training for my CGM, had the thing for over 2 weeks and I literally had to call the gentleman that took my order to get someone to call me for it, who told me she would be out of town, but would contact someone else to come train me while she was gone.  That call never came.  My endocrinologist gave me the number of the senior territory manager out here, who I called to tell him the situation.  He explained that he was out of town at the same meeting, but would try to get someone for me, and if he couldn't, he'd personally come train me when he gets back on Friday.  It's now Thursday, this call was Tuesday.  As I've mentioned, I'm not exactly the most patient person, and I think in this situation, with the amount of time that has passed, I've been pretty darn patient.  I'm not usually one of those customers that complains, I have troubles sending food back when it's not to my liking (I went to Outback and had meat that was almost mooing, I pushed it aside and didn't eat it rather than telling them, I didn't want to seem difficult :P).  This time, it's warranted, food is one thing, but my health is quite another.
Last Saturday, my sugar spiked to 458, a number I've not seen or been close to since I went to the ER in October.  I corrected the number, and ate lunch, a few hours later, I was 394, I corrected that, an hour later, I was 148, worried I'd overdone the correction, I ate three glucose tabs(4 equals 15 carbs) and about 5 shocktarts (9 shocktarts is 15 carbs, per my ratio, 15 carbs = 1 unit of insulin and for every 50 points my sugar is above 135, I take 1 unit), I tested another hour later, I was 304, I won't do the math for my next correction, but it was definitely above 2 units.  I changed my infusion set the next day to see if maybe this was the problem and my sugars started sky rocketing again, not nearly as bad as the previous day, but anytime I'd eat, a few hours later, I was still above 200.

I got excited over this; to a diabetic, crazy blood sugars a few days before your Aunt Flo is due to visit usually means....pregnant.  I didn't want to get my hopes up though, but I tested the day I was due and it came back negative, and I was devastated, because this was the one month I'd actually believed we'd succeeded in our TTC efforts, I'd been ridiculously exhausted after 8 hours of sleep and I was using the bathroom more frequently, which can also be signs of high sugars, but after that one day, I was having normal readings too.
So I finally broke down and called my endocrinologist, my previous endo actually.  She informed me in April that she'd be moving out of her office and that they didn't want her telling her patients because they were afraid they would lose patients (ie-they'd lose $$$), but she told me because she didn't want me to get pregnant, then wind up without a doctor.  So when she didn't call back within a few hours, I called the endo that I'd chosen to go see next month for my 3 month checkup, they asked if I wanted to come in the next day (that's amazing!).
The doctor was baffled as to why my sugars were behaving this way, there's been no change in diet, the only thing I have changed, was where my infusion sets go:

For the last 9 years, my sets have been in my stomach, but since the CGM sensors HAVE to go in your stomach, I decided to start putting my insulin sets in my thigh, my endo assured me, that because of the fatty tissue (yay fat thighs!), having the sets here wouldn't be a problem.
I cited maybe hormones were to blame, my other guess, which I didn't share with him, was maybe my issues with depression.  I've been having a hard time with it lately and my counselor wants me back on meds and I did share that with him, but for now, we have no idea what's causing this.  I had to call him this morning because my sugar actually dropped to 36 last at 1 o'clock in the morning, and I over corrected with two juiceboxes, peanut butter and crackers to the point that at 6am, I was 230, then at 9am, I was 233 after corrected the previous high.  I changed my set at 10am, and at 11am, I was 242, so when he called, he just changed my basal rate again to go lower.
So I have a new endo that is awesome and aggressive about my treatment and getting my sugars under control, and most of my medical professionals (I say most because my GP is actually in the same office as my old endo, and the state of that office is the reason she's actually leaving, so I'm thinking about getting a new one) are really amazing doctors that know what they're doing!
