Between the two days without exercising, the 5 days of not controlling my eating, a slight infection from the broken tooth, and the lack of tight control because the Treo wasn’t working, my insulin resistance has obviously increased. At least obviously to me.
So, being the anal computer junkie I am, I downloaded the TDI (Total Daily Insulin usage) from my pump and plugged the last fourteen days into a spreadsheet I’ve designed from the charts in the “Pumping Insulin” book by John Walsh.
I took the resulting carb to insulin ratio and correction ratio and plugged those numbers into my Palm pilot’s EzManagter program.
(Note: yes, I know I’m a geek)
There was a massive change, so I grabbed my glucowatch and slapped it on my wrist — by the way, this time I’m using IV Prep — which is slightly tacky with the Cortozone spray and the burning sensation is very mild.
The glucowatch is showing trends similar to what I am seeing with my blood sugar monitor. I have done a couple of extra calibrations, to ensure that.
Nice to have the technology working with me.
