Today is one reason. My blood sugar was fairly stable today. It was 180 post pranial (2 hours after meal), and I’m not sure if that was calculations, or what, but it certainly was better than last year at this time.
I will admit that last Monday-Wednesday, I went home and went to bed for at least an hours nap. But that’s pretty normal for most teachers. I’ve spent the summer doing summer teacher things, and they certainly aren’t as stressful nor do they take as much energy.
But tonight, I came home late after helping a new teacher, and needed dinner, but gee, it after 5:30 pm! and I had not eaten since 1:00 pm.
But today went well. I wasn’t too exhausted to deal with any students, though I admit I’ve paced myself a bit, and made sure that I wasn’t spending the WHOLE class period, all 6, on my feet helping students. I’ve got good assignments, occupying students most of the class period. Plus most of them can logon by themselves now, though I am getting a few new students each class period.
Also don’t feel the need to nap. So all and all, I’ve doing much better than this time last year. In fact, I’m about to go out and do a few errands.
