  • Going MUCH Better

    Came out of the ring shaking after a fabulous run. Don’t know yet but I think I Qed.

    Blood sugar was 147 after.

  • Agility Basal Experiments II

    I have a 3 day trial this weekend starting in a few minutes. I turned on my Agility basal rate last night about 10:00 pm, had a high and treated it, and got up with a 101.

    Ate about 40 carbs for breakrfast and exercised without bolusing and then did a set change.

    First bad news, is that my set came off in the restroom at the show site so had to do a partial set change (set only)

    Ate 120 carbs at lunch did Symlin (20 units) and bolused for 60 carbs.

    An hour later, I’m at 157 o I am keeping a close watch on the blood sugar for the day.

  • I knew this all along

    Diabetes In Control – Daily Weighing Helps People Lose Weight, Prevents Gain

    Whenever I have successfully lost weight, I have been obsessive about weighing. I often weigh twice a day. I’m very realistic about it, and use it as a tool — if I am up a little, I think about what I did and how I could do differently. If I am down, I celebrate.

    In order to lose weight, I have to actively think about it all the time, or I end up gainning weight.

  • I am NOT having a good day

    It worked out okay though — went I went to the restroom here at school, I pulled off my set. It was very cold, and I knew my room was going to be cold so I went ahead and changed it there. I also did NOT want to do it in the restroom as it would take a while.

    Quite a few people walked in and out of the teacher’s lounge, but no one commented on what I was doing. I managed to get the set changed with no problem.

    That’s the second time I’ve done a set change in a public place without anyone really noticing. Of course, I inject that way all the time.

  • Argh continued

    My blood sugar is back where it should be this morning, so the corrections worked. I’d rather that the basal rate worked.

    Oh well.

    On another note, I did everything last night that i shouldn’t for the GERD and was up several times. You’d think I’d learn.

    DFW IUG Meeting tonight.

  • Argh! Diabetes is aggravating

    While my blood sugar has been good ALL day including this morning, I have had another one of my evening spikes. 245 this time. I’ve upped my 6:30 pm basal rate, and I’ll keep an eye on it.

    It’s even more frustrating, since I did my cardio and everything else!

  • Updates

    I’ve updated my Main Index and have put my links to my about page, hints, and rules back on top. Also have listed the mobile site link.

  • WAP Version

    I’ve created a WAP version — mobile phone version of my website. Mostly because I have a Treo, and it makes life easier to check on entries, and also because I can.

    Maggie did Q today and is not Maggie, NA, NAJ

    The best part, is that she had one of her panic attacks just as we were about to run Open, but she still ran well.
