  • Day 2

    Blood sugar was 110 this morning. Did 60 grams of carb with 20 units of Symlin and bolused for 30.

    I did not check before my run but was 157 after which is great. I handled well and we got our 3rd Q and 3rd first place in a row. I finished her title and she is now Bettner’s Byte of Magic, AXP AJP OA OAP CGC

    I am very happy with my day so far. I have 3 runs to go!

  • Today was a success

    I left the trial with a blood sugar of 105. It was 110 when I got home and ate, about an hour later.

    But better than that, we took 2 1st places and had two perfect runs. When I get the videos back, I’ll post a link to them (I’ll put them on the Photo album site).

    People were talking about how much weight I’ve lost, how much better I run, and how good Marcie ran. It was VERY VERY NICE!

  • 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.
