I really wish I knew why I got screwed up this morning. The good news, is that recovery has been real fast. The day ended up being a bit weird.

I “forgot” it was Monday and that I needed to pick up food. So I got home, messed around, gave myself some Symlin, with the intent of eating in half an hour.

Husband got home, after a short “just got home” discussion, I said, I’m going down to eat — oh my gosh, I forgot to get food. He offered, but didn’t want to do it in 5:00 pm traffic, but I forgot, and needed something to eat and didn’t have anything but breakfast, so got in the car, went to McD’s and got a Quarterpounder, and then got dinner.

So then I couldn’t really eat dinner until two hours after, as I’m not sure how to dose with the Symlin if I stacked, so I ate my dinner at 7:00.

I’m still way under my normal calorie count though, it’s just that I’m probably going to be up with GERD because I ate dinner so late. And I have 70 minutes to look forward to tomorrow, and there NO way I’m getting all that walking in before I got to school. Hoping to get in 30 minutes though.

I’ve got a REAL problem. If my blood sugar is off, especially high, I get SICK. Today, I hit 240 when I tested, and was nauseus, headachy, bitchy, and my vision was blurred.

I’m not sure why. My blood sugar always elevates when I have to sit still and we were doing that. Also, I get hit with the problem person from last year almost first thing. She’s good at that.

I thought it was the set but I corrected and then changed out the set and the blood sugar went down.

The good news, is that my CDE was responsive, and she helped. I had my temporary basal set to 40% and she had me change to 50% and I stayed stable all afternoon. I hate to think how much insulin I did today with no food. I’m sure it was enough to gain weight.

If I have to do that, I wish I would at least would have been able to eat something good.

I go back to work today 🙁 Hasn’t seemed like much summer.

Since the next two days should be sit in one place and listen, I’ve upped my temp basal to +40% and also changing my bolus reminder to an hour after (instead of 2 hours after). A trick I use with my Animas, and just did — I will bolus with a 0.0 amount. That turns on the reminder.

I’m trying to decide if I want to chance the food they are providing — letter said “light breakfast”, or what I want to get on the way. What I get for breakfast determines whether I need a Symlin shot.

Decisions!

I did get on the treadmill this morning and do 25 minutes. That’s a goal for me right now, is to try to do at least 25 minutes every morning and then finish in the evening — though today’s schedule is just 25 minutes. Tomorrow on the other hand is 70!

I just got my grades back from one of the classes I am taking this summer. I got a 31 out of 31 on my research paper. I worked on that sucker ALL summer, so I am extremely pleased with the grade.

That means I have a 97.5 in that class.

I won’t know about the other class until probably the end of the week, since we have one major and one minor assignment due tomorrow at noon.
