  • The last day

    I made it through the workshop. Blood sugar has been good and sleep hasn’t been bad.

    I was desperate for a protein based breakfast so walked to the Subway and discovered it was closed.

    However there was a restaurant. I managed to find a psuedo Egg Muffin it wasn’t as good.

    However I got a no delivery alarm after breakfast. I checked my set and I was actually disconnected and had been since I had disconnected to shower. The tube half of the set was just stuck in my underwear.

    I have never done that before and was thrilled to death that the pump was that smart.

    So I bolused again for my meal. A hour later my blood sugar was 140.

  • More reasons to hate workshops

    Organizers who schedule sessions from 8:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night.

    Presenters who take exciting topics and make them boring.

  • New Pump on Monday

    This will probably work out better but darn my husband! I told him last night that I was expecting a package but had puppy class so he’d have to listen for it.

    Well he apparently didn’t hear the doorbell OR the dogs and did not get it.

    I have told UPS to hold it and I’ll pick it Monday.

  • Waiting at the doctor’s office

    I just got to the sleep doctor, checked in and sat down when the nurse came out to the waiting room and announced the doctor was running behind.

    Frankly, and I told her, I appreciate knowing these things. My gynocolist used to have a board and a clock to tell patients when he was expected to be done with a delivery.

  • Macie!

    I have a new puppy — Tesoro’s Herald Square — Call name Macie to go with Marcie and Maggie.

    When Maggie finished her Open Agility JWW in the spring, I knew it was time to get a new dog. It will be at least two years before Macie is ready to compete. Marcie and Maggie will be 10 and 9 respectively, and I just don’t want to be without a competition dog.

    I will be trying out conformation with her.

  • Alarm

    As I suspected, the error code was not a big deal. Basically the tech uodated my records.

  • Bolus Problems Continued

    My blood sugar was 201, 2 hours after eating. I’ve called my Endo’s office to ask for assistance.

  • Here’s another “duh!”

    Diabetes In Control – Stable Glucose Improves Classroom Attention in Diabetes

    I can say with a bit of confidence that it will help Type 2 diabetics children too…..

    Okay, my sample size is small, but I know unstable blood glucose in me not only affects my classroom attention but my classroom performance too.

    Oh, I forgot, I’m the teacher — does it still count?

  • Spring Break

    I’m definately on Spring Break mentally.

    My blood sugar is doing well — I’ve been on my weekend basal, and I did drop my boluses. I’ve been careful to do about 15 minutes on the treadmill after each meal since my activity level is a bit down from not teaching.

    I’m going to see my endo today. The CDE wasn’t available, and I haven’t had someone else look at my logs for several months and I’ve made some interesting changes. I just want a trained medical professional to say I am on the right track.

    I also want to start losing weight again.

    I’m still waiting on the Protonix decision. It’s “in progress”. I am doing okay on one Protonix a day, but my coughing is pretty heavy in the evening. I am still waking up but not as early or as badly as I was at the beginning of the week.
