I am doing better this afternoon. I am very shocked that it is taking such a high basal rate to compensate for the workshop. I’m at 40%!

The correction helped. I’m back at 146 but man I want a nap! Being high wears me out. Also hungry but I don’t want to add any more sugar to the mix.

Now I have to watch and make sure I don’t go low.

Now I’m at 115.

FYI: There are several reasons I’m blogging this. For one, these rollar coasters affect the mind and I need to know what is going on so I can discuss with my CDE and the rest of the health team.

I might not remember exactly what went on.

Also if anyone else has clue with this, I would love some input.

I have to decide in a hurry — August 13 is our graduation. I guess one thing to find out, is if they make robes and hoods big enough… I could call in the morning.

I should explain … I have been working on my master’s degree for a long time. I took my first master’s classes back in 1990. Of course, I didn’t intend to get a degree then, I was working on a post-Bachelor’s degree teaching certification.

I had decided that I should take a few extra classes and get certified in Math, which has helped in flexibility, especially getting my first teaching job.

When I finished those classes, my advisor was looking at my transcript and said, “hey, if you take x number of classes and write a thesis, you could have a Master’s in Math”. Well, I took the classes, and couldn’t get going on the thesis.

A few years later, I got the bright idea of getting my master’s in Computer Science. Unfortunately I switched university’s — I’m not even sure the other one offers a Master’s in CS — and that department wasn’t teacher friendly.

Then I decided I wanted a technology certification. I could do it with 4 online courses. Better yet, after I signed up for the first two class, the university refunded my tuition. Long story.

In the middle of the last two classes, I found out I qualified for a program my district was putting on. When I turned in my degree plan, they gave me credit for two classes and I figured out I could finish this August if I took two classes this summer.

So I’m about done. I hope. I still have an assignment and a paper for one class, and an annotated biography, a “final exam”, and 5 more weeks of discussions.

My husband says he’ll come watch. I haven’t heard from my mother. I don’t know who else I’d invite. I really don’t know any of the other people who are graduating in August — the group from the district doesn’t finish until this spring.

Regalia costs $100. So I just don’t know right now, but I need to decide if I’m going to soon.

I find it very disappointing that there is no progress being made on continous monitors. See snapshots of blood sugar readings is NOT helpful.

Also that means we won’t be seeing a closed loop system anytime soon. A close loop system, for those who aren’t in the know, is an insulin pump that operates automatically. For that to happen we have to have a continous glucose monitor and it will have to have been out of the market long enough to be known to be reliable.

Diabetes In Control – AACE Announces New A1c Standard of 6.5% and Lower

This organization is urging lower A1C’s. Probably not a bad idea, though it’s tough to do on MDI (shots).

A really good article that explains what dog agility is about.

This is the sport I currently do with my dogs. Both of my girls really love dog agility, and it’s a way for me to measure my physical ability. Or lack there of.

Before I did dog agility….

I did some conformation and a lot of dog obedience. I had the number 1 Obedience beagle in the country for 8 years, according to Front and Finish Magazine, and was recognized by the National Beagle Club in 1990.

As a result, I got into pet therapy, which was very hard on me, but fun for the dog.

Later, as a result of the dog obedience experience, I got into Police K9 Training and was a certified instructor for several years.
