Diabetes Mine: Look Who’s Talking Self-Disclosure (on dLife), and The Great Glycemic Index Debate
It’s interesting that you bring this up TODAY when I have to remind people.
I get really sick when my blood sugar is too high and I got high during a staff dvelopment session today. So high, that the first person I reminded was the school nurse and the second people were the people running the session so they would know why I was madly typing on my Treo. More on a non-trackback entry.

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.
