I have lots of thoughts… Met with my stessors, well, only one. They wanted to tell me where my classroom will be next year. It’s seriously not a problem and not worth a meeting.
Though the blood sugar shot up to 270. I’m on my way downstairs to walk it off.
I was hoping to finish the school year without having the stressors bother me again, but no such luck. Got a note in my box. I vow though that this time I’m not going to let it get to me.
Three times it has caused me to stop sleeping, three times it has pulled my energy level down, and three times it has affected my eating. I’ve finally got everything under control. I don’t need this.
At least for a little while — blood sugar is still stable and part of the issue may be that I’ve loosened up on choices a bit, but my blood sugar isn’t as low as it was and my insulin use is stablizing.
I think I’ll end up with a TDD under 50.
Energy level is definately improving.
I’ve gotten almost everything out of my classroom — I give my last final tomorrow morning and thankfully they are my best class.
Check out is Friday morning, and I’ll have to wait until grades come back. I think I’ll go in a bit later than 8:00 am since they won’t be in that early.
I’ve been able to pull my insulin usage down from 110 units a day — and uncontrolled, back to under 60 units a day — controlled.
Energy level is slowing coming back — workouts aren’t as hard, and I’m not gaining weight — though I’m not sure I’m losing weight either.
I’ve got two more tests to give, one tomorrow, one on Thursday, and signout on Friday. I’ve probably got one more box of things to take out of my room and I’m done.
This summer I’m focusing on finishing the Master’s and getting over this year, both mentally and physically.
Which is a GOOD thing.
Postpranial blood sugars are still lower than I like, which means I have an opportunity to have a low.
I’m came close to a low again during exercise today, so grabbed a small granola bar. Though it isn’t many calories, they still do add up.
That’s one of the problems, if I am having to eat to match insulin, I will definately gain weight.
If I can drop the total insulin usage, I’ll lose weight.
Workouts are finally starting to get a bit easier too.
I’ve had two readings of less than 6.5 on the pump — unfortunately not the very last …
AACE Announces New A1c Standard of 6.5% or Lower
Dr. Jellinger announced a new A1c standard of 6.5% or lower for patients with type 2 diabetes. The new standard is part of a more comprehensive effort to prevent diabetes complications. AACE is embarking on this effort following the results of a report outlined at the briefing that showed two thirds of Americans with type 2 diabetes are not in control of treating the disease. The majority of people with diabetes in all 50 states had A1c levels above the guideline, and 61% had no knowledge of the A1c test or of their own personal A1c level.
My husband and I finally got to this — he hates crowds, so no way was he going this weekend. There were NO crowds tonight.
It was a good movie and since we all know how it ends, I won’t tell anything else — I kept fussing over the reviewers for doing that.
My dad took me to the first Star Wars. I was still in high school and we weren’t allowed to go to PG movies by ourself. Trust me, I saw it a bunch of times after that.
I saw the second one with my dad too — he got WAY too much enjoyment out of the first, not to go with him for the first.
He wasn’t able to go to the 3rd, he was too sick then, but I brought him home stuff from the theater.
Anyway — this is a bit diabetes related — I don’t get to use this feature often, but did tonight. My pump went off 2 hours after the popcorn to tell me to check my blood sugar, and I was able to test in the theater and correct due to the backlights on both Flash and pump.
I really like that feature of the Flash.
I dropped my bolus rates again, and they are still a bit too low. While I didn’t crash, I definately had a few moments of hypoglycema. I’d already done a few carbs after working out, but not many, and tested at 88. It was after testing I felt the low though. It was over fast at least.
I’ve been using my Treadmill faithfully since I got it, and I have an exercise ball and free weights.
I’m thinking about adding this to my home gym:
The Sports Authority – Exercise: Home Gyms: Weider MAX Resistance System Gym
I need to spend some more time on it, but I like the price, delivery and installation is $169 more.
I love Sunday mornings, when we aren’t showing in agility, because I take things at a REAL slow pace.
Today I got my workout down, and then jumped into the pool. It is SO nice for it to finally be warm enough to use.
I “cheated” abit, I ran completely out of insulin at about 10:00, so I just pulled my pump off and set and went without for an 1 1/2 hours.
My blood sugar has gone up about 5 points, but I think the correction I just put in, and the workout will get it back down.
What’s even better — Sunday is my day to do lesson plans and there aren’t any to do!
