  • Exercise – Getting Back – Week 3 – Day 4

    Managed to do all 15 minutes in one session, but did have to take it slower. Then my knee complained all evening.

    TDD has leveled off, which I think is a good thing, but would like to get it lower.

  • Numbers are a little better

    Postprandial numbers are definately better — adjusting the carb ratio has helped.  We’ll see even more by lunch.

    I’m running a tad high though, which is normal as I haven’t gotten as much sleep this week as I was.  Funny how having a husband around keeps me up later.

  • Exercise – Getting Back – Week 3 – Day 3

    Long day. Normal class day, about a 10 minute chess lesson after school. Full contact lens exam — no diabetic damage! Yeah!

    Twitching the left lens slightly.

    But even after two dog classes, I still managed to come home and do my strength exercises. Glad no cardio but it is coming tomorrow!

  • Bolus Rates

    Two mornings in a row, after breakfast, my blood sugar was between 200-210, so I dropped my carb ratio for breakfast only.

    Sure wish this would get a little more stable!  But at least I’m good at tweaking boluses.

  • Medco Games – Requip

    I just called the sleep doctor, they didn’t get the letter I mailed last week, but is has been a holiday weekend.

    I asked her just to mail me a 90 day script for Requip, and we’ll see what happens fro there.

  • Medco Games

    I’ve switched from Depo Prevero intermuscular formula to the subQ version so I can self- inject.  I mailed in the script on Friday, and it showed up on the status today.

    But that is not where the games begin … I’ve been trying to get Requip mail order, and I don’t know if the problem is with the doctor’s office or with Medco.  I got my first 60 day dose from the local pharmacy, and then went to the website, and requested that Medco contact my doctor and get a script for 90 days.

    The nurse swears they did, and that it was supposed to ship.  Instead I got one of their letters saying that they didn’t receive fax from the doctor.  So I sent it to the doctor’s office in the hopes that they will fill in the form and fax the order in.  So far, it isn’t showing in the order status.

  • Insulin Usage

    Even with my peaks in the low 200’s after meals today, I’m still at a lower insulin usage.  Not just from Tuesday two weeks ago, but my average too.

    Though I am afraid I might be obsessing some.  I’ve had problems with that, but I do know if I can get my average TDD down to less than 40, I might start losing weight.

    Diabetes In Control Newsletter – Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Bell’s Palsy Can Indicate Pre-Diabetic State

    I have had trouble with carpel tunnel for quite some time before diagnosis, however, I think it’s more that carpel tunnel can be linked to sedentary lifestyles.

  • Yeah, but….

    Diabetes In Control Newsletter – New Study Supports Major Change In Diet Treatment For Diabetes

    The changes in getting a Type 2 to go to a low-fat vegan diet are slim to none.

    I know I’m not going there.

    And no wonder they lost way, there is nothing left to eat on that diet.

    Oh, and guess who found this…. PETA! (Physicians for Responsible Medicine is a sub organization of PETA).
