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.
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.
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).
This research is pretty interesting, but it will take years before it leads to anything worthwhile.
Insulin Pathway Component Explains Insulin Resistance, Age-Associated Metabolic
Weights only today, thank goodness. I am taking Marcie to a rally fun match on Saturday so I took Macy to puppy conformation class tonight. Will probably do the same next Tuesday night.
I checked my blood sugar 2 hours after and I’m at 101. That makes me nervous seeing as how lunch is 45 mintues away. I’ve just reducted all my corrections to 41.
I’m going to check again right before lunch, but my correction still seems to be working okay, not over kill at 40 units.
Though I am going to keep a close watch on everything — I know my insulin usage and resistance is higher on Monday than on Tuesday, etc. I’m sure after the three day weekend it’s even a bit higher.
I am noticing though, that the longer the weekend, the more insulin I use. I finally just bit the bullet yesterday morning and upped my temporary basal for a few hours by 10%.
I also got in an extra cario workout in the afternoon — and I might do that today, depends on how crazy school is.
However, my average TDD is still going down. According to the 1800 rule, It’s getting time to adjust my corrections but I want to wait and see one in action before I do.
The best news is that my husband is coming home after being gone since a week ago Saturday. Not sure when he will be in, but he said before school is out. I got an email a few minutes ago, so it sounds like he was up and getting ready to leave. Or maybe just play a round of internet poker.
Still on track with light workouts. Which my knee appreciates. I’m doing 3 minutes of cardio at a time, doing my weight workout or knee workout in between.
I also set a temporary basal of 50% less before working out.
Apparently I have been invited to go to China. See http://www.ambassadorprograms.org/upcomingprograms/education/clarence_ellis.asp
I’m not sure if everyone gets invited to it, or why I was picked. I looked up the person who invited me, and I do not recall ever being at a conference or workshop with him, but I could have been at the same workshop several years ago in Austin.
I’ve shown the link to my husand and he doesn’t think going to China is a good idea. (Actually he said getting a 6 week old beagle puppy was a better idea).
My mother also doesn’t think it is something I can handle, and I’m inclined to agree.
First, it would take me away from my classroom for week. I am very disinclined to be away from my students that long, unless there is a very substantial reason for it.
Second, I am diabetic, insulin dependent and on an insulin pump. Traveling right now is problemic for all diabetics, since we really need to travel with liquids, not just our medications. Plus I am on a CPAP machine, and while mine travels very well, its emergency battery can be a problem.
Third, it cots $4,195 to go from LA. While Dallas to LA flights booked this far in advance will probably be cheap. I really can’t afford it.
So I really doubt I will go, but it is an interesting idea.
Oh, and I have never had any desire to go to China.
