I have to say I am disappointed with this service.
For almost all of last week, they had a bug that processed mailing lists incorrectly. That makes me nuts.
Then early this week, my Inbox stopped working, and it took them over 24 hours to fix.
I don’t function well without working email.
So I’ve got my secondary addresses setup with them now.
And I’m using a competitor who they are suing over patents — spamarrest — working as my primary email spam filter.
I’ve been accused of statistical voyeurism in the past, and in anyone cares, here are two interesting reports — to me.
The first shows how much insulin I am taking:
Medication Totals from Diabetes Pilot
The second shows average glucose by hour and shows the details:
Average Glucose by Hour
Notice that even though I am reducing insulin, I am seeing pretty good control.
Well, MedRants and the rest of the web blogs are right.
It doesn’t pay to be a doctor any more — at least not in Dallas, and as a result, my doctor and his wife are going back to Oklahoma.
My husband has trouble with the concept, but that’s another long story and a bunch of really bad jokes…
He promised me he’d make sure I’d have a good doctor when he leaves. We’re going to do the next set of labs before then.
I’m VERY sad.
I’m still frustrated. I’m doing 45 min cardio or 30 min cardio + personal trainer 6 days a week and still losing the same 5 pounds over and over.
HOWEVER, some good news, and hopefully some light at the tunnel. Yesterday I was at 62 units of insulin and blood sugar levels stayed at good levels all day.
I’m going down to 60 today. That’s from a high of 72 units!
One of the reason I’m decreasing insulin levels, is that I am very close to hitting some lows throughout the day (and did hit one on Sunday).
It’s a fine balancing act, but I’m learning it.
One of my friends and I have a new motto. It’s “It’s Just One More THING!”
So the latest (one of several, but the one most related to diabetes)….
We have a pool. I’m STILL not sure it’s a good idea. We’ve had it since we’ve had this house, about 2 years.
Anyway, I was able to get in the pool. It was cold. 78 degrees, but it was fairly warm outside and I was still hot from the gym.
I managed to get across the pool 3 times, so add that with 30 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of resistance training. Not bad.

I really hope it does help better than the others.
I still don’t know what happened yesterday, but I am going to decrease my twice a day insulin. I’ve been running much lower than usual all morning.
Never odd.
I hit low this morning — 40 to be exact.
I’m not sure what happened. My blood sugar was 136 before I ate breakfast. I ate a very low carb breakfast, but then I usually do. Started laundry, came upstairs to do a low, felt really dizzy, sat down at my desk and took my blood sugar and it was 68 using my arm. Took it again with my finger and it was 40.
I’m linking to myself, hope that doesn’t break anything, but I wanted to make sure people who use alternative site testing saw the post on my low this morning.
I first tested on my arm and got a 68. That’s alarming in itself, but within seconds later I tested my figure and got a 40. Make sure when you are testing lows, you are finger testing.
Yeah, it’s a real pain, and my fingers hurt all day afterwards, but this is needed information.
And it’s days like today having a data port would be nice…
