Living with Diabetes

This has been a tough week!

It’s the end of the six weeks, we’ve got state testing next week, so life is weird.

I’ve still managed my new exercise schedule though — and have been able to do a full 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer.

While I’m having a bit of trouble getting used to the new insulin….

I went to the gym this afternoon, and blood sugar started out at 115. 45 minutes later of eliptical trainer, I was at 110. How did I do that?

This is a good article on carbohydrate sand dieting.

Nice little wizard to estimate insulin needs.

This site is really good. It is focused on pump users, but there is really good information for anyone who uses injectables.

The moral of the story is to ASK questions.

First, I’m delaying surgery, and going for the steriod injection. Doctor wants me to go that route.

One of my students came to me complaining about this last week.

Actually they are doing SEVERAL other plans too — the Zone for one.

I still haven’t decided.

It’s definately something that is worse when I am tired.

I see the Primary Care physician tomorrow, so will make the final decision then.

I think part of it was what I ate. I went fairly high carb. Sometimes I just get cravings and they make me nuts.

Ended up having to inject a couple of times, but blood sugar is back to what I am used to seeing.
