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…

I get this fixed on Thursday, I hope.
I don’t do this often, but my husband is off on a vacation trip, and a lot of people wonder why I didn’t go with him.
Besides the fact, I hated Vegas the first and only time I went, and that my AP CS kids have their test on May 7th, traveling sucks.
Actually the Wall Street Journal article is probably even better.
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?
