My blood sugar is still doing well. I decided that today would be my break day from cardio because I was having quite a bit of foot and leg pain — I’m doing 60 minutes or 25 minute sessions according to iShape, so I switched over to the non-exercise basal.

Woke up at 4:30 — I really wish I knew why I do that, took blood sugar and it was at 124. Went back to bed after messing on the computer for a half hour or so and woke up at 8:00 am to a 104 blood sugar. Ate, did weights, etc. and now 1 1/2 half later, I’m at 144. Right where I want to be all day so far.

I’m still gradually reducing my basal by .05 units a half hour a day, so it isn’t significant, but still keeping my insulin usage in the 40-50 unit range. In fact, the insulin rules say I should be at 11 carb to insulin ratio, but I’m staying at 10 for a bit longer and watching my blood sugar closely. I’m not quite ready to drop to that — besides 10 carb to insulin is SUCH an easy division!
