I’ve had some major victories — I’m usually sick whenever we have workshops, and the week before school starts is usually one of my bad times.
My blood sugar was fine on Monday and Tuesday, actually great, but I made a bit of a miscalculation on Wednesday and have been having lows almost every day ever since.
Part of the problem is that I’ve been very conservative on fixing boluses as I don’t want to end up rebounding or being high.
Here’s the deal, we had a convocation at the American Airlines Center here in Dallas. I figured on sitting still for half a day, but didn’t take in account that I would have to walk between 3-6 blocks to the Airline Center (probably closer to 6).
When I got to AAC, I had to get help. Which was actually a good idea as it got me out of a mob of people.
After a tube of glucose and sitting in the cool, I was fine.
And I did do something smart — I had my lunch all packed and ready to go in the car. That was smart, as when I got back to the car I was at 90. I just got into the line to get out of the parking lot and ate my lunch as I waited.
The bad news is that my corrections are working too well, and I’ve had at least one crash a day after a correction. The good news, that I have been avoiding rebound highs by actually bolusing for most of the correction.
I’m looking forward to next week, but reminding myself to check often!
