One of the things that has bugged me the most since I've had lapband surgery is that I had been running high.
Probably one of the reasons I wasn't losing weight or a side effect from not losing weight.
My A1C has absolutely sucked — over 8.0 which really disturbs my endo, as I hadn't had an A1C that high most of the time he's treated me. I think I started hitting that when they made me Campus Technologist, but might have been before then, I might ask at my next appointment.
The good news, is that since I got so sick, I've been running low. And it's challenging my pumping skills as I don't want to gain any of the weight I've lost.
Here's what I've been doing when my blood sugar is under 140, especially post pranial — turning my temp basal to 50% down. So far it is working, though I should get around to eating lunch at some point, and stop playing with new toys.
I really wanted to lose 10 pounds over the Winter Break and I think I'm going to. So far, every day I've been off I've managed to walk on my treadmill at least 40 minutes (except for Christmas eve).
And the best sign, is that my TDD has dropped from 100 units a day down to the high 50's. I might be able to start changing my set/etc. every three days again, instead of every two. In fact, I was able to do that today.
