I’ve just gotten my worst A1C since pumping. 7.7. Man that sucks.<\/p>\n
Doctor is attributing the travel and related stress. I hope he is right.<\/p>\n
He also noticed, without me pointing it out, that I’ve been high a lot of evenings and am still high in the morning. We tweaked some bolus settings. I’ve working on better strategies — I was going low a lot in the evenings when I first started working out with Fitness4Diabetics but as I shift my walking to earlier in the day, I’m not doing that any more.<\/p>\n
I also got “approval” to use the Dexcom rather than finger sticks. Okay, I’ve been using the Dexcom to decide if I was in range, and then used the One Touch to get the actually reading to calculate the correction. I’m going to start skipping that step when the Dexcom is looking good.<\/p>\n
Some other medical news — had my second Synvist shot today. And my knees passed the school stair test — I went down the stairs the best I’ve had in years. Man those are steep stair cases.<\/p>\n
I have also managed to walk for 60 minutes per day every day for almost two weeks. I’m slowly moving my schedule towards a school schedule since I report in 2 weeks.<\/p>\n
The good news is that the rest of my values were good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
