Then it&#8217;s about a 45 minute drive home, provided that TxDot or some idiot driver hasn&#8217;t fubarred the roads.  For some reason, Dallas drivers HAVE to drive 20 mph over the speed limit at that time of night.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of reasons we drive that far &#8212; it&#8217;s pretty hard to find enough land in the city of Dallas to do a proper dog agility class.  Second, I&#8217;m pretty picky when it comes to instructors.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after a full day of class, where I spent the day with my blood sugar cruising around 110 most of the day, and post pranial after lunch at 130, I went off with the dogs.  After supper and getting ready, my blood sugar was at 95, so I grabbed Snicker&#8217;s minature and a couple of lifesavers.  Was still at 95 a half hour later, so did a second dose.<\/p>\n<p>Also hit the temporary basal at -20% at 5:30 and grabbed a hot dog right before class, so I would have a bit of sugar (from the bun, the hot dog is to slow things down) to keep from going low.<\/p>\n<p>When I finished class, I was at 140, and was 125 when I got home, so I hit another Snickers Minature a few minutes ago, so I don&#8217;t have to worry about going low in the night.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also going to up my boluses &#8212; I haven&#8217;t had to correct all day, and have been lower than I like postpranial.<\/p>\n<p>That also means my TDD will go down (TDD = Total Daily Dose).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been under 65 units for the past 7 days!  That&#8217;s not bad, considering in end of my crisis I was doing 120+ units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And a very long day. But Thursday&#8217;s usually are.
