So now I am on my first trip away from home with an insulin pump. I am in Monroe, LA with one beagle, and we’re entered in an agility trial here. I have a NICE hotel room, Holiday Inn, and it’s a suite room. I found years ago that helps the sleeping problem.<\/p>\n
I did notice that my blood sugar was a bit elevated driving. It makes sense, since you aren’t moving around much and people driving around you do goofy things on the road. I also had some edges of thunderstorms and some road construction to deal with.<\/p>\n
Not eating sugar as I went wasn’t hard. A bad habit my father taught me — eat sugar to stay awake. FYI: It makes diabetics sleepy. This is NOT a good thing.<\/p>\n
I ended up eating fried chicken and salad on the road instead of Diet Gourmet when I got to the hotel, but the calorie level worked out fine. Maybe a touch over.<\/p>\n
I only woke up once, and my blood sugar was a tad high. It was low when I went to sleep — 125 and the last time — Wednesday — it was that low, I woke up three times and had to treat it. Instead I ate a Snickers minature without insulin. Thus I was a little high when I woke up too. I treated the high with a half insulin correction since right now I’m on my dawn syndrome basal.<\/p>\n
I did leave the dog food and my running shoes behind — it was starting to storm and I wanted to get out of town before it did. Luckily I only managed to get hit by the leading edge. Stopped and got dog food in south Dallas, and will deal with the shoes sometime today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
