I am finally losing weight, and believing it. My TDD is down, and while I\u2019ve had a bobble up or two, I am seeing a steady increase. Almost too much but I\u2019ll take it right now, since it has been SO long since I\u2019ve been able to lose weight.<\/p>\n
I get hungry again, but I think it\u2019s usually associated with a low blood sugar, so I\u2019m trying to keep that from happening.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve actually raised my bolus carb to insulin ratio by one, and I\u2019ve reduced my evening basal by 10% because I keep going low during dog classes. I even reduced my dog agility ratio by 10% \u2013 though that wasn\u2019t firmly adjusted because it hadn\u2019t happened enough lately to be a real basal rate. It\u2019s just an estimate based on my usual basal rate.<\/p>\n
Yes, I\u2019m one of those people with multiple basal rates, which always surprises my endo. I have one programmed in my pump for regular days like today. Just to get to my room I have to do quite a bit of walking, and I\u2019m much more active.<\/p>\n
I have a weekend basal rate which is about 20% higher than my weekday rate. Again, not as much walking.<\/p>\n
I have a workshop basal rate that is about 50% higher than my weekday rate. That accounts for sitting in one spot and being stressed.<\/p>\n
Then I have the agility basal rate that is between 30-40% of my weekday rate. That accounts for the sitting and waiting and not being quite as stressed. It\u2019s also a shorter day than my workshop rate.<\/p>\n
I even have different bolus rates based by the time of day. I tend to need more insulin to process my earlier meals, and less to process my evening meals.<\/p>\n
Anyone else see that much of a difference?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
