Yesterday was a diabetes disaster

So far this summer, consuming 40 carbs, bolusing none and walking on the treadmill and fixing later has been working.

However, I end up with a bit of a high.

Since the CGMS , consuming 40 carbs, bolusing half and walking on the treadmill and not having to do much of a fix has been working.

BUT

40 carbs = a lot of calories. I would like to eliminate those calories.

Yesterday I tried cutting my basal to half for an hour. 40 minutes in, Dulce said I should quit. I stuck it out until 45. Made it to a Sonic for an ice cream cone but didn’t make it through Tom Thumb to get lunch. I think I ended up eating MORE calories.

Then my lap band had to get into the act.

I felt like crap for the rest of the day.

Wish me luck. Today, I’m doing 0 insulin for an hour, no insulin for 9 carbs, and half insulin for 19 carbs.

    I hope this works out better for you!! I find all of the trial and error we need to do pretty frustrating.
