I’ve been exercising pretty consistently. I feel good if I can get 3 workouts in a week. 4 makes me feel awesome! I like to go every other day if I can. I’ve been doing a lot of jogging and coming back and doing abs. I haven’t been doing the calisthenics, lunges, bleachers, etc because [...]

Yum, I am really enjoying this hot chocolate. If there is one reason I love when the weather gets colder, and the days get darker, it’s getting to have hot cocoa!
Well, my blood sugars have been pretty good! I’m a little thrown off by the fact that I’m not having terrible lows, and I didn’t [...]

One night, my husband Travis and I decided to have some drinks. I had about a bottle of red wine to myself that night. I woke up to 5 male paramedics standing around my bed. I thought it had to be a dream so I closed my eyes again, but then I felt that I [...]
Working through it

Monday’s are such hard days for me. It’s so difficult to get back into the work groove after enjoying the weekend! And on top of that it seems that Mondays are always the busiest and most hectic day of the week! I hate when my alarm goes off at 6:45 and I have to get [...]

I am feeling very good about my eating and exercise patterns recently! I’ve been staying on top of it, not losing sight of my goal!
I worked out Tuesday and Thursday, even though I wasn’t feeling great. Tuesday I went on an hour long brisk walk, and Thursday I went on an hour long brisk walk [...]

I started a new cycle yesterday. I am anxious to see how my sugars react. I am wondering if maybe my body “knew” it was coming and that’s why I had low’s for my past couple 3am tests. Who knows. Last night I lowered my basal a little during the night. It was 71 at [...]

Overall yesterday was a pretty good day. Other than my waking high sugar, and my after lunch high, my other sugars were all good.
My 3am was low, very low – 33. I really don’t like having those lows, especially not in the middle of the night when I’m sleeping.
September 1st I went into my first [...]

Today my first test of the morning was at 8:30. I usually test as soon as I wake up at 7am, before I suspend my pump to take my morning shower.
Today, I waited until I got to work and when I tested, it was much higher than it normally is first thing. It was 230. [...]
Another week with diabetes

I had a few rough patches over the weekend. I thought that once my cycle went into the luteal phase my sugars would be back to normal, and they have been much closer to normal but I’ve still had some odd balls days.
Saturday was one of those days. I woke up with a low, (a [...]

I woke up this morning with a low. It wasn’t a horrible low, 67. But still, I’d like to wake up to an 80. I still have some tweaks to make to my basal settings it looks like. By the time I get it right, it’ll be crazy again.
I’m working on getting a program for [...]
