Today was a day of victories and and small defeats. The day started out fantastic. My physical therapist put me on a treadmill! Oh boy, I thought, I hadn't been on one of these in 18 years because of my back and si joint pain. He slowly turned up the speed and I anticipated the pain....no pain...few minutes later...even though I'm going at the slowest speed...no pain...still holding onto the rails for dear life...no pain. Ten minutes went bay and I am beaming look what I did!I did it---I did it ...over and over again. Everyone in the room was laughing. Ok folks I was going to tell you the story as to why this is such a big deal, but just take it from, it is. I'm handicap in this way and today was a victory.
Now for the I can't believe it story that all dieters and especially diabetics can relate to. I'm having lows due to my pump settings needing to be changed. Thankfully I'll see my doctor next week. Today, I had another dr. visit with another doc and did go prepared with a snack to hold me over and give me a boost in case I needed it, but, I also left my glucose tablets at home! Dummy me!As it turned out the appointment and traffic went way past what I expected and my bg dropped again which left me in a bind. So, I dropped off at a convince store to get something. Can you guess what happen? All my good attentions went out the door and I probably made some bad choices. I should have gotten juice and just had a little of it and not the candy and ate all of it!Ugh! At least I left calories at the end of this day for low blood sugars because I knew this day was going to be rough. I will have to figure out how much damage I did. I took off my nightly fruit and hopefully won't need my btsnack for blood sugar control. I just can't wait for my pump to get adjusted. I learned even with all the planning I still can goof when very hungry and that old habits are still lurking around.
