Friday, January 25th 2008
Rainy days an Fridays is that how the song began? Today's PT session went off great. My formula of apple juice and water kept my blood sugar up as the new adjustments on my pump. The weather here is cold and wet which did make it hard to get these old muscles going though. I was able to walk on the treadmill at 1.5 speed for over 10 minutes without any pain. This is good. The treadmill said I ate up 30 calories. Whoppie! A whole 30 calories. OK, it's a beginning. I gave myself credit for the re...Doctor visit

The doctor walked into the room grumbling about his day, year and I thought to myself, oh boy it's going to be one of those visits.

Yea for answers! I just talked to my medtronics rep and she thinks she has the answer to what has been going on with my blood sugar. right now I am adjusting my ratio to carbohydrates number and one of my basal numbers. We'll see if this helps. I'm thankful that another ck diabetic shared with me what she does before exercise on her pump because I also have the same problem with exercise and having low blood sugars during and after exercise. Who wants to have eat extra calories just because of l...taking little steps

Physical therapy was a bear today, but it felt good. Good to finally use muscles that haven't been used in a long time. In fact I wondered were they had been hiding all these years.I'm sore right now but a good kind of sore, and not in pain. This achievement is like taking little steps to someone like me who needed a scooter to get around a shopping mall.(still do at this point)All this is exciting because if I can exercise, I will be able to loose weight better. That is the plan I hope and hope...
