Losing weight on an insulin pump

Thursday, January 10th 2008

Well, I knew I would eventually have this problem, but I think I need to get my pump rates adjusted. I stared the pump in June and since then lost 34 pounds. The past several weeks I have been having constant problems with low blood sugars and basal rates that are out of proportion to my boluses. I mention all this because I think this is slowing down my weight loss. I don't know if anyone else has experience in this area. I've been told I need to give my diabetic rep
more numbers before they ...

buying the wedding dresss

Wednesday, January 9th 2008

Well yesterday I took my daughter out to look for wedding dresses and we struck gold our first time out. She found something she liked within our budget!

This new year has started out rough. I actually gained two pounds. Its the first weight gain I've had since starting my diet a year ago. It's my fault. Depression set in and granola was there along with that box of sugar free candy my brother sent me for Christmas. (Which by the way I was mad at him for sending me THREE boxes of) I gave away the rest but did not resist the one. Ok, I think I learned my lesson. My blood sugar soared again as I learned sugar free stuff doesn't help you bg levels n...

first blog

Monday, December 31st 2007

Since this is my first blog, I thought I would tell everyone that I've been on my diet since May of this year. I have already lost thirty five pounds add to that the twenty I lost last year, well you can add it up. I am disabled and find it difficult to exercise.I can do pool exercising, so I do that when I can. The good thing is that getting rid of the weight has helped my back an improved my blood sugar levels since I am also a diabetic. The Calorieking sight has been a blessing. Hope to write...
