The weekend

So it's sunday, and the weekend has been great! My sugar has been amazing, which makes me very happy! So remember the low sugars I had been having in the afternoons after gym class and such, well on Friday when I got home from school I checked my sugar and it was 90, which is good; a lot better than what it had been. About 30 mins. after that though I started feeling like crap because my sugar was dropping, so I checked it and it was 60, so I grabbed some tostitos and a glass of sunny d. I ate spaghetti for dinner, didn't correct, which I should have, but after eating dinner, I checked my sugar, and it was only 160! It surprised me because usually after eating anything pasta, and not giving insulin for it, my sugar sky rockets, but for some odd reason, this time it didn't. I guess you could say the strange world of diabetes, haha!

Low Sugars

So, this past week has been full of low sugars in the afternoon. Usually during 7th period Chemistry, or by the end of Chemistry my sugar is low. Most days though I have no money on me to get a snack, so I have to get on the bus with a low sugar, which I HATE doing! I'd say what is doing it is all the exercise I'm doing in Gym class, which I'm not really use to. I've been running everyday, and doing push-ups and curl-ups in that class, and jumping rope. It sure has been a work out, but it's good for me. I'm so proud though because I don't stop, I just keep on going. But anyhow.. I lowered my afternoon basal rates, so we'll have to see how that does. I'll give an update after the weekend.

The Omnipod

So, I have a friend in Ohio who is a diabetic that I haven't spoken to in almost 3 years, and here recently we've been chatting on myspace..anyhow, she tells me about this new insulin therapy she is on now and it's called the Omnipod. I've been doing my research, and it's turning out pretty good. I'm really interested in it, and I'm really considering switching to it. I have an Endo appointment in February, and I'll talk things over with him then and see what he thinks. I just hope my insurance will pay for it! If anyone is interested, here's the link to the website for more info myomnipod.com. So far from what I've read... there's no tubing, no needles, and not even a pump; it's now referred to as a PDM. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to switch over, because if so I may have better control over my diabetes :) Let me know what ya think!

Yesterday

So yesterday was a fairly good day, all but for I ate fast food twice & then had an Oreo blizzard cake lastnight! So I went over my calorie budget by 347 calories! I did exercise yesterday for about 30 min. I think I burned somewhere around 94 calories, but still went over! I guess like my mom was saying the other day that it's a lot easier to consume calories then to burn them! She is completely right!

Today

So my sugar was 217 this morning. I didn't get breakfast, but I did have some lunch at burger king & my sugar was 145 when I ate. I had 82 carbs! I won't be doing that again anytime soon! Going to the movies tonight with some friends so I'll have to see if I can control myself from eating popcorn!

The rest of yesterday

So my sugar finally came down to 187 and I had lunch at Shoneys; eating only 4 chiken strips & some fries. I then walked around the mall for about 1/2 an hour or so & burned about 50 calories (thanks to my iPod for that calculation). However at bed time my sugar had went up to 352 we will have to see how morning goes goodnight.

My morning

So my morning started of at 8:00 am with a sugar of 427 (no clue why???). So I correct with 9.2 units of insulin and eat 1 strawberry toaster strudel and an orange juice to drink totalling 50 grams of carbohydrates. We will see how the rest of the day goes. Going to the mall for a movie and walking around and shoney's for dinner for my boyfriends birthday! Wish me luck!
