So far, so good

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about my BSLs and revised regime. It's been about 17 hours since I changed my basal rates. From my levels today, I'm thinking, so far, so good. I woke up with a 4.2 today instead of a number in the 2-ish range. Hooray! Though it's riding cautiously on the low side, I think it can be adjusted a little to help me wake up with a 5 kind of level just to be safe.

I did get a low pre lunch reading of 3.7. Luckily it wasn't quite such a drastic and quick drop in my sugar levels. Manageable hypo. Some carrot-green apple juice did the trick! So far, so good. Since I moved up my afternoon basal to start at 3pm instead of 5pm, I expected a hyper reading because my body wasn't used to having less insulin so early. But when I took a reading when I got home at about 4.30, it was 6.1! Perfect number. So far, so good!

I looooooove it! I feel like I'm finally starting to understand the mechanics of my body and how to adjust T.D to its needs. Warren said that in time, when I finally understand how my body reacts to food and exercise, and with the help of T.D, he would eventually become obsolete as my endocrinologist.

There's about 7 more hours to see if these revised doses work. In the meantime, it's so far so good!
