Day 14: Good day, Friends and Family, Shopped for a Bed and Recliner!

Sunday September 1, 2013

12:30am BG 111 Just checking before I went to bed. .  I also had a few carbs and some protein at 10pm, BG 112: I had a tblsp of peanut butter and a half of a small banana (Bailey had the rest) before going to sleep to avoid the 1am low.

9:50am FBG 111 at 8:08am, same as went I went to bed last night. I am ok with it, it’s safe for me right now, still getting used to the lower numbers. Had 22gms of carbs at breakfast and hopefully that will keep me from getting a 1pm low.

It's an ongoing management of my diabetic life, and I don't have to keep reminding myself of my goal, it is something not easily forgot!

I feel good today!

A diabetic friend is going to send me a computer tracking sheet, currently I keep a written log to track my BG and contributing good or bad factors. Her program tracks carbs, fats, protein, maybe similar to MyNetDiary app.

10:48PP BG 140 This is ok if it keeps my BG from having a 1pm low. I am hoping for a good number, I see in a little over two hoursJ

 1:09pm BG 95, although that is normal, I do not want to go below 90. This is very good and not a lowJ Ate 16gms carbs at lunch.

3:28PP BG 126 Good again, I seem to be balancing out and finding a good carb ratio.

5:16pm BG 117, out shopping for a bed and recliner, feel good, a little tired (no anxiety) due to not being used to going out so much but just wanted to check before I get on the interstate to head home. I am getting more confident but when I feel a little fatigued I want to make sure it is not my BG going hypo. Good number!

6:45pm Resisted the urge to check my BG, tired (no anxiety) but too soon to dinner to take a nap and don’t want to ruin my sleep tonight. Ate a cheese stick to tide me over for the next hour or so until dinner. Learning to listen to my body.

8:24pm BG 113 Good. 50U Had 11gms carbs at dinner

9:11pm BG 125 Was barely able to stay awake. Duh, had a big day but I just had to check. S’ok!

10:24PP BG 119 Good number, sleepy, left leg/hip pain not acting up. Ate  ½ cup cottage cheese and ½ a small banana for a total of 16 carbs. The cottage cheese is probably enough but I want to give my body time to normalize with the change in insulin and avoid that 1 am low. Which is not really a low at 70 but my body is just not used to it yet. My dog Bailey will wake me at 70.

Today was a good day; I am feeling more confident, my positive outlook is returning along with my energy and concentration.
