How am I doing?
March 02, 2003
I'm going to start making a quick status every day. Maybe that will help me stay on track...
I'm not logging sugars/etc. today. I had to do some intensive logging for CDE a few weeks ago, so I'm giving myself a break. I think maybe I should log for a while next week.
I'm currently on 34 units, twice a day of Humalin 75/25. I take one dose at breakfast, one at dinner. I am also on sliding scale. Yesterday I needed two shots, one in the afternoon, 8 units, and 2 units in the evening.
On Saturday, I have to exercise before 2 pm if I'm going to my gym. I usually take Sunday as a rest day.
I'm losing weight, though I haven't picked a "starting weight" so I don't know how much I've lost. I avoided my scale for a while, since getting on insulin and finding the right dose (which was at 36 units, twice day a day), made me gain weight.

My blood sugar is staying in the 100-130 range (meaning, I haven't gone below 100 or above when I tested.
I ate egg beaters for breakfast with low fat Eckrich Sausage. Egg beaters is new for me. I've been going out for breakfast on the weekends, because if I bring home breakfast stuff, I end up throwing a lot of it out. I tried the Southwest style this weekend, with Mexican cheese and it was as good as Taco Cabana Eggs Mexicana (one of my favorites).
My weight was lighter than yesterday. My body fat is lower too. (I need to write about my scale, it helps).
