Been an interesting week
April 25, 2004
Husband and I were both very ill at the same time with something that caused vomiting and diarrah. We've never been sick at the same time before and it didn't go well. Usually there is someone in the house available to go get whatever we're out of that the other person craves. Not this time.
We're both feeling better now, and have restocked on "sick" food.
Weight loss is going super, and I'm using less insulin than I ever have, finally. I met with my CDE about it on Wednesday, and got some good ideas on how to proceed. We've agreed to meet monthly. I've gone from 100-120 units a day to 50-60 units a day, total. AND I have much better control.
I've lost somewhere around 15 pounds, I think, since I don't know my max -- the scale was broke when I started and I thought I weighed twenty pounds less.
Sleep isn't going well at all, but being sick didn't help that. I'm seeing the sleep medical doctor on Thursday. I've come to the conclusion that I probably need to take some light pain pill -- but heavier than OTC a few hours before bedtime and that would solve most of it.
Also getting rid of the gastric reflux coughing too, but I think some of that will come with more weight loss.
The other really good thing is that I've been able to work out in the morning at least 6 days out of 7 -- and still get the workout down in the afternoon.
