Speaking of Weight Loss...
April 16, 2004
iShape and the personal gym in the house is working out extremely well. iShape gives me a means of tracking and the support I was missing from the gym that closed.
Having the gym at home cuts down on the excuses, especially morning ones, and I've been able to do most of my working out in the morning since I got the new CPAP mask and got the insulin adjusted correctly. Both are contributed to the lack of morning grogginess.
I am guessing I've lost at least 15 pounds, but since I don't really know what my highest weight is, that is only a guess.
The good news is insulin usage. Last night, I cut my midnight to 4:00 am basal to 0.95, from 1.0, cut my 4:00 am to 8:00 am basal to 1.10 from 1.30 and my 8:00 am on basal to 1.05 from 1.10. I'm not sure how that all refects in total basal yet, or in total insulin usage, but most days I'm in the 60-65 units a day range right now. And that's with good control. I occasionally still have a bad day, but since it takes almost a week to recover from a bad day, I think I'll be avoiding them more and more.
I see my CDE on Wednesday to work on planning for more weight loss.
