Fixing things
October 20, 2009
So I'm going to try to get my A1C back down.
Here's what I am seeing on a regular basis -- my basal rate seems to be too low in the mornings. I am high when I wake up, and I am high after my morning mocha (I know, but for now it's the only thing I can do in the morning without tossing it back up and I need the caffeine to face the day).
I ran a 50% higher basal and got back to normal. Plus I'm running my agility basal.
So here's my thought and if it's nuts, let me know.
Switch my teacher basal to my agility basal. Make all my other basals higher in relation. Run the new teacher basal during the day and check often.

I'm blaming my not checking my blood sugar on my Dean, she tried to get me to carry less around. Yes, a smaller bag will be good. I'm going to go through my Ameribags and switch to my smallest and see if that helps.
Right now I have the meter on the desk and have stuck to my classroom, and have been able to test the way I should all day.
Need to do the same at home.

Also need to remember to pick up money for personal trainer -- I've moved her schedule to Friday and Tuesday and need to get better at exercising when she isn't at the house.

Hmm, not baby steps!
