Learning to Trust the Dog
September 29, 2012
After Thursday it will be very hard to get me to go out with out Dulce. Blood sugar wise, I’ve had a fairly decent school year. I’ve been very good at control during the day and I’ve learned, once again to tell demanding student – please wait a moment, I need to test my blood sugar (did that at least once yesterday).
Thursday I was having one of those diabetes days. Blood sugar was high no matter how much insulin I did each check, and in fact, she indicated as we were packing and sure enough I was at 220.
I corrected.
As we headed out, I thought it would be a good idea to get the gym out of the way on the way home. I was also working on her stay on the mat behavior while working out, so I didn’t give her picking up the leash much thought 15 minutes into the workout as she will sometimes offer that as a behavior when we’re training.
The third time she was adamant about it, I checked and was at 90. Time for me, personally to quit the work out and get some carbs in me before we had a bad evening.
