Month: January 2019

The exercise is still really hard to motivate myself to do but I am noticing more and more the relaxed feeling afterwards. My body is warmed up and my BG is lowered and running more steady.

~~

Temp basal decreased by 20% for 3hrs after lunch. I did that overnight last night for a few hrs too. Will look at dropping basal, still haven’t done it yet. Might email clinic for help.

~~

Old basal settings- .25 midnight – 4am, .30units 4am-6pm, .25units 6pm-midnight.

Now- .20 midnight -4am, 4am-6pm .25, .20units 6pm-midnight

Low evening/bedtime again. I’m gonna change midday basal (4am-6pm) to .30units instead of .35units. I think the regular exercise is doing this. Gonna see what tomorrow looks like and then maybe change it.

11:30pm and 5.3. So hard to get up and have food- am so sleepy. Having 20g with no correction. Ok, back to bed.

Low again this morning. 2.9. This is because I am more active. Will see how things are on my days off but may need to do some adjusting. Mornings still tricky because of ‘dawn phenomenon’.

~~

Legs definitely feel less boggy this week, more stretched.

Trying a little harder to have proper food and exercise balance. Doing a 30 Day movement challenge, today is Day 3. Aiming for 20-30mins of activity/movement everyday and hoping to improve muscle tone and overall stamina.

So Freestyle Libre will cost $57 out-of-pocket each time until I reach my deductible limit. That sucks. Am looking at Dexcom again as I believe it would all be covered under my health insurance. I really like the Libre but can’t claim it under my insurance.

Lows this evening at work. 2.7mmol before supper (5pm-ish) and then 2.9mmol before I headed home at 7pm. Didn’t feel them coming- no sweating or shaking. Scares me when my body does that. Hate to think I’d have an issue that I would need help at work. I know I shouldn’t be embarrassed by possibly needing help but I would be.
