POOR JUDGEMENT BUT A SOFT LANDING:
so this morning I was trending low, despite taking Gtabs, waiting 1/2 hour, testing again, needing to take another Gtab (bc nothing had budged one iota), and then after I turned my basal down (65% TB) I was STILL trending down , so I took another Gtab. But I was impatient. I was layering those tabs on top of one another (not waiting long enough, I guess), and then my BG (seemingly all of a sudden) just skyrocketed!!! Man was I pissed and disappointed with myself I went from a nice 70 to an upwards trending 146 in half an hour. Well, what’s a girl to do but leave the house immediately and get a move on!!!
So, we left earlier today than usual, and it was much more pleasant out. warm, but only 72 degrees out and breezy. Not particularly humid, either.
I walked as much as I could with my husband, but there were points where my body just HAD TO RUN, so I ran and then I ran backwards to him and then ran ahead again. Tomorrow, I will b on my own so I can run as much as possible without leaving him behind and feeling any guilt
here are today’s stats:
9:15am BG 69, took 1 Gtab
9:45am BG 70, took another Gtab turned down basal to 65%
10:15 BG 74
11am BG 146 (damn it all) turned basal up to 70% and left the house
12pm BG 148
12:30 BG 133 turned TB off (100%)
1:15 BG 100 drank 48oz water and bolused for 32gms refuel
It felt good today. I felt strong. I had no breathing problems at all, no heart pounding either. Perhaps my lungs are getting used to this kind of exercise. Of course, it could have been due to the difference in the weather. But I was able to do 8.5 miles. not bad.
curious to know how the evening will go!!!
sizing out,
