I'm 26 weeks today!  Baby boy is a kicking fool. After about a month and 1/2 of wrangling my boluses and basals I FINALLY have them working for me!  My averages, courtesy of the Ping meter are a doctor's dream, or at least not a nightmare.   7 Day: 122 14 Day: 128 30 Day: 135 60 Day: 146 I'm happy with these as they're pretty REAL, with hardly any highs or lows to skew the numbers.  But, as everyone says...don't expect to rest on my diabetic laurels when pregnant, I'll probably have to change everything again next week.   My Thyroid TSH levels are also in perfect order.   ***Fun braggy note, my wonderful husband bought a Cuisinart Food Processor today!  I'm slightly geeked up about that :)  I'm hoping it matches the toaster...otherwise they can't live next to each other.   I'll be making homemade baby food for the boy, so this monster will come in handy!  I still have a bucket of tomatoes to process into a salsa so it will ...

I did not think I'd blow through a Twinkie in 25 mins.  It's amazing what your body can do.   As I spouted off the other day about trying to NOT get a low blood sugar when I am running, I'm still experimenting.  I started off last night with a BG of 129 at 6:00 pm (I'm at a basal rate of .45 from 2:30-7:00pm) and a teeny bit of afternoon snack-insulin on board still, so I ate a Twinkie snack cake (28 carbs-mostly straight sugar) hoping that'd take care of it.   Nope, went for just under a 1.5 mile run (25 mins) and came home to a BG of 67 and an evening of almost being low (granola bar was necessary) until I went to bed. Took a big swig out of the milk carton for good measure before bed and woke up to a 164.  Not bad.  If I run today, I will turn the basal down to .25 at around 5:30 and also make sure I'm higher when I start.  Maybe a BG of 150 will be a good number to try and be at.  I'll do the same route also.  We'll see what this...
