Numbers
6:10 – Time my alarm went off this morning.
99 – Sweet BG
194 – Ugh. Two things: I AM 6’4″. I need to drop about 10 to get down to my ideal race weight.
7:30 – Time I’m planning to start swimming.
-50% – Basal adjustment for 2 hours for swimming.
23 – grams of carbs.
.65 – a little bolus to cover carbs 30 minutes before swimming.
134 – Pre-swim BG. Not bad.
22 – a few more grams of carbs to get me through.
2400 – yards swam
89 – Post-swim BG. Pretty good, but would prefer to have it a little higher just to be safe.
4 – Number of units to cover post-swim spike and post-swim food.
Numbers, numbers, and more numbers. The life of a Type 1 Diabetic. And this was all between 6 and 9 am.
Oh, one more…
4 – Number of months since my last post.
I’ve got a LOT to write about. Stay tuned…
