I am still all over the place with my sugars. I know I have been griping a lot about them lately. It's just that now that I have this oppurtunity to speak with a bunch of other diabetics, I am loving every minute of it. Just knowing that all of you are out there reading this is making me to want to do better and talking about it everyday helps a ton. I find myself thinking about my diabetes more, which I didn't think was possible. But anyway, enough of that.

This morning I woke up with a high sugar. The important thing is that I could explain it. When I say "explain it", I guess I am using some terminology that my "endo" used when I was a kid. He told me whenever I tested high, one of the important things is that it was explainable. In other words, as long as I knew why my sugar was high or low, then I could jot that down on my BG (blood glucose) record sheet. I guess that's kind of funny though, because if I could explain it, then couldn't I have done a better job controlling it in the first place? That brings me to another one of his famous sayings, which was when he was refering to a "preventable" low. Ohh gosh, I am even confusing myself right now...I think I am going to go check my sugar...I'll be right back, I think I am low. Yep, I'm low. 59 to be exact. Funny thing is, I guess it's "explainable" :).

You see, I played wolleyball tonight for about two hours. And no, that wasn't a typo. I did mean to say wolleyball with a w. It is basically a very fast paced game of volleyball on a raquetball court where the ball is basically always in play, until it hits the ground. You may or may not be already familiar with it. Anyway, it is a fun game and it can definately bring your sugar down FAST! But, I thought when I got home I had taken just the right dose of novolog with dinner. I had to have been very close to the right dosage, since I had dinner almost three hours ago. Am I a bad diabetic? Or is this normal? I talked with another one of my fellow Blogabetes writers, Scott Marvel, the other day and he told me that he could definately relate to playing sports and dealing with the hassle of carb loading and the lows and highs, ect. Well, like we have all said time after time. "It's just another day". I really am doing better though since my, "dissapointing endo visit". :)

Good night and thank you. -Andy
