Yesterday I wrote a blog called, "New Adventure". I want to say "thank you" to everyone who took the time to comment on it and thanks to everyone else who continue to visit my site and follow with me in my experiences. This whole thing continues to blow my mind and without all of you it wouldn't be possible.

So anyway, in my "New Adventure" today, I started another job. To my amazement, a full ten hour day of landscaping and hard work might have been exactly what I was needing. I had a great day of blood sugar control and completing the day without many glucose fluctuations was suprisingly easy. As a person with type 1 diabetes, I can say a lot about what being on a daily, physical routine can do for you. For one, your mood and energy levels are more regulated and predicting and preventing times of the day when sugars might have a tendancy to run high or low comes much more easy. Having a daily routine might also help you reduce the amount of insulin that you take. I can't speak for pump wearers because I have never worn one, but as a person with diabetes who takes multiple daily injections, I can say that I have been experimenting with lowering my daily bolus and basal doses. I am still a firm believer, like many of you out there, that daily exercise does great things for you.

I know it is going to be EXTRA hard on me during these long days, because I am still coming home after work, eating, resting, and then going to my two hour Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. I am getting my butt kicked...literally. Thanks again everyone.
