It took me nearly two months to finally get a solid range of good blood sugar numbers. Many checks would have me hovering in the 200's, only to be followed by a bottomed out low caused by a flagrant over-correction. The devil is in the details when it comes to pumping and I started out with the wrong details! (READ MORE)

Right now, I'm staring at my logbook trying to decide what changes I need to make and what else I want to try with all this. This past week has been a bit rocky so my averages are all over the place. Mostly, they're high. At least higher than I want them to be. So while I'm staring at my book, I'm trying to piece together this last week and figure out what is going on with these numbers.

Thanks to the Amgen Tour of California contest-and-sale from Road ID, The Other Half sprung early for part of my birthday present -- the nice, sporty Wrist ID Elite. The "interactive" version features a member-controlled (that means I'm the one who puts the information in it and controls what information is in it) personal health record, which the Road ID folk call an "Emergency Response Profile" or ERP. The ERP can be read by (or read to) a first responder or a hospital admissions clerk from either the Road ID members' site or by calling a specific phone number. The name on the front and the unique serial number on the back of the ID tag provide the necessary access identification. (READ MORE)

Blogging has become quite difficult these days. Not only am I pressed for time, but I also don't seem to have the correct mindset to talk about diabetes. Maybe I've been doing this too long? I just can't find anything WORTH blogging about that pertains to anything diabetes related. My priorities have shifted.
Work is fairly consuming while I'm there. I don't tend to focus on it once I hit the apartment door, but I do know that the stress is there. I am spending quite a bit of my time in the office, driving to/from work, or spending a few moments here and there at home checking email or organizing for the next day. I don't think I've adjusted to this schedule quite yet.

My averages for the last week are down to 168. I'd be thrilled by this if there wasn't so much deviation in my numbers. 107, 192, 150, 272, 80, 59. I'm bouncing in no clear pattern and for no clear reason.
There are a few out of range that I can pinpoint like a 244 after an 80 because I didn't bolus for a low carb dinner thinking the carbs would bring me into range. Apparently, I was wrong. The 59 because I then over corrected the 244 too close to bedtime. But several lows and a couple highs are unclear to me. It looks like I'm overshooting my insulin when I'm dropping low, but I'm not doing anything different as far as I know (except probably being a little more exact with my carb counts which makes me wonder if my 1:10/1:8 ratio is too high).
