As some of you may have read in my biography, I am very active. I really enjoy exercising. Really. I actually do enjoy it. And I am not talking about just getting on a treadmill everyday. Honestly, I haven't even been on a treadmill in months. I just love moving around. I have found it is great for my body and for my diabetes. I do so many things that I don't have enough room on this page to tell you about all of them. To name a few though, I particularly enjoy weight-lifting, martial arts and doing just about anything involved with the outdoors.

As I've said before, patience is not something we can call one of my good points. When I started Byetta, I really expected to feel something different-nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite-almost immediately. I was sorely disappointed when it took several weeks before I started feeling any of that.
But after a good month's worth of the medicine was coursing through my body, I started the higher, maintenance dose of Byetta, and, I'll admit, I expected to feel different almost immediately. This is really sort of silly, but I was pretty disappointed to feel roughly the same as I had the week or so prior to starting the higher dose. I was starting to wonder why we had to be weaned onto this drug if it wasn't going to make me feel any different.

I get up every morning. I test my bloodsugar, give a morning dose of insulin. I decide where to place my pump in the outfits I'm considering. Some mornings, I wash away pump stickiness in the shower and insert a new canula. Some mornings, I treat a low bloodsugar, quaking and pale at the kitchen counter. All of this, while feeding the cat and getting ready for work. Drying my hair and putting on lip gloss. Trying to find the right shoes and grabbing a book to read at lunch. Diabetes comes with routines that often fit, tucked quietly, into the other routines my life holds.

Life is stressing the crap out of me right now. Can anyone else out there relate to me? I think it is so funny how one moment your happy enough to run around the room in your underwear and then the next second your contemplating things like your life, your family, and your future. What's up with that!? Maybe it's just me? I don't know? What kind of stress is going on in your life? For me, I am dealing with a career change and a move.

In yesterdays post, Lantus and late night lows, I discussed lowering my basal dose. I had read an article where a type 1 diabetic endocrinologist proposed taking less insulin for someone my size. I was taking 17 or 18 units of Lantus each morning and he stated that I only needed about 12-15. I have tried my new morning dose of 15 and so far I feel I need a few more "test run" days.

I'm grateful to live in a part of the country where anything and everything I could possibly want is within a 5-mile radius. My husband and I have occasionally talked about moving out to the country, but then we quickly realize we wouldn't do well out there. Personally, I'm not what you'd call hearty folk. Besides, I couldn't imagine having to drive 30 minutes just to get to the supermarket. Let alone not living a stone's throw from a Whole Foods.
I do the majority of my grocery shopping at a regular supermarket, but a few times a month I make a special trip to Whole Foods. I love that they have ready-to-eat meals that don't wreak havoc on my blood sugar.
