Happy Tuesday everyone - What an amazing day. It is nice to have the sunrise back on the drive into work due to the time change. First week is complete on the new lower insulin dose and everything seems to be ok. I am getting really comfortable on lowering my carbs even lower as I go along. I have still had a few episodes of low blood sugar but I am paying attention so it is do-able for now. My next goal is to lower my insulin again in February when I get the labs done again - provided the data supports it. My lesson for the week is how emotional stress impacts my system and drives my numbers. I didn't over eat or binge on sugar but I had an evening of high blood sugar (thanks for that Pancreas) and I ended up with muscle cramps and a fitful night on no sleep. So I went to the chiropractor and got realigned - so much better last night and this morning. It is so amazing how our system works - not a bunch of individual parts but a symphony for coordinated cells all doing their part to keep me going. Just really in Awe today of the human biology. I hope that you are all having an amazing time on your adventure and remember to take the time to be in Awe of the lives we get to lead.
