Happy Monday everyone - today is awesome. I got a call from my oldest son last night and he is going to come by today and visit. We don't see each other very often and he is not on social media. I am really grateful that we will have a chance to chat. My wife and I are in the "great ready for the food storm" pre thanks giving prep. we are going to try a number of new dishes that are lower carb versions of the holiday staples. I'll keep everyone posted on the success or failure of the out comes. I am taking the rest of the week off to be home and I am looking forward to being with family and friends and the food is really secondary.

I am still going to plan and measure the food intake to stay on course - because I am supper happy with my results thus far and my pancreas is just not a team player. gotta love that little guy.

My lessons learned for the week is that I have correlated my BGL numbers (low ones) and my weight directly to my injected insulin. My crashes are not as low now just in the 60s and my weight average dropped a pound with the lower dose. I am going to wait until my next labs but I am going to push again for lowering the dose further. I am going to revisit my diet to see where I can get some extra (I know that no one wants to hear that) calories in to keep the weight where it is.

I hope that you all find something to be thankful for and I want you all to know how thankful I am for all of you on here sharing your success and your challenges. Happy Thanksgiving.
