I just got back from gettin’ my sweat on at the gym..for an hour and twenty minutes. What fun! No, not really but after my day I needed it. We had Chinese food for lunch, the first Chinese we’ve had in three weeks. I did take 7 units of Novolog before going and the BG was 134 two hours after eating. Not fantastic but not horrendous, either. A couple of hours later I ate a few pretzels and before I had dinner of meatloaf, sliced tomatoes and a few green peas my BG was 229. Thanks pretzels! So I really needed to work out to bring the BG down.
I deliberately didn’t take any Novolog because I wanted to see what the exercise sans insulin would do. When I got to the gym the BG was 206. It had gone down a little on its own without outside intervention so I got the sweat on and after the workout the BG was 130. Not bad but half an hour later it was 189. Huh? Damn you, Diabetes!
Some days it seems I can’t win for losing. But I won’t give up. I’m on the right track and I know it. Time, patience, and a lot of effort and I’ll get there.
