Diabetes Blog – Happy-Medium.netI finally got out my brand new Accu-Chek Nano this past weekend. I’ll talk more about it after I’ve used it a bit. And I’m sure that hundreds of others have already reviewed this product. Anyway, I wanted to try it side by side with my old reliable Contour meter for a few days, so that’s what I’m doing. Each test on a different finger, different hand. And guess what the first reading looked like:
Dinner went down really well after this.
This doesn’t happen very often. Or first thing in the morning:
Something like this, on a beautiful 55 degree June morning (breakfast on the porch!) makes you feel like anything’s possible.
Now get out there and get crackin’, you knuckleheads!
Without much else to write about today, I thought I would pass along a few random glucose readings from the past 24 hours:
7:15 am: 68
Not surprising considering the fact that I was in the 6:00 spin class, which kicks my butt every single time. Which is why I keep going back. The temp basal that I set before going in: 0.750 units for 1 hour (normal basal at this time: 1.15 units per hour). Had a couple of homemade turkey sausage biscuits for breakfast.
12:05 pm: 96
Not much to say, except that the commute was busy but normal, and I was in meetings all morning long. Had a peanut butter sandwich and some pretzels for lunch (I know, too many carbs).
6:50 pm: 129
Knew I had too many pretzels at lunch. I figure I have two vices left: alcohol and salt. Mostly, it’s the salt that gets me to overdo the carbs. Dinner was leftover rotisserie chicken, cheese, and tomato on crackers.
10:07 pm: 119
Snacked on a chewy, yummy cereal bar after this. So good.
Not a bad day from a BG perspective… but there’s a little room for improvement, I think.
