I Met a Girl

In the War on Diabetes, yesterday was another victory for me! I gave them the one two combo of healthy eating and balanced injections. I Krav Maga'ed the numbers into a great range for the second day in a row.

Also I got a recommendation for a book called "Cheating Destiny: Living with Diabetes" Whaddya think? Should I pick it up? It was recommended by long time friend of my dad and sister Mark Zimmerman who has a recently diagnosed relative.

pbpk weight: 178.9
11:41 -> 121 Great! Woke up with perfect numbers. Had cereal 135c, apple 20c and 1 piece of toast with an egg 13c = 168 = 3 units Novolog. Later during the first show I had a handful of almonds 3c.
4:55 -> 136 Good! Had my gloriously delicious turkey chili 165c, chips 20c, salad 15c, a banana 25c and 1/3 grapefruit 9c = 238 = 4 units.
7:27 -> 79 Dang, just out of range, and a little low to be performing Joey. I finished the grapefruit 11c, and had another handful of almonds 3c.
12:40 -> Took 5 units of Lantus. Ate a Carrot Lara Bar 32c, had two vodka seltzers.
2:45 -> 139 Wow, not bad. With a number this good I didn't want to risk eating and then going to sleep so instead I had a 5c supper of smoked herring and celery stalks. I hope to wake up under 150.

Notice anything strange about what I consumed today? If you do, let me know and I'll give you the story.

Day 30
