4 Weeks Before and After

This is what I looked like on December 20, 2011, on the first day of being diagnosed and weighing 161.







And this is what I looked like yesterday, January 16, 2012 four weeks later and weighing 181.



I'd like to dedicate today's numbers to my awesome team of medical personal. Dr. Thys and Dr. Thorton and Nurse Linda:

pbpk -> 178 Well looks like the weight has stabilized, now I'm going to have to earn those extra pounds. Time to add squats to my nightly push-ups.
11:40 -> 140 Good! Was rushed this morning so had a pb&j 33c, an apple 20c, and a protein shake 5 c = 58c = 1 unit. From here I went to acupuncture.
3:35 -> 110 Good! I didn't check two hours after breakfast because I felt really good and want to stop using so many test strips. But I think this number is proof that the Lantus dose is good. I had a Chipotle burrito bowl with a taco shell 9c, black beans 23c, rice 50c, chicen 1c, corn 12c, sauce 11c, s. cream 2c, tomato and lettuce 4c =112 = 2 units. Also had my vitamins D, Calcium, Magnesium, B12 and B50.
6:31 -> 128 Good! I got wicked hungry before the show and so I had another quick pb&j, 56 and some grapefruit 10c = 66c = 1 unit. Performed Joey.
12:05 -> 101 Good again! Salad 15c, Curried Spinach 14c, quinoa 60c, apple 20c, 2 sweet potatoes 50c, carrots 20c = 180c = 3 units of Novolog and 5 units of Lantus.
2:58 -> 132 And Good Night!


I have to be honest, I'm a bit diappointed in Diabetes. I expected a bit of a challenge, but a mere 4 weeks since my diagnosis I've got it all but licked. I'm big and strong and energized and can keep my numbers within a 39 point range. How do you like them apples??
