The Froo-Froo Bits:
Yesterday was a hard, but good day. I added a daily walk into my routine. It kicked my butt. I started out okay, w/ my blood sugar at 91. The first 5 minutes were fine. Then the burning started. I had this tight burning sensation all down my left leg. I kept walking. I'm pretty sure that I can walk that one out over time. That's also part of the reason that I started with yoga FIRST. Stretch THEN work, then stretch again. My blood sugar when I got back to my desk after a 15 minute walk (which was one time around the block outside) was 66.
Exercise has a very profound & almost jarring effect on blood sugar: at least it does for me. This morning at 3:30 AM, I had my sleep interrupted by a low sugar reaction. My sugar was 46. I got up and took care of it, but that's scary as hell. When I woke up for the day, I adjusted ALL Of my basal rates. I'm taking less insulin (again). That seems to be a running theme. It also seems like my body can't get rid of my need for the stuff fast enough. I'm aiming for slow & steady wins the race & my body is champing at the bit.
Wow! That's all, just WOW!
