Happy Australia Day Everyone!
I have to say I am excited this morning; well that’s an understatement
really... I'm super excited! (Better watch those blood sugars!) The Diabetes
Australia – Queensland e-newsletter U-Turn was emailed out to all its members
yesterday and I’ve had a great response to both ‘Run for Type 1’ and this blog.
Thank you to everyone who is visiting, I hope that my ‘dairy’ type blogging helps
people in some way.
Please feel free to leave feedback as I’d love to hear from
you or head to the ‘Run for Type 1’ section of this blog to find out how you
can get involved and help me reach my goals for Diabetes Queensland this June.
Also thank you to the very kind woman who emailed me and let me know the
feedback/comment sections weren’t working properly on this site! Evidence that I’m
clearly new to the blogging world!
Today is fast turning out to be the best Australia Day ever! Although I may
have got a bit ahead of myself in excitement and missed my run this
morning...Lucky it’s a public holiday and I can go make up for it once I finish
this blog. It’s not that I’m hard on myself or fanatical about diet and exercise
as such, rather one of my biggest issues when it comes to blood sugar control
is my morning readings (and we all know how mornings have the power to dictate
your whole day). I have struggled for a long time to a) Have a beautifully
perfect reading when I wake up and b) Keep my blood sugar from peaking after
breakfast.
It would appear that my body gets rather sluggish after a night’s sleep.
Before I started running in the mornings, I used to inject up to double the
ratio equivalent compared to at other meals. So at all meals from lunch
onwards, I required 2 units per CP but at breakfast I needed 3 or more units
for every CP. Now I require 1.5 : 1CP for all meals – something I’m very happy
about! If I don’t exercise morning and evening however, it only takes 24 – 48 hours
before I require 2:1 again.
I have also either completely eradicated or have no more than 2CP for
dinner. I’m not suggesting everyone do this, however I can tell you that on
this program I am the happiest and most stable I can ever remember being in my
adult life.
