It has been quite awhile since I was last here. I've actually started keeping a logbook again! When I was first diagnosed years ago, I kept one, but I gradually fell out of the habit over the years. But after a recent doctor's appointment (back in December) when my Hemoglobin A1C wasn't all that great, I decided I needed to see the patterns. Correcting everything on an individual-test basis is probably not the best way to stay in control, so I went back to the log book. I found that the ones given to me with my pump from Minimed have hourly times, so I'm using that one, modified a bit. I'm using every row as a day, rather than using each page as a day. That's way too much information to be writing down when I didn't even want to write down blood sugars! But I have successfully kept the log book for 20 days now and still counting!
Over the holidays, I wasn't really exercising and I wasn't eating super well. So now that everything is over, I've been trying to get back into some sort of habit. Last week I exercised twice for about 20-30 minutes, which was a great start, but I'm hoping to fit in 30 minutes three times a week. This might not always be possible, due to school, but hopefully I'll be able to fit it all in.
