Update for the Last Month (Including the Conclusion to the Month of Sensors)

I've been extremely busy lately and keep forgetting to update this blog. Besides school, my brother got married in September, so everything's been really crazy!

First: the Month of Sensors. I ended up running 6 of the 8 sensors (I ran out of time and didn't want one running during my brother's wedding). Four of the sensors ran great, giving me a lot of good information. The other two failed, giving me nothing and then a few hours respectively. I've since discussed things with my nurse, so we were able to make a few changes based off of this information.

Other than that, like I said I've been rather busy. School's been stressing me out a bit lately. But another stressor has been my health. I haven't been able to be very active. While part of the problem has been my busy life, the other problem has been my going low whenever I exercise. Today for example, I went for a short walk with my mom. I did glucose when we stopped and decided to eat a few Skittles and sit for a few minutes before continuing. I did glucose again when we were ready to continue and I had gone lower! She ended up having to walk home alone to get the car because we didn't trust my glucose level to get me safely home walking.

This type of thing has been happening more and more frequently. And I don't know what to do, which is making it more and more frustrating!
