Sensor Success!

The second sensor I put in was a complete successful! 

After putting it in, it was acting up and I thought it wouldn't last either.  But at about 3pm on the second day it magically calibrated properly and started giving me relatively accurate results!  (There were some places where it was off a little bit, but nothing like what was happening with the first one!)  It ended today, giving me my first successful six days with a sensor!

Hilariously, I thought it was going to end at 8:30pm.  I wanted to go swimming, but was debating about waiting until after it ended, or going and trying to catch my swimming on the tail end of the sensor.  I opted for the latter option, but the sensor ended at 8am (right in the middle of my swim) so I didn't really get the information I wanted.  Oh well!

I just spent about an hour going over the results.  I had a couple of major fails with carb counting and my period started unexpectedly early.  So I wasn't sure what kind of information I'd be getting off of this sensor.  But I did find a couple of places I wanted to tighten up my basal a bit because it looks like my glucose was crashing.  Unfortunately I'll have to wait until my period is over to see what effect these changes have!

Oh, as a side note, I swam for about 40 minutes today!  Last time I swam for 35 minutes, and the two times before that were only 30 minutes each.  I swam about 2100 meters, and tread water for about 7 minutes!  And I did it all during the heaviest day of my period!  Go me!  :)
