Trends

I just love Running.  Have I mentioned that before?  Well now I have.

I am not fast and I cannot at this point run a full 3 miles straight.  I don't expect that I ever will because that is not my goal.

The reason why I love running among other things like runner's high, great legs, better breathing capacity, etc, is my blood glucose control is EXCEPTIONAL when I run.  Not just good, not great--EXCEPTIONAL.

Here is an example:
This morning I woke (rest day for me so no running) and my BG was 73--I thought I would wake up high because I checked last night before going to bed and my BG was 138 and I didn't do anything about it--usually I will give a 50% normal dose of insulin for something like this because I am going to sleep and I don't want to wake up low in the middle of the night.  Now that will really bring out the bear.

My fasting blood sugars have been awesome since I started running again a couple of weeks ago; not one or two but every single one is great!

I wake up between 70-90 every day.  Not to toot my own horn or anything, I am just trying to share my happiness...
