My blood sugars were really good all day yesterday. I had one high of 250 after I ate some pasta, but other then that, they were excellent. Once again, pasta makes me high. You know what really ticked me off this morning? I love to come into the office in the morning and check out some of the most recent posts from all my fellow d-bloggers from the diabetic news headlines, but this morning the past 20-some posts were nothing but recipe after recipe. That is what I consider spam. I like to see new recipes, but 20-30 all at once?
I don’t know if anybody else really cares about that, but I basically use that as my blogroll and skim through the latest posts, especially with the ADA San Francisco just ending people have a lot of interesting posts and comments from it. Well, anyway, yesterday it stormed really bad so I couldn’t go running, but I tried to get a work out inside the apartment. Any quick indoor exercise techniques anybody uses, with no exercise equipment being used? Today is tennis day and it seems like as of right now it shouldn’t rain, but who knows in south Florida. I always say that weather people and baseball players are the only ones who don’t get fired for being right or doing good only 30% of the time. But if the weather people down here were baseball players, they would be getting sent to the minors because they’re only batting about .100 right now.
Today is the sad day I hate, opening my last box of infusion sets and reservoirs, that means time to re-order, and with still no luck with my insurance coverage, its back to paying for them myself. Thankfully I only pay about $110 for my infusion sets, because I had to get more of them one time before and it was almost $200.

Well since I can never remember to watch the DLife show on Sunday’s, I just set my DVR and watch it whenever I remember to. So, last night I watched this week’s most recent episode and is it just me or is everybody else inspired and ready to go grab a bike and start riding? It amazes me that Team Type 1 can manage their sugar levels that damn well with the intense workouts they have. I exercise for 15 minutes and my blood sugars go high. After I get done running my sugar is usually 30-50 points higher.
I was really motivated and have been testing my sugar a lot more often, I know it’s only been about 12 hours since I watched it, but I have tested almost 10 times so far since then. The race starts tomorrow and I am going to be staying tuned to see how well they are doing. I hope they take first place again!
I have been wanting to go riding for a while, but I don’t live in the best neighborhood to do it, and I can’t throw the bikes in the back of my car to go to a bike path. So that is why I was going to by an exercise bike until I couldn’t find one for a reasonable price. Anybody have one to donate?!!??!!?? No, but I really am going to buy one soon, I think I am going to wait until I move because I will have a third bedroom for my office / weight room.
The skies are looking scary down here in south Florida!

The following are thoughts from my head while at work so far this week:
Monday – 1:00 p.m. Beautiful day outside, I can’t wait to go home and run. 5:00 p.m. Hmm it is going to storm really bad. 5:30 p.m. well no exercise because it is raining.
Tuesday – 1:00 p.m. Beautiful day outside, I can’t wait to go home and run. 5:00 p.m. Hmm it is going to storm really bad. 5:30 p.m. well no exercise because it is raining.
Wednesday – 1:00 p.m. Beautiful day outside, I can’t wait to go home and play tennis. 5:00 p.m. Hmm it is going to storm really bad. 5:30 p.m. well no tennis because it is raining.
Thursday 1:00 p.m. Beautiful day outside, I can’t wait to go home and run. Is this starting to sound like the movie Groundhog’s Day or what?!!? No exercise at all this week because of the rain so STOP RAINING!! I have not been able to do any type of outdoor exercising at all, and it is making me mad. As soon as I started to get into a little groove here, the weather takes me out of it. I can see the clouds rolling in already. There are only a certain amount of sit ups and push ups that I can do trapped inside.
Anyway, on a better note, I am going to look at a few houses this weekend so I can finally get out of the apartment I am living in right now. End of August can not come fast enough. But before that comes, my girlfriend’s 21st birthday is approaching fast, the end of this month, and I am just finalizing all my plans for it. She doesn’t know what I am doing as a surprise, and I can’t really tell you all now either because she may be reading this, (I love you, if you are!), but I will tell you all later, not like you all care as much as she does
.
Well have a great day everybody. Today is a busy day in the Life of a Diabetic!
