Blood sugar

Last Friday, I went to the U to check on my diabetes. My morning blood sugar has been a little higher than usual in the last few days. As it turned out, my A1C went up a little. It has never gone up that I can remember since I was diagnosed with CF Related Diabetes (CFRD) in 2007. We decided to increase my morning insulin and check more blood sugars. I am very compliant except when it comes to checking my blood sugar as often as requested. It tends to be the same so I tend not to worry about it but that isn't really the best plan. When your blood sugar is high, it helps the bacteria grow and makes it more difficult to fight infection creating a vicious cycle.

On a more positive note, we spent the weekend with friends at the lake and it was so fun! My daughter had a great time with four of her friends swimming in the lake and looking for fish wearing her goggles. We are trying to lay low this week in preparation for our next big adventure to Kentucky.

Tomorrow morning, I am going to meet with my trainer which is really exciting. I have been doing yoga and riding bike but my muscles could use a little extra attention. My trainer left the club for awhile so I had a couple of other trainers. I learned that they are not all the same so I am very happy that she is back. We will see if I feel the same way after she gets done with me.

Today, I am thankful for good friends, some new crops, progress, meeting my deductible, and great dinner on the deck. I am being paged ("MOM") so have a great day.

Blessings,

Cindy
