Day 1

Not so good for my first day, but when you're starting over again the first day is hardly ever particularly good. The numbers for today were:

- 7am 147
- 2pm 342
- 8pm 321
- 11pm 219

Daily Average: 257.25

No pink tab for me today. But the numbers could have been worse. After all the junk I ate today I'm surprised that they weren't higher. Hopefully it won't take too long for me to get my averages back down to the 180s.

I'm really grateful that I have a pump. In a diabetes chat room I heard about someone else who is still on a pen. I probably should learn how to give myself shots in case of emergencies. Just think. In today's world of technological advances I can give myself insulin by pressing a button whereas 80 years ago Diabetes was a death sentence.

Did you know that pizza actually takes longer to digest in your system? Normally when I have a bolus for a meal I have the entire bolus in one go. With pizza I do what's called a dual wave bolus. I spread the insulin out over a half an hour usually. It's very interesting.

For anyone reading, thank you for your support. :)
