Guest guest Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 my seven day average for my third week on insulin is as follows. 111 99 104 103. the diabetic specialist doc lowered my dose once more for the second time since March nine when I started with the flex pen. now I take 17 units morning and evening. I did figure out why my sugars were going down in to the 70's and 80's there for five days. I was taking 2 capsules of cinnamon in the morning and 2 more in the evening. the bottle says one twice a day. they are 500 mg each and I believe I was using to many. not saying that 70's and 80's isn't good for most, but don't think I wish to be there right now. I think I'm better to hang around the 90's. from the sound of the nurse I talked to after sending in my last five days of numbers, the doc agrees. now all I got to do is figure out some ways of more exercise to kick the weight lost in to gear. I'm eating 1000 calories a day because I don't do much at all in a physical way these days and I'm eating right and controlling my sugar, but now it is time to up the movement. the saw bones said I need to pick out a place in the house where I can walk for ten minutes every hour for ten hours and continue to ride the bike. he also said to use some small weights to build up some muscle. I will be starting what Dean sent out last week on Monday next. the saw bones wanted to know how much I weighed, so I had to weigh for him and the scales says only 2 pounds since on 3-9 they said 312. well now I will admit that only 2 pounds in 3 weeks of doing good is a bit on the sad side. not going to allow it to get me down though. been there and all ready done all that before. I will increase my walking and add a bit of the weights Dean sent to us. I will admit my scales and his scales may be off a bit, but I did weigh on my scales here at home after I come home from his office on the ninth and they was close to the same. I was as well dressed the same and the shoes were as well the same. on the ninth I will weigh again and we will see who the winner of the $20 bill is. that isn't all that far away and if 2 pounds is what I have actually lost, then I can't see losing much more then 2 more. I believe I have how ever lost a inches or so. my extra pounds has been with me for many years and I can tell they aren't agreeing to move out and stay away. the break up between us is going to get nasty and ugly from what I can tell right now! I may have to get an eviction notice and have them served! I did let them move in and the law does say that once you invite some one in your home, they don't have to leave when you tell them to. the law says here in Oklahoma that they can stay as long as they wish simply because you invited them in to stay a while, so looks as if I may have to get mean with these unwanted pounds of fat that aren't moving out as I wish! just got to get as nasty of an attitude as they have and get down and dirty!
