So around a quarter to 8 this morning, I began running. I would for the longest time I’ve ever run and consequently ran the farthest I’ve gone. 20.5 miles.
Blood sugars were much better on this run. I was at 159 mg/dL before starting, I injected 1u of insulin on top of the 2u I had [...]
Got my results for the blood drawn for HbA1c last week, 5.8%. I had thought the couple of tough weeks before the draw might skew me up towards 6%. So the doctor was happy with that result.

I was up in Montreal over the weekend. It was dark and gloomy on Saturday, but I had a [...]
I’ve been getting flummoxed on my control the past 2 weeks or so. I actually saw an 7-day average on my glucose meter above 140 mg/dL. This morning I got blood drawn for an A1c, I’m expecting I may very well see something like 6.1 or 6.2.
It took me some days to decide that [...]
It was a tough long run. Weather conditions weren’t ideal, a bit wet, a bit windy, a bit chilly. My legs complained some especially late in the run about the power cleans and front squats on Saturday. I also had trouble with my blood sugars on the run. I drank too much coffee and it [...]
There’s noreaster off the coast and it’s making the weather around here wet, cold, and miserable. After work yesterday, I went to the park to run. The park was nearly empty.
I ran kind of fast because it felt so cold, I wanted to get it over with. I didn’t bring gloves and my fingers began [...]
The legs feel pretty good this morning, even after Saturday’s run and the power cleans and front squats of yesterday. That’s good though considering I have to run even more miles this week.
I have a doctor’s appointment towards the end of the month, but I think tonight after work I’m going to stop at a [...]
I ran my longest ever yesterday, 16.4 miles. It was a bit warm and humid and it rained some the last half of the run.
Blood sugar was 102 when I woke up at 5:30. I took 2u of Novolog to help with waking up and coffee, and eventually drove to the park where I [...]
I’ve had way too many 300+ blood sugar readings. Way too many in the 200s as well. Lots of stupid mistakes on my part, with my latest one being I forgot to take the Lantus shot last night. I’m amazed I was only 282 when I woke up today at 6 AM, but I was [...]
This year I’ve learned more about airports and flights than I knew was even possible. On Friday, the muggy humid air mass that has been suffocating this area had become unstable enough to create lots of heavy showers and thunderstorms. It had resulted in the airport being closed some, then opening again but restricting how [...]
Fuck, I hate heat and humidity.
I woke up this morning with a blood sugar of 150 mg/dL, a good starting point. I could run unlike Tuesday morning. The dewpoint was a few degrees lower than Tuesday afternoon, that was good.
There was no breeze. The air was still. Lifeless. Stifling.
My legs were lifeless.
Foot felt okay.
It [...]
