Byetta and Morning BG's

Well, I have been on Byetta for a few days now and I have been doing good. I am noticing that my appetite is smaller which is a good thing.

Finally, the last 2 mornings I have had wonderful (to me) bg's fasting. Prior to byetta, my fasting numbers have been a bit high ranging from 135-155 on a consistent basis. This would drive me crazy because before bedtime it could be 90 and I would wake up with 150. I think that may be the dawn phenomenon that I have heard of. I don't know. But, The last two mornings I have had a 110. I am pleased with that. I hope with continued exercise and watching my meals will bring it down to 100. 100 is my goal. I just want to have a solid plan that works in managing my diabetes consistently. I am tired of all the troubleshooting! LOL Is that too much to ask?????????

VACATION METER?

I am a positive person and I am doing my best each day to remember to eat healthy, get some daily form of exercise and take my medications/shots etc. to manage this thing. It just gets tiring thinking about everything.
Like for my upcoming trip, I am thinking about, will I have enough medicine for the trip. needles and alcohol swabs for my byetta. will I remember to get it refilled before I go since I will have to start a new pen in the middle of my trip. Also, I need to get a cool pack for it since it can only be between 37-77 degrees. I will be in the Florida heat and I think it will be hotter than 77 at the bottom of my purse. I need to remember to take my UltraSmart Meter.
I actually had the thought of using one of my new freebie meters as a "vacation meter", since I may be more likely to have some bgs out of my desired range and I don't want them to affect my normal day to day ones when I am being good. Certainly don't want the dr. to see those, right?

I know. I'm crazy at times. I'd be fooling no one not even myself. This disease is real and unforgiving. Why would I care about the dr. seeing good results? The A1c don't lie.
That was just a rambling thought running through my mind as I prepare for my Disney trip.
I just wish I could drink orange juice at breakfast and have a regular coke with popcorn at the movies. Just a few simple things...

HECTIC TIMES...

I have been so busy with month end at work that I have let it take over my life this past week. I have been working late almost every night. Since I have been doing this, by the time I get home I am starved beyond belief and just end up eating dinner- forgoing my work outs. I relax for what feels like a minute and then it time for bed since I have been so tired. Then morning returns all too soon.

It is catching up to me. I am feeling tired again. My bg's are not where they should be. I went to the dr. this past Tuesday and I will start Byetta again. I still have not filled the script yet. I did attempt to last night but the pharmacy was out. I will get it today though. I also am planning on getting to the gym tonight.

Some things I plan on doing this weekend are:

• rest
• attend son's baseball games
• work out
• clean the house
• clean the garage (supervise my husband) :)
• see Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey

Looking at this post, I see I do it to myself. I think I am a bit ambitious with my weekend but I will have help.

Have a great weekend Diabetes Community!
