Using CGM, First Time in Two Months

Posted by Chris on Nov 16, 2009 in A1C, CGM, Diet and Weight Loss, Endo Appointment | 0 comments

Today I have decided to wear my sensor for the first time in almost two months. I had it charging all night long because it wasn’t even connected to the charger during that 2 months. I am not even sure if the sensors are still good because I know that they have short expiration date. Oh well, I will still use it and see how it goes. I better change the battery in my pump though because I think it is almost at half life and the sensor kills the battery within a few days, even when it’s a brand new one. I use the Medtronic CGMS just in case you didn’t remember.

I have a doctor’s appointment coming up in a few weeks and she really wants to see the results from the CGM and she usually only looks at the 2-3 weeks prior, so this is good enough amount of time for her to see, and also for me not to get in trouble again for not doing it. I also have to get my A1C down next week, which I am not looking forward to because I don’t think that it is going to be a good number. I have managed my sugars pretty well the last 3 months, but there have just been some random highs here and there that just concern me.

Today is also Monday, so we all know what that means, time to start the diet again. I had coffee to start off the morning, but didn’t eat anything. For lunch I am going to have a salad and a little bit of left over pasta. Tonight for dinner I am going to a banquet for the football league that I coached this year. There is going to be a lot of different random food because I believe it is a pot luck type style. My assistant coach and myself are supposed to bring pizza, so I’ll be bringing whatever pizza is on sale, the kids won’t care, they will love it either way.

The afternoon today is also going to consist of more job hunting and submitting resume’s online. I’m not just looking for a regular 9-5 but also some contract or telecommuting type jobs as well for CSI Marketing Solutions. I haven’t been real aggressive in looking for clients, but I think it’s about time that I start to do that.

Well have a good week everybody.
