Big Blue Test Results

So I participated in World Diabetes Day by wearing blue AND taking The Big Blue Test. At 2:00 pm I was at 132 (after eating berries for my afternoon snack). After 14 minutes of stepping with hand-weights, I am at 106! Just goes to show how exercise can affect your blood sugar.

I REALLY need to get more consistent with my exercise. I remember last year writing that word in my hand because it is my biggest struggle...Consistency and here I am a year later, still struggling with the same thing.

The support that I've found from all of my online communities (see sidebar) and the wonderful blogs I read help me (when I am actively reading them). I just need to keep on reading and posting and making small changes until I get where I need to get!

Checking In/Daily Diary...

As I promised to do yesterday, here is a status on my day:

I woke at 5 am to do 20 minutes of cardio (10 on the glider, 10 stepping). I tested regularly today (fasting, pre-lunch, pre-dinner and I'll be doing a bedtime reading as well). I ate 3 meals and two snacks (B-2 scrambled eggs, S-1 oz. shelled pecans, L-Homemade Veggie Soup, S-25g blueberries, D-Spaghetti Sauce w/veggies over 1/2 cup noodles). I will do 50 wall push-ups before bed. I signed in to Twitter and I am headed to Diabetes Daily and Tu Diabetes to read some posts. Finally, I posted here. I'll be back tomorrow.

Something I used to do on my old personal blog that I am going to do occasionally here:

Heard in the Diabetes Too household today: "What did the green grape say to the purple grape?...Breathe, dummy!" A joke my husband told me this morning. That cracked me up...what does that say about me, LOL?

Happy Anniversary Tu Diabetes

I just want to send a shout out to Tu Diabetes. Today, the online community celebrates its second anniversary. I have learned so much and received support from this community. It is wonderful to have these resources available to us.
