silence and my trip

Well, there's been a silence over here. I was posting quite a bit, but then I was sidetracked by a project and an upcoming trip. I leave today for Honduras for a week. I'm a bit more nervous about the diabetes element of this trip than any of the other places that I've been, so wish me luck. If you'd like to know more about the trip, you can see the other project I was working on here.

Happy St. Patty's Day! (I'll be far away at that point and missing the corned beef dinner I love so much. However, I did suggest we have corned beef for Easter when I return and was told that wasn't an option! We'll be having a clam boil--so much more traditional!)

International Travel & Diabetes

In just over a week, I'll be travelling to London for 10 days!! Crazy! I am nowhere near ready.

I do have a question for you guys though--what do you do with your basal rates for your pump when you travel multiple time zones? Do you immediately reset your pump clock and therefore basals switch around? I hadn't thought of this until this weekend... HELP! :)

catching up...

I have 170 unread Diabetes Blogs to read... I think the number is a little steep, so my suspicion is that a few people republished their blogs and didn't actually write 25-30 blog entries while I was on that short little vacation.

Had some annoying blood sugar issues while I was gone, but I must say that today was just wonderful. 156 isn't a non-diabetic number, but for a diabetic like me 156 makes me smile on a day filled with hard work and travel!

I am really happy to be home and to sleep in my own bed tonight. Speaking of that...

I'll be back tomorrow with another mediocre post to fulfill my commitment to Naplobomo *how is that spelled again :)

After that post, it's back to random posts at random times, but the good news is that I can start thinking about this weight lose initiative idea thing that's been floating around. If we're going to do it, let's do it right! Email me with thoughts. orsa.aetas [at] gmail [dot] com
