It's that time again, Aunt Dottie's back

Dear Aunt Dottie,

I noticed you decided to visit me today, I was so happy when I saw you. I knew I could defeat you (thanks to my friends at Tudiabetes.com).I am more prepared than ever! I am in control of YOU! I changed my basal dosage to 8.0 from 4-6 am; for some odd reason YOU make my fasting bg's higher than normal. I will not allow you to ruin my bg's for the next 7 days, just because God invited you to visit, doesn't mean I will let you bring the DEVIL out; I was already mean to my Husband because of you. I want you to stop beating my body up and sending me through an emotional roller coaster. I am in control of you. I suggest you fix your attitude or pack your bags and leave...

Love,
Cherise

P.S.
Darn....I forgot I can't check you out! you'll be back next month!

Fasting Bg's

It's been a busy week for me! My mother in-law is visiting from MO! I am glad she is here, she's such a big help! She takes such good care of me! I come home from work...house is cleaned! She even fixed my lunch the other night...lol She said I needed a break because I work to hard; I wish my 2 year old thought like that. Mother's never get a break.

I have started walking every night; I should never had stopped. I was having issues with my fasting BG's, I knew if I walked a mile before bed my fasting Bg's would be under 100; I was right! why did I ever stop??? The other night I forgot to lower my basal rate and I dropped in the middle of the night. I had to walk around the house searching for glucose tablets! My Husband said, "Baby, you need to keep those tablets next to the bed." I know I need to be more careful. I get a little confused setting my night time basal rate. I do good all day but my fasting BG's are terrible. I thing still has me guessing all the time! I am taking baby steps, I am going to get this night time BASAL rate down! I hope I am not the only person who is having this issue! Do you have a bed time routine you follow to keep your fasting BG's below 100?
