Next up… wildflower long course
Well, I pulled the tent out of the closet without too many boxes falling on my head and I found the Thermarest and the most important item for Wildflower: earplugs. I’m doing the Long Course Saturday for the 2nd time and looking forward to relatively moderate temperatures. Nothing will compare with the first year I watched Wildflower when it was well over 100–I was retreating under the shade and I wasn’t even competing. I’m looking forward to meeting up with Bill C. and Peter N. and teammates on my tri team. I don’t know how many athletes there are but it is in the thousands and it is one huge camping party–with the exception that most people will be in bed nice & early on Friday night.I’m not sure if I’ll go with the Levemir that…

No commentsNothing else to blame…
So I guess it is just me. Despite going off the pump and switching insulin, my morning highs are persisting with a fierce determination. I am taking a deep breath and will try to forget those few weeks of easy and beautiful control and just deal with the situation. Perhaps it is better not to wonder why I need more insulin despite exercising more and losing weight and just take it. It is hard to really believe I need as much as I seem to. For example, as of 10 AM today, I had taken as much insulin (~20 units) as I took for the entire day a few weeks ago. Thanks to some great help from Matt Corcoran and a few friends, I am not figuring this out alone. (Source: Annetics)Original post by Annetics
