blood sugar on the decline

Totally. My blood sugar has been way down lately. In some aspects, this is really good since I've been battling my a1c for the last year (although it was decent during my last appointment). I'm a t1 diabetic in case I've never mentioned it. My readings aren't debilitating but it's making me wonder how much I should tweak my long acting meds and it's making me wonder how much of this is a fluke.

Just in case, I'm carrying an apple with me (80 cal) at all times. I also have "emergency candy" that I always keep in my car. This is sacred candy that I never touch unless I'm feeling awful. I honestly don't want to use it and I'll do everything that I need to handle this.

So for now, I'll play it by ear.

I've been watching my lady coworkers today and I've noticed how many of them have gained lots of weight during the time I've worked here. My one worry about losing weight is that they'll comment on it but I've already come up with an answer for that ("Really? I've started running. I guess my body is just losing the weight I've gained while I was stressed about school"). I already refuse their candy, and their invitations for fattening lunches ("I've already made plans! Sorry, maybe next time."). Some of these ladies are older than me and some of them really want to lose weight, so of course they say something  whenever anyone seems to lose an ounce.

I'll just have to keep it up.
