Sept 20th, 2010


Now the trial is over. So let's just look at the figures of this quarter:

week 3 September 10:
BG 90 days average: 160.1 - A1c from BG: 7.3% - A1c from lab test: 6.8%
Total BG tests: 489 - 90 days average: 5.4 tests a day
Bolus insulin shots: 338 - 90 days average: 3.7 shots a day
Average Bolus corr. per day: 15.2 units x 15 = 228 grms Carbs per day
NPH insulin total units per day average: 50.4

You may notice that in previous posts the "horrible" periods were with BG 160-180. Now the bad period was about 200. As usual, a bit slow to catch up with the slow insulin (NPH). There was some growth (1/2" a month). In that period, we went up with the DAY dose of NPH (from 36 to 44), but the night dose, went down from 16 to 6, even 4 some days.

Anyway, besides that, no thrills as usual, no illness. In the near future I'll make a table with the values quarter by quarter, and I keep filling it up. I'll consolidate also the graphs for full years.

Week 113, June 21st, 2010



And that was it! Trial is now over, the 2 years now elapsed. We cannot say right now if we are going to take part in the follow-up extension (3 more years, 2 controls a year), but I plan to keep posting the A1c and BG values as I have done it so far. Later on perhaps I'll summarize on our impressions, but all in all we have not sweated with diet, and we did yes all the needed corrections. We've been measuring BG more in this last stretch as we had some stubborn days. Some told me that they were growth spurs. Other than that, no changes from the previous posts. Thanks to all that followed the blog, you've been a most graceful public. Yet, keep watching the page, I'll be posting values every 3 months, and of course any other news of interest.

Figures:

week 3 June 10:
BG 90 days average: 139.1 - A1c from BG: 6.6% - A1c from lab test: 6.7%
Total BG tests: 583 - 110 days average: 5.3 tests a day
Bolus insulin shots: 375 - 110 days average: 3.4 shots a day
Average Bolus corr. per day: 13 units x 15 = 195 grms Carbs per day
NPH insulin total units per day average: 38.3

week 1 March 10:
BG 90 days average: 132.1 - A1c from BG: 6.4% - A1c from lab test: 6.8%
Total BG tests: 443 - 90 days average: 4.9 tests a day
Bolus insulin shots: 296 - 90 days average: 3.3 shots a day
Average Bolus corr. per day: 11.9 units x 15 = 178 grms Carbs per day
NPH insulin total units per day average: 34.0

Week 96 or 97 - Preliminary post - A1c = 6.7%

I don't have the nice chart yet, as I'm behind entering the values in the XLS. But I've got the last A1c from the lab: 6.7% . This was done on first week of March. When I finish entering the data for the last 3 months average prior to that date, I'll post the BG average, corrections/tests a day, and the A1c from the BG average. Anyway, I just wanted to pass on the A1c. Diet not regimental as usual. Plus 2 weeks vacation with grandma and stay-overs at friends house in between.
