34 year Diabersary - and Darth Vader
October 8, 1975 was the day I was dx'd according to the old medical records from the hospital in Rochester, New York. Every year, I feel like I should do more to commemorate the day somehow. I usually end up bringing it up to my wife and we share a toast, which is fine. Too much wine and it becomes a pity fest or I become angry, though. After 34 years I have already done all of that; it's pointless. Best to stick to one drink on the diabersary.
This year the diabersar… Continue

- That's funny your wife says those flying-related comments when neither you nor her ar pilots! I think they're perfect - it IS a lot like 'flying without instruments'. You could say 'flying blind' too. same thing! I was pretty fired up about the CGMS at first, but my excitement has waned a bit- still a great tool, and an amazing piece of technology, just a bit too touchy at times- i find that I can stay pretty much on track with the meter- but i'll keep using the CGMS sometimes...

Michael Wiggins said… - Greg,
Yea eye problems resolved for now headed back for some more laser work in a couple of months. Vision about 99% there. The learning curve on a pump and riding starts right away - with how do I wear this bloody thing while riding. I resolved that with a vest and a pocket. First short ride less than an hour I suspended my basal when I got back I'd dropped 40 ponts, luckily went out on purpose a touch high so I came back at almost at my target range. Headed out on Sunday on that 50 plus mile ride from Ballard to Marymoore and back. Planning to cut basal by 60% - taking my meter and food so shouldn't get into any problems - also with all the people about and my cell phone handy should be all right that way as well. I suspect cutting basal by 60% will not be enough. Two months off a bike has been a killer mentally will have to ride all winter to get my legs back.

- Tri was good for a first time. I left PLENTY of room for improvement. Especially the 5:02 it took me to put on socks, shoes, and a jersey after the swim. :-) Bike was 18.5mph for 12 miles, run was 11minute miles for 2 miles.
