oops, I meant "sedentary", not "sedate" LOL!
My Endo said to use a temp basal of 50% when I'm active, but that means I'm on a temp basal almost all day. So I think I need to actually have a set of basal patterns to go with my lifestyle.

- No, I teach at Coupeville, but Kings is in our league for volleyball. They had a girl on their team who wore a pump. They were state champs this year. What makes you ask?

- Hey Trista, am enjoying your photos. So where do you go for your d-care? I live on Whidbey Island, but go to UW for mine. There seems to be quite a few of us from the surrounding area. Maybe we can all meet up sometime.
