D is not just for Diabetes...

D is also for Ducks...the Oregon Ducks to be exact.

Oh yes, college football season has begun!! GO DUCKS!!

So what does D look like at a game??

Well it was a blow out....Ducks won 72-0. Some say it was boring but I am ok with that kind of boring. Nice to have a day where all the numbers are going our way :-)

How long was the baby blue tail skink my boys caught today?

exactly two test strips long!

Today was the start of College Football Season (yes, capitalized) It is a huge part of our life as we have season tickets. More on that later....

So what this means is that we are bringing D on the road every time there is a game.

extra sensor for Dex-check

scale-check

Well tonight after a wonderful game (72-0), Dex told me I forgot one thing that I can't just run to the store and pick up....his charger! GRRRR!

As my hubby said, we lived years without a cgm, we will be fine for a day or two. True. I probably need this break from Dex anyhow.

muffin muncher

Finally got a zucchini from our garden. The dang squirrels have been eating off the blossom ends all summer (besides it has been so cold) that we haven't gotten any until now. So I decided to make some zucchini mini-muffins.

Well, I should know that if my little 2 year old disappears and is quiet, it's time to worry. Turns out he was in the kitchen. Apparently they were good muffins cuz this is what I found ....

a little bite out of each muffin (and a few completely gone!)

Brinner

So I LOVE breakfast...pretty much all of it. Waffles, eggs, french toast, oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, bacon, sausage, bagels, muffins, you get the point. So the idea of brinner (breakfast for dinner) always makes me happy. Tonight we had pancakes. Yes, pancakes, full of quick acting carbs. So even though we don't use syrup but whipped cream instead, it still adds up to be about 90g for all that Bryce eats (best guestimate of course) We have the I:C ratio figured out...for morning. And boy it sure didn't relate to night time pancake consumption. Instead of a quick raise like we get in the morning, Bryce's bgs kept dropping and dropping. Juice box, cookie, couple handfuls of raisins...and turned off his basal! We eventually got him to 145. Still a lot IOB (insulin on board-the amount theoretically still working) Been holding steady there for a while. Oh, but Dex just called...348!

HELLO REBOUND!!

Ergh!
