3:15pm Blood Sugar – 123

3:30pm Blood Sugar – 86

I’m dropping and heading to the gym.  I’m here to test this system and that’s what I’m going to do.

2 hours later, my blood sugar is 185.

Also getting ready for the workout at 4pm.  We’ll get our first look at how the AP reacts to exercise.  30 minutes on the bike is a little taste of what I need right now after sitting around all day.

12:45pm – 146

1pm – 230

1:15pm – 246

1:30pm – 248

Lunch at 12:30pm – Let’s see  what happens.

Blood Glucose – 94 at 12:30pm

Carb Intake – 100 (Chicken Pot Pie, Veggies, Orange, and 8 oz. Cranberry Juice)

I’m now handing it over to Hope’s Magic Math……….

My blood glucose has been running slightly low this morning after the quick recovery from breakfast.  But this was its first test of low BG.  It stopped dropping and flat lined at 59, has been there for about 30 mins and is now on its way back up.

It’s funny, and fortunate, but I had never had glucagon until this trial.  I was interested to see how I would feel receiving it.  The doses are so small, that I have not felt anything that is typically a glucagon physiologic reaction.  It only has worked to keep my blood sugar from going low, for the most part.  And now that the algorithm has experienced its first hypoglycemic reaction, it will be able to prevent it in the future.  Just by simply balancing out the administration of the two hormones.

Oh, and the glucagon is such a simple molecule that it doesn’t have the time frame problems that insulin typically does.  It is absorbed and works quickly.

Now, almost time for lunch, and I am looking forward to seeing how much the algorithm learned from breakfast.
