Journal Entry:

Recently my CGM has been indicating that my blood glucose level was getting lower and lower. At first I thought that I'm just doing well but last night it got down into the 80s and I knew it was not reading correctly. I got up and used my old finger prick method and it gave results that were substantially higher. So I determined that my current CGM was giving bogus readings. The CGMs I use are designed to be good for 15 days and this one still had two more days but I decided to replace it anyway. I still had two new ones in my drawer so I went ahead and replaced it and I'm now getting accurate readings but I missed out on some sleep. Oh well. I feel good but it's early. I think/hope I'll sleep better tonight.

The new CGM is indicating a GMI of  6.6 which is really good. I'm not sure if that will continue due to the previous low readings but I hope so. We'll see.

CGM = Continuous Glucose Monitor.  GMI = Glucose Management Index 

I'm trying to get my A1C down under 7.0 and that can only be determined by a lab test but GMI is an indicator so I think my A1C is going to be at 7 or under when my next lab test occurs in a few weeks. 

This is all a result of my type 2 Diabetes which I'm dedicated to trying to keep under control.

Come Follow Me:

Daniel 2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

"Daniel, the young boy from a conquered nation—who had been bullied and persecuted for believing in his strange religion—went before the king and revealed to him the dream and its interpretation.

From that day on, as a direct result of his faithfulness to God, Daniel became a trusted counselor to the king, renowned for his wisdom in all of Babylon.

The boy who believed and lived his faith had become a man of God. A prophet. A prince of righteousness.

…[A]re we like Daniel?

Do we stand loyal to God?

Do we practice what we preach, or are we Sunday Christians only?

Do our daily actions reflect clearly what we claim to believe?

Do we help “the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted”?

Do we just talk the talk, or do we enthusiastically walk the walk?"
