Final Dream Tour statistics, revisited
A comment by Kassie on my previous entry pointed out my obvious oversight. I should have included some diabetes-related statistics.
| Number of blood glucose readings: | 1934 |
|---|---|
| Average blood glucose reading: | 121 |
| Average number of readings per day: | 8.91 |
| Maximum blood glucose reading: | 366 (August 30, 10:10 PM) |
| Minimum blood glucose reading: | 37 (May 22, 1:19 PM) |
| HbA1c before The Dream Tour (early March 2006) |
5.8% |
| HbA1c (May 3, 2006) |
6.3% |
| HbA1c (July 8, 2006) |
6.8% This was the day I discovered my insulin supply was going bad due to incorrect storage temperatures in our cooler. |
| HbA1c (October 11, 2006) |
5.6% |
| lancets used: | Do people really bother to keep track of this?
I’m a chronic lancet reuser. I don’t really know how many lancets I used, but it probably was a couple dozen or so. |
| Infusion site changes: | I always change my infusion site at least every third day. That would be 72 infusion site changes during the course of the tour. But, with the troubles I was having with my infusion sites in the summer months due to the heat and humidity of the midwest, it was definitely more frequent than that, but I’m afraid I don’t have exact data. |

cool info - thanks for posting!
I’m impressed that the number of lancets was in the double digits at least!
