1. On November 14 at 2 pm, test your blood sugar.
2. Get active for 14 minutes.
3. Test again.
All three members of our family participated. We tested our BGs and played soccer in our backyard:
This shot was taken when I was in goal, at the exact moment that the ball was kicked right into my gut. OOF! Please note the complete lack of concern for my well being coming from L. She laughed. HARD.
Here are our before and after BGs:
L had the largest drop, obviously, but she also had a bit of insulin still on board from lunch. John's post-exercise number earned him the snarky "You got Nick Jonas' favorite BG reading" sing-song from L. And mine? Well, maybe I just wasn't running around as much as the other two. OOF!
Happy World Diabetes Day, Ya'll! Hope you had a good one! :)
First off - YOU ARE ADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I love that you guys did this. BRAVO and Happy WDD!!!!
Shannon, L is so beautiful. I mean, I've seen pictures you post and have observed it all along, but she's just really a gorgeous young lady.
ReplyDeletealso, could you and John be any more perfect for each other? These pictures suggest NOT. (I love your dork faces.)

Very cool... we didn't take part because I have no idea how to make a three year old exercise for 14 minutes!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I FORGOT!!! until now! Glad to see you all participated, makes up somehow for my slackness!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for swinging by and leaving a comment - I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post, and got such a kick out of the pictures. Keep it up! :-)
We did the Big Blue Test, too. Jack's BG was 56 before we started and so we were happy to see him go up to 71. But still I wondered how much higher he would have gone without the activity.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! L is beautiful!
This really made me smile! So touching how concerned your daughter was for you ...!
ReplyDeleteReyna - Oh YOU. No one can rock a pom-pom cap like you, though!
ReplyDeleteBarb - You're so sweet! Dorks who were MFEO, what can I say?
Joanne - Good point! I didn't even think of that!
Anon - Slacker! ;P There's always next year! Maybe we'll have a party. I saw some great ideas on other blogs.
Scott - Thanks! :)
Heidi - Your WDD looked AMAZING! And thanks. :)
Jules - HA! OOF! She cared not!
