Jimmi is not all well yet, but he like to take her out anyway. <BR/><BR/>Fido is not a terrier, but a dansk-svensk gÄrdhund - I don't know what that is in English, but maybe you understand it Chrissie?<BR/><BR/>Got to get back to work again. This first day back at work is so busy. I have around 50 samples that I have to handle, so I could definitely use more than two hands! :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928203708923370018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-4784572432654868402007-02-20T11:35:00.000+01:002007-02-20T11:35:00.000+01:00Give Fido a hug!

Definitely the lack of exercise makes a HUGE difference in insulin levels! Glad you are getting better.Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-77095843002226476542007-02-19T10:54:00.000+01:002007-02-19T10:54:00.000+01:00Thanks!

I am actually feeling a lot better today, although I still cough a lot.<BR/><BR/>Chrissie, I usually need to increase insulin when I am sick, but the exact increase differs from time to time. This time it is just about double up, but this probably also covers the fact that I am not exercising like I normally do. The 18-20 km of bike riding that I usually do every day has a huge impact on my BG- and insulin levels, so this is probably part of the explanation to the large increase I have had to make this time.<BR/><BR/>Jimmi is a little better today too. He has had a fever of almost 40 degrees the whole weekend, and yes, usually he is more ill than I am, and he usually takes longer to recover too.<BR/><BR/>Fido, the dog that we are watching, just arrived - she does look a bit like the picture I posted. Maybe I will be able to get a real picture of her during the next couple of days, so that you can all see how adorable she is :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928203708923370018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761706.post-68005231469181739972007-02-18T23:36:00.000+01:002007-02-18T23:36:00.000+01:00Hi Heidi!I hope you are feeling better!Hi Heidi!<BR/><BR/>I hope you are feeling better!Scott K.

Say HI and have fun baby sitting the dog. Does he look like the picture? Very cute! I also liked the picture you had if the "sick girl".<BR/><BR/>Docs always give antibiotics to diabetics faster than "normal people". Haven't younoticed? I agree - I do not get sick often and I seldom get sicker than others, so why do they give us antibiotics so quickly? I usually do not argue. Per is sicker than me. What about Jimmi and you?<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a good book to read!Chrissie in Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556806942193998413noreply@blogger.com
