• My early morning BG taken at 5.45 a.m. was 165 (9.15) but when I took it again at 9 a.m. it was 127(7.0). However, in the evening it was 63 (3.5). I was feeling the low BG and I stabilized it with a glass of milk
• I walked 10 KM (6 miles) today at the UMaine Rec Center gym. I think I will stick to 10 KM each day; doing 15 KM is a bit too ambitious for me
• I did my usual in-house exercises including some yoga exercises; I also did some alternate nostril breathing
