I wake up & do all my nebs (except Tobi) then after taking Jazz to school I do my vest. I drink my coffee while nebbing. I eat after my vest.

As a rule I only eat 2 meals a day. Brunch/Lunch & Dinner & then a big late snack.

After I eat brunch I do my exercising. Minimal, but beneficial thanks to Chaggie <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Nighttime is the same except if there is any real break inbetween my nebs & vest is usually for a shower. Otherwise I do one right after the other.

Dinner is hours before my night time treatment so I eat my snack when I get to bed!

My tummy doesn't like to eat right away in the morning. If it is a work day, I get ready, do my treatments/vest, attempt to look pretty (why did I chop my hair off?!), take Lantus and my morning pills/vitamins as I head out the door. I just started on an insulin pump two days ago, so no more Lantus for me! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> My BGs (blood glucose levels) are usually fairly stable, sometimes even rise (without intaking carbs), in the morning.

I usually eat my breakfast on my way or first thing at work, along with my coffee (must have caffeine) which I sip on for most of the morning. If my morning BG was a little high, or if I am having a high carb breakfast, I would take my Novolog 10 minutes ahead of eating to give it a head start in my system before I dive in.

I have been really good at counting my carbs recently and keeping track of my levels (I test usually 7-9 times a day. (My goal is to get an A1C of 6.5 for the health of my lungs) I have <i>not</i> seen a difference in my BG numbers if I have caffeine or not. Although, without caffeine I get a wicked withdrawal headache! I think there are too many other factors that have a higher impact than caffeine on me, like stress.

The addition of Prednisone has made a HUGE difference in my numbers. I've been on it for about a month now, 10mg everyday after a short burst, one day left thank goodness! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> Strange that I find I have better control over my numbers when I am on Pred though even though my insulin doses double. When on Pred, I made sure to take the pill right when I would take my Lantus shot (in the morning otherwise I would forget it), which I found really important in keeping my baseline BG down.

I don't usually have/make time to exercise unless it is right after work. Why does work seem so often to get in the way of taking care of myself?! Ack! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
