BMI 24.4, Waist-Height Ratio 0.442

[Pro-Humanist FREELOVER]

- - -

Down to 152.6 pounds, my biggest
one-day BMI drop = 2 tenths, my
waist now 29.25 inches, my waist-
to-height ratio now 29.25 divided
by my height of 66.25 inches =
0.442

Yesterday's diet/insulin:

Mar 2 902 calories
30 fat, 119 carb, 72 protein
6.5 NPH, 8.5 Regular, 15 Total Units

Helped last night by not giving a
higher than needed insulin dose on
my last Regular insulin dose of 2
units at 3:17 PM. Also, despite
being hungry late in the evening,
I resisted eating anything.

By the way, I haven't posted about
exercising in quite awhile, but I'm
still exercising at 90 minutes per
day (indoor cycling). Sometimes, my
30 minutes stops short because my
glucose is going low, so I wait ...

... to see if it will stop, and I
restart exercise if it stops, or
I eat something (like 11 carbs of
raisins) to make sure it doesn't
go low before I finish my 30 min-
ute session.

Twice I've gone an extra 15 or 20
minutes because the glucose failed
to start going down and had in fact
continued going up even after 30
minutes. That rarely happens. Usu-
ally, it's going down after 15 min-
utes of cycling.

It will be interesting to see how
Fiasp ultra-fast insulin impacts my
carbs/exercise. I expect I'll turn
off the basal (as I'll be back on
an Omnipod insulin pump) before ex-
ercise and I perhaps won't have to ...

... ingest as many 'exercise carbs',
but that remains to be seen -if- I'm
able to get Fiasp insulin tomorrow
afternoon. Even though my pharmacist
indicated it's been approved, I'm ...

... insecure about that because so
many entities are involved:

1) Me requesting Fiasp insulin which
requires prior authorization from

2) My endocrinologist, with him as-
signing responsibility for con-
tacting my insurance to one of
his employees, and my endo writing
a prescription for Fiasp, me then ...

3) taking that prescription to the
pharmacy, the pharmacy contacting
my endocrinologist to confirm the
need for prior authorization, my
endocrinologest then having one of
his employees

3) contact my insurance, then somehow
someway someone at my insurance de-
ciding whether or not to give the
thumbs up or thumbs down to that
prior authorization and letting my
endocrinologist know it's been ...

... approved or declined, then

4) My endocrinologist contacting my
pharmacy to let them know it's
been approved or declined ...

5) I think it's been approved but am
insecure about that as my pharmacy
had to order Fiasp and says they'll
have it Monday after 2 PM.

I don't for the life of me understand
why it's so hard to get an FDA-approved
insulin - seems to be some legal loop-
hole present in the pharmacy industry
to make it difficult for individuals
with Islit to get newly FDA-approved
medication.

Why that is, I have NO idea. It's as
if the pharmacy industry doesn't trust
the FDA or the FDA intentionally makes
it hard to get newly approved medica-
tion because the FDA is insecure about
their approval and wants to slowly ...

... make it available to reduce the
impact just in case they've made a
mistake in approving it.
