Highs and lows
I just want to rant right now...
So, this weekend my husband and I were up in Northern California for our niece's confirmation. I was her sponsor. We had a lovely weekend, hanging out with family, watching basketball, drinking beer (just a few for me) and relaxing! I had a couple of outrageous blood sugars due to pizza, Mexican food and no exercise (it poured the whole trip).
Back to work Monday and I was still running a little high, but nothing I couldn't correct. I noticed my humalog looked a little cloudy, so I started a new vial last night. I've still had a few weird highs. Two hours after lunch today I was 213 mg/dl, even though I did 1-2 units more insulin for lunch than I'd usually need (knowing that I've been high and not being happy about it!) I gave myself 2 units of humalog our of sheer frustration!! So, I'm doing the mail this afternoon and feeling low... sure enough at 4:30 pm I tested and was 48 mg/dl! Opps! Didn't really need 2 units to bring it down!
I guess I'm realizing that those carefree, throwing caution to the wind and eating what I want, drinking what I want and not exercising, weekends are not going to be apart of my life! It's not so much the days of relaxing that do me in, but they can lead to a high streak (or as my husband called it, a "tailspin") that is so frustrating!!
Now I'm off to read for a few hours, then to the grocery store... the schedule I have to keep for the next 6 weeks in order to get all my school work done is insane, literally, I might go insane!
