I got really aggravated this morning because at 9:30, my blood sugar was 198.
NOW, I kinda of forgot I didn’t have cardio scheduled today, and was still on that basal schedule. So that’s part of the reason it was high I think.
So I decided to give the full correction instead of giving myself 50%. This would have worked if I had brought and eaten my lunch, or if I had eaten a snack, but I’m trying to lose weight. So I didn’t.
The good news, is that I am really insulin aware. I felt the drop from 198 to 112 and I even felt the drop down to 108
Now here’s the weird part, I started having problems with cognitive functions — we were writing a test. So I remembered that there were tootsie rolls in the next room, but I forgot I keep about two bags of lifesavers in my emergencie supplies. I did remember after I got the tootsie rolls. I also took a glucose tablet because they dissolve faster. It didn’t take long to get the sugar back in my head and working again, but it’s interesting how quickly cognitive functioning is impared, and how quickly you recover. Takes just a little bit of sugar to tip it either way. I ended up with a glucose, lifesaver and a tootsie roll — real fast, fast, and regular release sugar. A fix, and a prevention. An hour later I was fine and running at 112.
