Man, this sort of sucks…

I had a bad food day on Saturday, and I’m not really sure why. I had 60 minutes of cardio scheduled by iShape and decided as a reward I’d do some pizza. Ate my pizza, bolused it, fine, etc.

Now this might be part of the reason, but I got eaten by mesquitos on Thursday evening doing dog agility so needed to run by a drug store and get something for the itching. It was BAD.

So while I was there, decided to see if they had sugar free Lifesavers — they do, and I haven’t decided if it was worth it. Also spotted Lifesaver fruit slices which I love. Pure sugar.

I figured I’d do one serving and be fine, but wasn’t. Ended up with the whole bag. Bolused correctly, etc.

Then that evening ended up by the grocery store and spotted potato chips, and ended up eating a whole bag.

Between the three items and the rest of the day, did 78 units of insulin and yet the blood sugar was still high the next day.

I’m still seeing the effects. My blood sugar is still slightly elevated, and I’m back firmly to a 10:1 carb ratio. I also stopped adjusting my basal rate — leaving it where it was on Friday. I won’t start adjusting it again until I start seeing lower blood sugars again.

I’ve decided that one way to fight reoccurences of Saturday is to make sure I have small amounts of those types of foods on a regular basis. I think I just went too long “good”.

The only good news, is that it’s been about 1 1/2 week since the last “bad” day. However, it wasn’t as bad. Only around 55 units, not 78!
