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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I figured I’d do one serving and be fine, but wasn’t. Ended up with the whole bag. Bolused correctly, etc.<\/p>\n
Then that evening ended up by the grocery store and spotted potato chips, and ended up eating a whole bag.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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”. <\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
