Runner,To be honest I am totally freaked out and not sure of what to make of it all ... I went to bed and my BG was 76. I woke up this am and I was at 86.
1) I think the point to focus on is what your target BG was and whether you were meeting it. If those BG levels are what you want, is there a problem? Beyond the stress.
2) you're still taking insulin - long-acting insulin? - once a day, 3u?
3) Those BG levels are beyond Bernstein's, aren't they? His are 4.6/83 fasting, 5.2/93 after meals. So do you want to stick as low as that using insulin, or should you consider stopping the insulin and seeing if you can keep inside the Bernstein targets with diet and ex alone?
4) I certainly and probably all of us feel with you about the stress load. Recently the BG thing has come to dominate my life. Every time I get a bad BG result I am worried and disturbed, and I can't wait till the next chance to do well (be teacher's pet, as it were). It's tiring and worrying. That's quite wrong, and I have to stop it. I have a life to live.
So - I have a feeling you're too close to all this. Try and back off for a couple of days. Do the stuff, but just record it and try not to react. It's all good.
