Hi Everyone!!
This is the first time using the forum so it would be interesting on what feedback I get? I'm currently on holiday in Italy with my wife and am having some interesting blood sugars.
A bit about me:
I'm 32 and I've had T1 diabetes for 12 years now and my control has been up and down. I've recently changed my long acting insulin to 2 injections 1 at night and 1 in the morning which seems to be helping with lows in the middle of the night. I have to admit I do like my grub!!! And am trying to cut down on bread etc. I love my football I play twice a week and will be looking to introduce other activities soon as I'm getting slower on the pitch "can't keep up with the 18 year old anymore" lol!! :-( . I work as a sales rep so a lot of my time is in the car or sitting in front of a screen; or I could be on foot around London Town visiting construction sites, so my daily routine is varied.
Now on holiday and have the occasional glass of wine but am sticking to the same routine as when I'm at home with carb counting etc. please see the example and see what you think?
Before lunch 10.3 mmol (10 units humalog)
Lunch, Mozzarella and tomatoes with small bowl of chips shared.
8.7 mmol after lunch
Lots of walking (4 miles) and was extremely hot 36 degrees
10.1 mmol 2 hours before dinner.
Before dinner (10 units humalog)
Dinner, small Bit of bread (white) beef carpaccio and cheese mouse.
Small amount of tortellini pasta
Salmon with veg and side salad
Also had a glass of white wine. Then 2 barcardi and diet cokes.
After dinner and drinks 22.6 mmol had 5 units to correct.
4hours later 10.2 mmol
Went back to sleep then woke with a reading of 21.0 mmol and felt awful????
Maybe I needed more insulin for dinner and drinks and I may have been running high just before dinner?
Apologies for the essay. Be interested to hear your thoughts. Suppose I should get back to my holiday ;-)
Cheers
Anthony
