[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 892223, member: 53162"] Lol couldn't help but laugh - this is so typical of being type 1 !! Nightmare - you would of at least thought you could get a holiday from this, sadly change of routine, heat, different food etc still means being vigilant.. - Firstly how are your basal levels to start with ? Do you have good control at home ? Without seeing portion sizes it's difficult to gauge if you're taking the right amount of quick acting, looking at your high of 22.6 in the evening it looks like sadly it wasn't enough, obviously dependent on if your basal dose was correct to start with. Also protein and fat from the beef and the cheese mousse can slow absorption of carbs, so could take longer to digest hence the prolonged high. Did you drink diet coke from a bottle or was it on tap ? So could you of had full fat by accident ? If you are running high when you wake try and gulp down some water too, to help flush the sugars through your body. Also what did you wake at after this ? Just write it off as a one off as your on holiday, go an enjoy yourself and hope you're feeling better now ;) [/QUOTE]
