[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 684050, member: 22572"] I guess it does not matter how long we have had this disease or how much we think we know about it, we are all capable of getting things wrong. I am certainly no exception, as I found to my cost yesterday. Luckily, nothing more serious than a few glucose counts that were outside my usual safety range but still frustrating because I failed to follow what I often advise others to do. In fact, I broke not one but two of my rules: I always advise that meals should not be skipped- I skipped lunch yesterday. I also advise that we should always have plenty of healthy choices of food easily available for when the munchies strike. Our main supermarket shopping day is Saturday and yesterday was Friday afternoon so our fridge looked like an evacuation zone: I think I had the choice of chocolate, figs or milk. It seems that once we put our levels out of equilibrium as I did by going too low yesterday afternoon at 3,8 , they swing the other way and oscillate a bit before settling back. A bit like a plucked guitar string or a pendulum that has been given a shove. My post dinner readings last night were the highest I have seen in a while 8,6 at one hour and 10,8 at two hours. By the time I went to bed these had settled to 5,3 but were up to 5,8 at waking. [ATTACH=full]8361[/ATTACH] I managed to bring my glucose down to 4,7 following a game of tennis and riding my bike to and from the tennis club. Now breakfast. I am not missing another meal; time I practiced what I preach. Take care of yourselves Pavlos [/QUOTE]
