[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2373276, member: 451727"] One thing to bear in mind when pondering this is that if that means suddenly eating 200 (plus) carbs which is EASILY done with certain types of carbs, it really isn't an 'eat them, wait a few hours' and you're back to square one the next day. I find that if I do have a relatively carby day (even though I can use insulin to lower immediate levels), my fasting level goes up for that day AND the next day and sometimes the day after that! Not by ginormous amounts but enough that I know it is my body basking in the glory of extra (easily absorbed) carbiness instead of what it usually gets (which is not a lot). That's why when we talk about changing our basal (long acting) requirements we have to wait a good 3 days to see if we've pitched it right. So, what I'm saying is that ONE day of carbs can take 3 days until you get back to your normal. x [/QUOTE]
