Greetings fellow teabags, what have I missed. Been away sunning myself on Costa del Sol for 5 days of glorious weather.
Thats the good news (well for me anyway) the bad news OMG by bloods were all over the place. I pretty much behaved and drank very little, most was 2 pints all day and even food wise, had more carbs than normal but not silly amounts.
Went to bed on first night and BG had shot up from around 9 at 11 oclock to 17.9 by 2 in morning. Took a small correction dose of 4 units which should bring me down to around 12. Woke up at 5 am to a ridiculous 2.2. major panic sets in but recovered OK
A few days later had brekkie with a BG of 8.2. Normally brekkie will keep me going for around 3.5--4 hours. About 1 hour later it was 12.3, which is fairly normal before dropping back. 2.5 hours later its at 6.1 and heading straight down 20 mins later now at 4.5 and dropping. Panic again sets in so can of coke plus Mars bar and an hour later its at 6.3 way lower than I would have expected.
It was like that for the 5 days huge highs, up to 19.4 and big lows down to 3 and 4. This messed with my mind a lot and I was very conscious of going low so would tend to go into panic mode and just overdo it even when BG was at 7/8.
Not sure if it was the weather, it was sunny and 22 degress or just simply my overactive mind. I can convince myself I have a low BG, feel all the symptoms even though I could be 12+
Need to get myself back on track for my pump fitting it under 3 weeks
