Ecstatic with a 6.5 this morning.
I lost control of my eating last night after taking the Freelander to feed the GGs because my body ached all day yesterday. That felt like cheating and I also worried about losing the routine I was trying to stick to which really helps me mentally. Ended up comfort eating and drinking.... 2 small glasses of G&T, a dark choc ginger biscuit and then I got the jar of peanut butter out of the cupboard and mixed in a teaspoon of honey and sat and ate it from the jar with a spoon, with a couple of squares of 85% dark choc.... maybe 3 squares.... as I wasn't paying too much attention and every now and then I injected a bit more insulin which I guessed might cover it, but all totally flying by the seat of my pants really. Oh and I also ate some chilli and a chunk of blue stilton to try to limit the damage.... Decided on 2 units of Levemir since I hadn't had as much exercise and I am embarassed to say it all worked out far too nicely, with an almost straight line in the 5s and 6s both whilst I was eating and throughout the night. Went to bed with stacked active insulin, so really very naughty in all respects and a very undeserved and lucky result, is all I can say! (embarrassed emoji!)
@eggyg Can't believe you got another one! Yesterday's looked a bit more spikey but some of the earlier ones were safe as houses. Just amazing! If you get one tomorrow, you are officially a diabetic genius! Hope I haven't jinxed you! 🙄 You are right though, the more success you have, the more you want, so it focuses you more. Good luck!
