I had a 5'2 this morning as well, same as yesterday (not to brag
😎 ). The day before I woke up with 4'3, which is not bad in itself, but it followed a 5 hour stretch in the red zone.
The previous night I had one vodka and 4 shots, and for a light drinker like me, that was too many. It was a mix of peer pressure and the appeal of free drinks
I did not feel bad or did anything stupid but arrived home dizzy and should have probably eaten some carbs before bed. I thought about reducing my basal next day when I saw all the overnight red in my graph, but it was ridiculously small already and I didn't plan to do any exercise all day so went for the previous day dose. I didn't move my ass from the room and still had a hypo. With that and the wine training incident in the same week, I feel I have to be quite mindful about my alcohol consumption...
(Please don't get a wrong idea, this is by no means a normal week of drinking for me!)
Anyway, after the training I was tempted to buy wine but didn't want any more hypos or headaches, so I tried an alcohol-free wine from Tesco. Okay, for some people might be not worth it but to me feels like a treat and can work for people who are pregnant, have to drive or can't mix their medications with alcohol. One of my supervisors brought a bottle to drink in the staff party because she has rheumatoid arthritis.
Picked a Sauvignon blanc, because so far seems to be my favourite style. That and the slightly sweet German whites.
