Group 7-day waking average?

8.1 for me today, 7-day average 8.6

Been out of circulation lately. Family bereavement which took us to Ireland where for five days I could only have "wake food" (ie party nibbles), booze and sandwiches grabbed on the run, with little or no exercise - plus we left in such a hurry I didn't have my metformin with me. Peaked at 11.8 and now trying slowly to get things back under control.

By the way, newbie question I know, how quickly do you find glucose levels drop back again after a bit of a binge? Do you recover quickly or does it take many days of self-discipline?
 
A 4.5 for me this morning - Amanda 🙂

Sounds like you didn't have enough insulin circulating if you went up to 17. I tested this myself the other day - exercised for about 15 mins 4 hours after injecting (when most of my fast acting would have depleted) and my levels went up by 2 mmol/l, so a longer period of exercise would probably have sent me much higher.

I always found exercise and sport on MDI difficult to maintain, so much better on pump with temporary basal rates etc (sorry for threadnap!)
