Labor day weekend Gluttony

So my plan to lay low this weekend was a fail- and my sugar levels were all over the place this weekend.  On Saturday i went to a picnic- my lovely friend Heather made lentil sloppy joes (she's vegetarian) and chose the recipe because it included a carb count for me- super sweet.  I saw all the delicious food and did fairly well in estimating the amount of insulin I would need- 3 hours later my level was 89, and I was ready to eat again.  However, i went to a BBQ of another friend.  While it was fairly meat-centric, I still had quite a few carbs: more than I accounted for since my reading was at 229 at bedtime! Way too high.  I need to ask the doctor if I can have post-meal insulin in these cases.

Sunday I worked out (yay!) and met up with a friend for brunch and retail therapy.  My Huevos Rancheros ended up NOT having tortillas in them, which was a complete surprise.  I had taken insulin based on that assumption so ended up having to order toast to compensate.  The toast came with an AMAZING lemon-zest butter, so it all worked out. Anyway, I was doing really well on Sunday, and counted things out really carefully but had a pretty bad scare in the evening with a 56 blood sugar level.  I tested again and it was 52.  Obviously I ate a sugary snack and everything was fine- but it was still pretty scary.  something similar happened on Friday- I am still trying to adjust to exactly how a work-out affects my sugar levels.  


Today I had lunch with Cecelia & her new roomie: so fun to see her and hear about her NYU transition.  Since I jogged this morning I was careful to make sure I ate enough carbs.  My 2 hour post reading is 109, so it seems like I'm getting better.  I'll be building out my meal plan when I have some downtime in Florida- I'll have it down to a science soon enough.
