I’ve been doing a lousy job of getting enough sleep this week. So, as I’d expect, my levels are more insulin-dependent than they might be if I were well-rested. The profile from yesterday shows that I needed to match bolus insulin to carb intake to keep myself in my target range.

I did walk on the treadmill as I computed in the late morning. That kept my blood sugar level.

Walking helped keep my BG level. My bolus pattern was pretty standard. My dosage of basal insulin before going to bed was good. I might have even gotten away with one fewer units?

As I prepared for bed (lights out at 1 am…), I took stock of my overall condition and decided that basal insulin overnight would be a good idea to keep my levels even. I injected five (5) units. Seeing how the levels declined overnight, I might have been able to get away with just four (4) units and maintain the level even. But because the levels didn’t drop too far, five (5) was probably the right call.
