Yesterday: a decent day of BG (blood glucose) control, all in all.
My breakfast contained enough carbs that I still decided it was prudent to bolus three units after a long post-breakfast walk. This dropped my level into the sub-100 range where even a light nibble around lunch did not lift the glucose curve. Then some initial nibbles before dinner, including some unsweetened peanut butter, lifted the curve slightly. When I had the veggies in curry for dinner, the curve shot up rapidly, and I decided around the time that I hit 170 mg/dl to bolus 3 units since I knew I couldn’t squeeze an exercise session into my evening. That brought it right back down to about 90. I nibbled some roasted cauliflower around 10 pm, but that didn’t lift my glucose curve dramatically. In the end I decided to see what my overnight levels would do on their own, so I didn’t inject any basal, long-acting insulin. Indeed the level rose gradually overnight to 125 mg/dl by the time I woke.
