Today’s data is an illustration of an overnight soft landing that differed slightly from yesterday’s.
In brief recap, I bolused at breakfast, dropped into the 80’s as I headed to lunch with a colleague where I had some running around to do before lunch, but not enough to call it a workout.
Lunch was a kale Caesar salad with chicken, so it was relatively low-carb. My levels climbed but stayed well within range. I snacked as I started preparing dinner, and then we had veggie burgers with 2g of net carbs per patty. I ate some broccoli, salad, and other condiments. It was a relatively low-carb meal, but I could see that the curve was climbing fast, so I bolused three units and went for a walk around the block. It took a while, but eventually the BG curve started to turn down.
At about the 3 hour mark, the downward curve leveled out. As I went to sleep, I didn’t want to drop the curve too quickly, so I bolused only the long-acting insulin (5 units). The night came in with a soft landing, ending in the 80’s by the time I woke up. Most of this is interesting as compared to yesterday (see prior day’s post).
