This is a similar pattern as prior days. I won’t have an elliptical tonight, so will likely need to bolus prior to dinner tonight so that I don’t go too high.

My standard pattern of late. BG climbed higher after breakfast/lunch, but ate a lot of nut cereal (2nd helping) and two eggs. Then it dropped back down on its own, so that was encouraging.
I recall waking at one point in the night and believing that my heart rate was high, but this histogram on my watch suggests otherwise. Looks like I was quite stable all night. The lower bound is also as low as I’ve seen it. It is reading 51, so my resting heartbeat while sleeping must have lowered even further. It used to read in the 60’s, and lately it has been reading 57.
Wow, last night’s overnight BG levels were as flat and “prediabetic” as I have ever seen them. I wonder why.
This has become my daily profile. Flat during the day, and peaking after dinner to ultimately come down after elliptical. Hopefully I don’t crash overnight like happened a couple times last night…or at least so thought my CGM which might have been malfunctioning.
Last night my CGM kept going off with low BG level alerts. Either it was a malfunction, or it was the cumulative result of daily one hour workouts. Will have to see how that evolves in the days ahead. I’m eating less than I’m burning most these days.
Yesterday’s BG levels we’re pretty flat until dinner.
It looks as if the sensor itself had a bunch of fluctuations during the night. I don’t typically see my own BG levels fluctuate so wildly without provocation. I am exercising more and more consistently that I ever have before. My heart rate during workouts and while resting have gradually lowered over the last couple months. It seems I’m getting in better shape, so who know what the other unintended consequences of working off my blood sugar might be.
My workout after dinner appears to have held my levels low a couple hours after, even though I thought I might be exercising too soon after dinner to work off the still-digesting food. But I’m at 122 a couple hours after finishing, so it seems safe to head to bed without bolusing. We’ll see what the morning holds.
It seems my levels continue to run high over the course of the day. As with many days of late under Covid19 house arrest, my levels at the end of the day are altogether too high. I’m curious to see how I am in the morning after tonight’s sleep. Better, worse or the same as last night?
