My blood sugars are still all over the place! Last week I was helping out with decorating our son's flat. It's amazing how much exercise is involved in preparing and painting. I was up and down -standing, reaching, bending down, squatting, sitting on the floor, and getting up and down on a chair to reach the high bits. It's amazing how much the exercise affects my BS!
I am getting to know how my insulin works now. I tend to have a very low carbohydrate breakfast and inject either 8 or 10 units of Novomix 30, depending on how much exercise I think I am going to take. Last week, I woke with BS mosttly over 7mmol/l, but only 1 day over 10. I had a muesli bar every morning about 10.30 -11am, with a carb value of approx 10-12g, along with a milky coffee. My BS still went low by the end of the morning! I definately need to have something else to eat during the morning if I am exercising and/or have less insulin.
It's just gone low again now because I have been out on my bike this morning doing my errands!
I usually have a low carb lunch, either salad and cheese or homemade veg soup, plus berries and creme fraiche to follow. If I eat anything carby in the afternoon my BS rockets up to the teens. On Monday I had been out shopping and had a low carb lunch, then on the way home shared a 9 Bar. My BS was 14.3 before dinner! I must admit I try to snack on nuts and cheese in the afternoon and avoid the carbs. This is the time when my rapid insulin is going down, until I inject again at dinner time.
