| The graph shows the truth about a common misconception: that a non-diabetics bgs are steady all day. I know a number of people that exhibit hypo symptoms (usually shaky or weak) if they have gone a long time without eating such as skipping breakfast.
Yeah, my problem is my love of carbs too. If I would just be better about bolusing 10-15 minutes for at least a part of the carbs, I'd be better off. I do have my sensor set at 130 now. Started at 200 last August, then 180, then 160, 150, 140 now to 130. For the most part I've seen my spikes stay lower and not last as long. I owe a lot of this to using the sensor on a regular basis. Starting to see the drop in my A1c according to monthly home tests. I now look forward to the first of every month when I can check it again.
