I don't get this

[grace girl]

Okay, so DH and I are painting the living room and such this weekend....Needless to say I've been working non-stop, and quite a lot more than a normal day. Friday, the first day, I was chasing lows all day, but I wasn't suprised because I was working so hard. I kept it in check.
Then, Friday night my bs went up 70 points over night, which it never does. Hubby (he pays attention, listens to all my D chatter) decided that it was probably a liver dump, like I've experienced when doing yard work and didn't eat a snack. Okay.
But Saturday, working just as hard as I did Friday, I chased highs all day long!
There were no obvious reason for all these highs, and this morning it's back to normal. I made sure I had a decent snack last night, which I imagine helped with that.
Do ya think the highs saturday were related to working so hard....just continual liver stuff? I'm thinking I can learn something from all of this, just not exactly sure if I'm seeing it right.
We've now decided to paint the entire house over the next few weekends :eek: :eek: So, perhaps I can learn something to make this a little easier next weekend! Any thoughts??

I hate to say it, but I don't think you'll ever know the real reason for why this happened... It could be due to a variety of things and we could sit here all day trying to figure it out, but it would be just wasting time.

I can definitely relate, though, the past WEEK, I've been dealing with unpredictable blood sugar readings and have been extremely frustrated with things. I know it mostly may be due to stress, but again the trigger is something that I probably will not be able to identify for sure.

I think the best thing you can do in that situation is to remain calm and just treat the number whether high or low and move on... It sounds easy enough, but it's actually difficult. I tend to get real obsessive when I feel out of control. It's better just to deal with it and move on :wink:.

Anyway, I hope things are better now :)
