Cured for the day??

Ever have one of those days where no matter what you do, you're just low all day?

I am having one today.
6:00 58 bg 30g of OJ
6:30 not feeling better, have to leave for work, drink 30g more OJ
6:45 Eat a Special K cereral bar 18g
7:15 Decide to cover 30g of what I ate b/c 78g is way to much to not cover!
8:10 56 bg...grrr. Eat 6 Starburst (24g) suspend pump for 30 min.
8:30 66 bg and another special k bar. (18g)
9:00 67 bg suspend pump again for another 30min.
1pm 65 bg 60g of Apple juice (while in line), Footlong sub (90g), and a bag of cheetos (30g) for lunch... (Only ment to drink half the juice, but then I looked down and it was all gone...) Covered for 165g (a nice 20.6 units)

Mind you between 7:45-11am I had 26 five/six years olds in front of me as well. Came home early today b/c of an eye appointmet this afternoon.

I normally cover 1u per 8g. My cartridge is low and needs filled so it's not new insulin. My site is overdue for a change (on day 4 now). I did not do lots of excercise or anything else out of the ordinary yesterday. I am just having one of those crazy days where I am apparently cured. As it usually goes when this happens, I will run high all of this evening and will be correcting like crazy. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

My son has had the odd day like that. Fighting lows all day, then eventually it all catches up and he overshoots.

Actually it works the other way around too. After a day with high BS and multiple corrections, he's almost bound to go low by around bedtime.

I have a day like that about once a month. girlie hormones are wonderful! I dunno if it's estrogen or what, but there's one day a month when I can eat whatever I want, and not have any high bgs.

I love those days. I can eat a ton and still be low. Most of the time it is while I'm working outside all day or I have done 30+ miles on my bike. It usually only lasts a few hours but it is interesting.

It's usually around when I get my period, but it shows itself pretty early in the day, so I know from the morning that I'm on a freebee. Then I go buy icecream.
