Thanks for the many responses peeps. I'm just not used to having no hypos, especially for that long. I'm on day 24/25 now? Not sure, exactly anymore.

For me, I don't usually see numbers above 10, and as you can see (and there are many more not recorded on the sheet) above 13 even. So, that many highs with no lows is freaking me out. Two days ago I decided to not eat anything for the whole day just to see what would happen, a kind of grumpy basal test if you will. I managed to stay well between 4.5 and 6.0 all day, and same for the next day (but I ate as little carbs as I could).

So, I'm trying to stay off as many of the worst carbs (extra sweets and stuff) just to see what happens.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Personally, I also hate to see high PP numbers. As already suggested, try bolusing a little sooner before those difficult meals. And make sure your carb counting is accurate. You could also figure out if protein affects you so you could manage that aspect also if desired. Having good pre and post meal bg every day can be extremely difficult, if not impossible...

Dear folks --

I'm an old lady, but I know what "word up" means!

However, what do "snark" and "bolus" mean?

Thanks!

Bolus insulin is a dose of insulin taken to correct bg or for eating, as opposed to basal insulin which is taken to offset the naturally occuring glucose produced by the body.

Apparently people who don't have diabetes go as high as 10 (and even 11 and 12) after a meal.

This is very true, over xmas, my whole family wanted to see what happened to their bloody sugar after stuffing themselves full of food and booze... and 2 out of the 10 of us were over 10mmol and that’s not including me... i was 14mmol hahahaha.

They are defiantly not diabetic either.
The others in my family liked to show off with their 4's and 5's...

yeah whatever! haha

Good numbers for the Christmas period mate. Keep your chin up and beat the D with a stick.

Can be slighty worring for me if I go along while without a hypo. But its the nature of the beast.
