| | | 81. I like that number, but it is a drop from last night, and also yesterday I dropped some overnight. I'd rather stay steady or raise 20 points overnight I think I might do a slight decrease on my overnight basal. I love having a pump so that I can do that.

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.

| | | 78 . . . a little after 4 a.m., when I got up to go the bathroom. Realized that I felt hungry, and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and had breakfast.
