This is the highest I’ve been in weeks.

Usually I’m on the hypo side of the spectrum since being diagnosed and since being in my honeymoon period I’ve had relatively good levels (being between 90-120).

Tonight I didn’t really think about taking any extra insulin before eating a slice of my birthday cake and eating a baked potato and a swig of soft drink since I’ve been pretty low all day, being 90 mg/dl before eating. I was wondering why I was getting a headache so decided to take a test and BOOM! 

But being hyper doesn’t scare me as much as hypos do though. I don’t experience them often, but what I usually do if I’m high is sit in the bath for 20 minutes which will bring me down at least 50 mg/dl quickly or I’ll go for a 20-30 minute walk that will bring me down even more at a pretty steady pace (though at this point I might do both tonight to be on the safe side).

It’s times like these that proves to myself that I really am T1D and that it isn’t a huge mix up, and even though I’m in my honeymoon period I still have to think bout my choices (if it’s a special day I should still be considering the sugar content in what I’m eating and bolus for it).
