Another High at the Movies

I’m not used to blogging on Sunday’s but I really want to accomplish this one post a day for a whole month thing. I am actually going to try and continue to do this, not just for this month, but for the year, and then forever. You just start to run out of things to talk about. But today I want to talk about a really bad high that I had on Thursday night.

I went to a premiere for the new movie Pirate Radio and tested my sugar before I went in, 170. Last time I went to the movies, I was over 400, so I didn’t want that to happen again. As for the movie, two thumbs up. It was one of the funnier movies that I have seen in a long time, definitely was not expecting it to be so funny, but it was. After the movie I didn’t check my sugar because my meter was in the car and I thought we would just go right home after the movie. Except, my tummy was telling me that I needed some food.

We were up in City Place in West Palm Beach, FL, which is a beautiful place if you’re ever in the area, so we decided to go to Cheeburger-Cheeburger. Now, you can’t go there and not get a milkshake, so I got a strawberry cheesecake with Reese’s Piece’s mixed in, best shake I have ever had. I also had a cheeseburger, not a big one, and some fries and onion rings. I took around 25 unit bolus, but my site was stinging a little when the insulin was going on, so that usually means that something is wrong. When I got home and tested, my suspicions were true. Blood sugar 475.

I changed my infusion set and bolused for the correction, when I woke up I was a 117. I felt like crap in the morning though because when I go to bed really high and wake up low or normal, it just messes with my body. But I am happy that the sugar came back down.

Happy Sunday people.
