Screwed up another Mexican food experiment
August 31, 2006
Tonight was "Meet the Teacher" night. Husband is on vacation so no one was home to take care of dogs. I decided to "treat" myself with my favorite comfort food, El Chico's Chicken Fajita Chimiganga. And beans and chips.
I did an extended bolus -- half my insulin immediately and half over 2 hours. At 2 hours after I was at 179, not bad. BUT at 4 hours after, I was at 330. Yikes!
So it's force fluids and at least it will be easy to get to sleep. I've done a can of cafeine free diet coke and a large bowl of egg drop soup.
The rest of the day was pretty good, though I did go lower than I like before lunch and after I moved furniture.
