Wish I could run. Sciatica and Bursitis keeps me just walking. Most of the time.
When, on rare occasions, that I know I am going to be getting some exercise, I always carry Smarties candy rolls with me. Each is six grams of sucrose and metabolizes into blood glucose very fast. Same ingredients as pharmacy glucose tablets, and 1/10 the price (5# bag at Amazon).

Hi,
After having my freestyle libre for a year I think I have figured out why My body reacts inconsistently to insulin. I can eat something with a lot carbs like the cake you mentioned and take the bonus insulin which at the time seems to work, but the next day it is hard to keep my bg stable. I think when we eat something sweet we bolus a high amount of insulin and it triggers the body’s insulin resistance so the next day the body doesn’t respond as well to the insulin.
