This is a busy week for me as a Catholic deacon, Holy Week. I also teach 7th/8th grade kids on Wednesday night. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening meal times are disrupted. Last night on my way home I saw my BG was in the 90s but decreasing. By the time I got undressed and wearing comfy home clothes, BG was 70 and dropping. Mind you I ate dinner at 4PM and bolused for it.

I ate one glucose tab and should’ve had 4. I then ate a package of peanut butter crackers. Then the rage eating began - I ate a 3rd of a bag of potato chips. BG started to climb finally, slowly.to 170mg/dl at bedtime. I did a correction on top of my pump correction.

I am a bit disappointed with myself. I normally deal with hypos with a measured use of glucose tablets and not giving in to hangry rage eating. I know this always causes hypers and possibly a roller coaster.

Since my recent surgery that involved repurposing a very small part of my small intestine, I have been hungrier than before, eating more food and bolusing more insulin.

I have more BG variability post surgery, with more hypers and hypos. Corrections are slower to bring BG down and food even glucose is slow to raise it.

A big Kudo to Tandem C-IQ. I woke this morning in the low 80s and C-IQ reduced basal holding BG in the 90s for the last 90 minutes.
