TuDiabetes

It all started when I woke up... 40 minutes late. Because I was being rushed out of the door, I didn't have a chance to get my normal breakfast of (gasp) cereal and a granola bar. I get to school and ate their breakfast. Their biscuits seems to change every time I try to take insulin for them. 6u of humalog will either send me to 350 or drop me to 50. Today it dropped me to 43, twenty minutes before lunch. I correct and bolus for lunch and I thought I would be good for the rest of the day.

But alas, no. School ended and I checked again, 284... I guess I overcorrected the hypo a little. I was considering taking 2 units of humalog, but decided  against it. Good thing I did. After track practice (and not a very hard practice either) I was at 48! I had no insulin or anything, and yet somehow i drop 240 points in 2 hours.

Now I'm at home, eating a box of raisins, and hoping to get my bg back to normal and keep it there.

Have any of y'all had frusterating  days like this?

Yep! Some days are like a roller coaster.

Sometimes it's best just to put it behind you and start a fresh day tomorrow!

Glad to hear it's better. i have days like this all the time. You correct a low, and it makes you high, you correct that high, and you go low again. it's so aggravating, i know especially with a busy schedule including track practice, or any of the other fun things we choose to be a part of in school.
