Yes, yes. Thinking you have most of the variables the same as the last time you ate "that whatever" and this time the trend goes the other way! Nathan had his idea of an awesome Super Bowl, he got to eat all day long, some of it not bolused for, it was strange trying to keep his BS up for hours on end. Had turned up his basal b/c of school, but it is too much for the weekend, going to have to go back to making a separate program for the weekend.

"bottom line is I can't figure out why it changes so much on certain days." I think we all know this one way too well. If only we had insight into the biological reactions that make up these crazy days. control what you can, mutter in discontent at the rest. =^)

My days are more like Natalies, but I do have some flat line days as well, so naturally I try to figure why. I've attributed it to the humalog to novalog switch; eating well and pigging out, exercising more and napping too much, the Packers winning the superbowl and the loss to the Giants this year in the playoffs, stress filled days and sunny days; bottom line is I can't figure out why it changes so much on certain days. I am glad to have this blog to hear others experience the same thing, versus CDEs or non diabetics saying just do xyz and you will have a flat line all the time....

Funny about the CDE, well after he peaked, he crashed. Put the pic in 1-11 hour flatline...you'll see why...

Emily, my CDE tried on a CGM for a few days, just to see what it felt like to wear one, and was MOST disappointed that she never got any arrows of any kind. All I can say is "Poor baby!!" LOL!!

I'm sorry for the outbreak of uparrows that people are having. I cheated and ran 9 miles and didn't eat much as my weight had oozed up a couple of lbs. Afternoon after that was too busy to really eat so I turned my pump down to 33% for an hour trip to the grocery. We had Mexican for dinner, we'd gone to the same place last weekend and I had enchiladas and grossly underestimated the carbs thinking "cheese should be ok?" so I had tacos last night which were 1) extremely tasty and 2) kept BG flat. No margarita though, just a couple of beers. And then onto the couch.

Natalie, you and Nate have matching double up arrows, at 213 for him. Had baby oil on his pod for a change then he showered right after dinner, didn't change pod for +2 hours and we think cannula had dislodged. He had no basal and or dinner's extended bolus then. I'll check on CB during the night.

Oy, definitely a soap opera. Not a fun day, hope tomorrow is better! I think I'm glad your body woke up LOL

Just so all parts of the spectrum are properly displayed: After 2 days, my body woke up and decided maybe something really HAD happened, and it was supposed to do something about it. Low was 108, quite acceptable, but high was 357 -- then it started coming down fast to 146, and then turned right up again and started going right up again to 321. And I haven't eaten anything since 1PM and it's 9PM now! :-)Did I ever tell you I have diabetes?????
