That was quite a hit.

.

Blood sugar was 238, down from 261 waking.  I have been eating keto for going on the second day.  I hit a second, large, dose after the second reading.  I was starting to feel ill.  Almost as if my blood sugar was cratering.  But that couldn't be it.  So I waited for the timer to ring, then checked.  At 71 I think that really was the problem.

It isn't the lowest number I have seen.  And, when blood sugar is more stable it usually wouldn't be a problem for a few more points.  It is both the relative low compared to recent highs.  A drop of 167 points in an hour and a half, plus being 350 or so for several days... big changes, fast changes.

I am avoiding carb tabs.  The spike can be severe, if it doesn't last long.  A tuna sandwich, using keto pita, plus a glass of milk.  So tired from the crash though.  Still feeling a bit woozy.  I want to check blood sugar again an hour after eating.  Then I will sleep.  I have carb tabs up there, just in case.  So tired on top of already being exhausted though.  Later, or good night.

Good call.  Food brought blood sugar up to 91.  In one sense that is still a bit low.  Especially only an hour after eating.  It will go down after this.  I am feeling better, but still plan to go on to bed again.  Better, but not well.  That drop really took it out of me. As mentioned, I keep carb tabs up there, and seem to sense a drop coming.  I won't question it again, after this.  Though, usually, blood sugar rises for me through the night as I sleep.

Good night.
