Getting use to this...

The neighbors made us pasta last night and when I picked it up I just checked the carbs on the package of whole wheat spaghetti she used. 40 grams per serving, 7 servings per box. Well one serving was twice as much as anyone needed, so instead of 14 servings, we divided the dish into 15 servings, because it was easier to divide, and a much more manageable size of a meal. everything else was chicken and veggies, and salad. And we didn't even offer the bread to her. I didn't have any info on ciabatta bread.

Saying that, after we got her plate ready I checked her sugar and it was a whopping 405! I panicked a little, and Jayson said, that's probably because she just had a snack 30 minutes ago. The norm is that she gets a snack when she wakes up. Well Wednesday is tricky because I have to pick up kids at 2pm, so I didn't put her down for her nap till 230, and she was hungry by then, so I gave her snack. When Jayson got home I left, and sissy woke up and he gave her a snack.. Woops!

I called the Dr but when she wasn't calling back, I decided to go ahead and correct her using the insulin chart. She wasn't hungry for dinner, but wanted apples with peanut butter later, so I gave her additional insulin to cover her carbs. The dr called back and said I did right. Thank God.

At bedtime her sugar was 83, Yay, back on track! I gave her a bedtime snack and at 3am she was 170! I was so happy. She woke up at 103.

So it all worked out, and I learned that any high or low number can be corrected and that's why we monitor...
