The Froo-Froo Bits:
This started out a good day. Got up & moving & out the door on time. Did what I was supposed to most of the day. Had a GREAT afternoon walk. Unfortunately, in my measuring zeal, I didn't bring enough food for the day, and by dinner my blood sugar crashed HARD. As you can see above, it was 52. The doctor's don't much like it going too far below 70. That killed the evening. I ate dinner & passed out, because that's what I had the energy for.
Its a balancing act, and some days are more balanced than others. In my experience, its the days that are almost perfect that bite you in the ass - at least where diabetes is concerned.
