A happy day! : )

It's just one of those days. You take your CGM off, and you end up with a low blood sugar. Sheesh! Even though I only went down to 59, I still felt horrible. My head hurt and I felt dizzy. My stomach hurt, and I started shaking. When I got home from my theater class I was 113, so I ate dinner (a basil quesadilla - yum!) - 19 grams. Then I had a french cake from Starbucks - 11 grams. I bolused correctly, but soon I felt really low. But when I tested I was 71, which isn't really all that low. So I ate a bag of chex mix - 11 grams. I tested again a few minutes later - 63. How did that happen! So I ate a bag of pirate booty - 19 grams. And now I'm waiting and hoping that my stupid bg will behave!

I had a lot of fun today. I spent the day with my best friend. We went to art camp, where we made collages. Then we went roller skating. It was a lot of fun. Almost like I didn't have diabetes for a change. I wasn't thinking about it, I was just having fun. We even had Taco Bell for lunch, and when my mom saw my numbers for the day, she was super impressed because I stayed between 80-150 all day! All by myself!

Then I went to theater and home. My mom took off my CGM to put a new sensor on. We checked my blood sugar and I was perfect - 113. I took a nice hot shower, and ended up in the 70's. Thank you hot water.

But overall it was still a good day.
