This is ridiculous. I measured my blood sugar at 196 mg/dL before dinner, and the inpen app suggested I shoot eleven units of Humalog. I ended up injecting twelve units, then ate my salad. This the reading just now:
What was in the salad?
- one head of heart of romaine lettuce
- 1/3 cucumber
- 1 Roma tomato
- 1/3 can of garbanzo beans
- cooked chicken breast
- 7-8 crutons
- handful of unsalted roasted peanuts
- Kewpie sesame dressing
Not sure how that can spike my blood sugar by 125 mg/dL and it is still rising. I guess I was right for not getting some chicken fingers at Raising Canes on my way back with salad ingredients from Trader Joe’s.
The reading is now 323 mg/dL. I am going to shoot more Humalog.
