Dealing with Happy Hour

So let me just list my BG for the day first.
9am 129
1pm 198
4pm 158
9pm 428
1am 131

So here's how my day went. Great start, proof that I'm obviously not having a basal problem. I started Amoxicillin for a nagging cold, which may have been the whole root of my out of control problem. Lunch was soup and some rice and a banana, very calculated.

SO I'm seeing that I really do get a small rise in BG. I don't know if its because I'm not eating breakfast (I'm very doubtful when it comes to dietitian's hand waving), but it does rise in the morning by ~40-60mg/dL.

When dealing with an event that I KNOW I will get high BG at, I always check immediately before and if its a long event, I'll check in the middle. I SHOULD have checked before 9pm, but mom called and I talked her through her first insulin shot as a type 2 diabetic. I know that's pretty ironic. BTW her doctor is way worse than any doctor I've ever seen... seriously.

SO it was the Stout beers (4-5) and chips that sent me soaring, but you can seen that by the time I went ot bed it was doing really well.
