It’s Thanksgiving Week and I figured I’d throw out a few “thankful for” posts, as that seems to be a trendy thing to do this month.

Anyway – I’ve been MIA for the last few days because the hubs and I decided to go see Disneyland all decked out for Christmas. YAY! We had a very expensive enjoyable weekend to ourselves while admiring how The Mouse does itself up for the holidays.

It does quite nicely actually.

My blood sugars were tricky, in that you are generally surrounded by not-all-that-healthy food choices but you are active for up to 8 hours per day.

This is generally what I saw an hour to two hours after a meal. (That high trend was me skipping breakfast and getting on an airplane at 8 am.) So – a bit scary to see that slight downward trend with 5-6 active units left in your system and no typical post meal spike present. (I think I might have had one high alarm the entire trip.)

So I used the temp basal setting on my pump a lot this weekend. It didn’t always work and I still hung out in the 60s and 70s. But – it saved me from a lot of grief during some of my middle of the night alarms. (Because, exercise can effect BGs long after the day is done, y’know.)

On the flipside, I got to enjoy a Dole Whip, half a churro, and gingerbread bengiets without any spikes in the sugar. (Or insulin for that matter!)

Oh and this:

Certainly not a Disney breakfast without one of these. YUM!
