The Ascent of Mt Carb

I have a weakness for chicken noodle soup.

I make it myself, home made, and it tastes wonderful.

But the carbs! Each bowl is a carb overload for me - 25 to 30 grams - and of course I must eat at least two bowls.

So I have had my carb filled lunch and am on Mt. Carb with my blood sugars. It's a summit I rarely climb - but here I am on it today. It stinks. I hate mount carb. I hate when my sugars are high. But I have a weakness, as I mentioned, for chicken noodle soup.

So I dial up more insulin, and I wait and test. The numbers climb, did I do my math correctly?

I sense a peak, and so I dial up some more insulin to start knocking my numbers down from the stratosphere. I want to be back in the nineties - but from the stratosphere, we have to use big numbers to knock ourselves back down. Perhaps I will fall too far - so I must test frequently; when the fall starts - I will be able to monitor when I stop falling. Orange Juice will assist me if I go too far.

I love chicken noodle soup.

I hate all the carbs and playing with big numbers.
