I am full!

A small bowl of cereal and a glass of juice. I don't want to eat to much, because I want to save room for the big meal.

A few hours later I have few snacks to keep me going until the big meal.

A scoop of mashed potatoes.
A scoop of green bean casserole.
A scoop of dressing.
A scoop of another dressing.
A scoop of cheesy corn.
A roll.
Some gravy and a little turkey.

Round two:

A roll.
Some gravy and a little turkey.

Time stop and figure out how much insulin I need. I take twelve units. This is twice the amount I normally take for a big meal. I am full and now it is time to sit back and let my stomach do it's job.

A piece of ice cream cake.
A piece of pumpkin pie.
A cup of coffee.
A piece of pecan pie and six more units of insulin.

I am really full. I have to stop eating. No more for the night.

My CGM alarm sounds at 2:00 AM. My BG has spiked to 300. I do 3 more units of insulin.

5:00 AM, the CGM alarm is going off again. My BG is sitting at 240. Three hours after my last Humalog injection, I think it is safe to do a little more. I inject 3 more units of Humalog.

I roll out of bed at 8:00 and my BG is 124. I still feel full from last night. It has to be a light breakfast this morning followed by light eating the rest of the day. No more pie, or dressing or mashed potatoes.
