They say sleep affects blood sugar, but I always thought that meant it would make it higher.

My experience yesterday makes me think it’s more about stability? I was in range all day, but the pattern was like a continuous sine wave.

It was a high stress day, so that might have thrown the results a bit? I guess I can’t really rely on anything to be predictable, really.

@BobWilliams Sorry to hear about the continuing sleep trouble, Bob. Hope it goes better today .... Sending good thoughts/vibes your way.

@BobWilliams

Type 1 or 2? Me is 2, I find high is always the problem, never low, so far.

@jpaskaruk Type 2. It was really odd. I was grateful it was in range, but the most fluctuation I’ve had.

@f Thanks, Fahim! This one was by choice, we had to be at the hospital by 5:30, but it sure didn’t make it easier. I’m getting too old to be this tired, lol. We will rest up today. Hope you have a good one.👍

@jpaskaruk here’s the pattern…

@BobWilliams @f

I don't monitor remotely as much as I should, because it clashes with my executive dysfunction and creates horrific daily anxiety when I inevitably miss stuff. I eventually just said "I know what I need to be doing/not doing, and whether I do that is what actually matters - not whether I can do this tracking and monitoring at a level I have never been able to sustain about anything."

@lakelaur does better, some days it does seem random, or unconnected to physiology at least.

@jpaskaruk @f @lakelaur That’s really interesting to me. I struggle with that too. Sometimes I wonder if blood sugar plays into the executive issues.

@BobWilliams @f @lakelaur

For the record, I do not recommend this sort of acquiescence except in fairly extreme cases. I don't know if I count. I've never been diagnosed with extreme anything, but I've definitely been accused of it. :>

@jpaskaruk @f @lakelaur I realized I might have replied to the wrong post on this. Were you talking about sleep or blood sugar?
