Oh no, I definitely took my insulin. I bolused for everything I ate and I also upped my basal rate a bit during the party. What I didn't do was wear my continuous glucose monitor - I took a little break from all of the alerts and alarms telling me that my blood sugar was high. Sorry for the confusion - I would NEVER go to a party and eat and drink without taking insulin to cover it.

Wow! That's incredible. Definitely jealous of that. If I ate/drank without my insulin I would probably spike near the 300s.

Well done! Chistmas and parties are the occasions I have my biggest struggles with. I'm glad when I'm below 200 at the end of the night! How much&long do you increase your basal rate? Cause my carb counting definitely doesn't do the trick.

A night off is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. I'm so glad you were rewarded with that Christmas miracle BG!

nice! i did a similar thing over the weekend. enjoyed the treats and had fun with friends, and left diabetes on the back burner. it's nice to do that every once in a while. :)

Good for you -- with normal levels in the 70s and 80s, I personally don't think that a single spike would have hurt you anyway. I'm wicked glad that you had fun!!

Yay for you! I agree that ignoring diabetes on a regular basis is insane, but the occasional "vacation" can do wonders. It sounds like you did everything you could to ensure you were doing the right thing, and enjoyed yourself! Congrats.

I just started on an insulin pump and really pushed to get started by Christmas so that it would be easier to enjoy all of the holiday celebrations (including food and drink!)and not have to inject myself so frequently.

A wonderful Christmas miracle! I had one on Thanksgiving. I had my CGM, but I never spiked above 170 -- a definite first. Aren't diabetes triumphs great?
