My check-in slip for my endo appointment today made me laugh out loud and startle all the waiting people.

You all knew that stands for "follow up," right? ;)

Wait, what?

I like the Diabetes In Control newsletter (which is for doctors) and I like to take the quiz. However, the new one stumped me. Well, in that I didn't see any of the answers I wanted in the list. I did end up picking their "right" answer (after saying, "What? How is that? What?")

Anyone else know what I mean? ;)

So I went to a Seder last night and my daily total was 176 grams of carbs. I went to another one tonight and my daily total was...394 grams of carbs. That's a new record! I should note that last night I ended up high because I forgot that grape juice has 40 g per cup so I did underbolus. Anyway, 394g? Wow.

17 boluses, but I don't know if that's a record because I don't look at that much. With a situation where you eat over a long time, I bolus each time I get food. I saw someone once who seemed to think that was wrong, but in the end I guess they can't argue with my results, even if I can't win them over with logic (why *wouldn't* you bolus each time you eat?).

Good thing I don't eat like this every day, though. Before tonight my average carbs per day was 154g.
