How many of you have been confronted with a +200 and want a sandwich? I love to eat. I’ve got a couple of shots present in my system and I’m willing to fix again so I can eat. I think I’ll be OK. The Lantus will take me Into the morning And I’ll wake up with a 125. How many of you would do the same? Ha ha we love to eat.
@Fergie , I don’t know if it’s how my head is wired but I rarely, if ever, want to eat at 200 mg/dl or higher. There have been times I need to get a high bs down fast so I have done a thing (sometimes called “rage bolus”) where I intentionally overdose on rapid insulin and then walk or treadmill until I see a dramatic drop in bs and then “feather the landing” with carbs. I’m quite accomplished in bringing down a 200 in 15 minutes but it could be considered dangerous. Anyway I do think I’m wired differently because I can leave treats in the fridge forever before I decide I want it only to find my wife ate it weeks ago. 
Ps I do love to eat though, and I’ve become a good cook according to my family. Can I ask what was tempting you?

I’d liked your story. I like to hear how people like us are a lot alike in many ways. We manipulate our blood sugars in our own way and have gotten pretty good at it. I’m a sandwich guy. I love sandwiches and soups. So it’s not so much treats I crave it’s just, a big meal sometimes . Thanks for the reply.

Everyone has to decide for themselves, whether or not to eat when high. I just hope when you are bolusing or injecting that you remain very aware of your blood sugar in the next few hours to watch for a low., That is the risk.
