This weekend was a busy one.

 

We went to a party, a wedding, and a movie not to mention the typical disc golf game Saturday morning and church on Sunday.

 

Most of our weekends are jam packed with stuff and always right there at the very top of the pile is my diabetes. It is always right there on top of everything else. But this weekend was a little different.

 

Usually with all the running around and stuff going on my diabetes tends to get out of control on weekends. I tend to run high because of the bad food choices I make and end up spending the weekend correcting for many mistakes. But not this weekend. 

 

This weekend I even bolused correctly for the popcorn I had at the movies! That is a major accomplishment for me. No lows or scary highs or anything like that. The big "D" just hung out in the background and was, for one of the first times in a long time, predictable.

 

Now what is frustrating is why. Why did my diabetes decide to be good? I was not particularly great at choosing low carb foods. I counted my carbs like I always do. I am thankful my disease played nice all weekend but it irks me as to why this is the exception.

 

It should be that diabetes plays by the rule most of the time and that the unexpected does not occur but once in a while. It is the exact opposite for most of us I think.

 

Do you agree with that or do you have a formula that typically works? If you do please share it with me because I find that I feel like I am on a rollercoaster more often then I do smooth sailing.
