Last night, me and the family went out for a Mexican dinner. There is a little place not too far from our house that I like to go to. Not quite a restaurant but not really fast food.
 

Anyhow, I ordered what I always have and bolused accordingly. As of late I have started using the Dual Wave option on my pump to get a percentage of my bolus immediately and the rest over time.

For this particular meal I dialed in the carbs, with 30% now and the rest over the next 30 minutes. As we sat down at the table I saw a large crowd of people enter the place.

With all those orders it seemed our order took forever to come out. I was not in a hurry, didn’t feel low but I did need to refill me drink before the food showed up!
 

While we started eating something happened that I wish happened more often. I got full. Fast. I was halfway done with the food in front of me and I suddenly felt like I could not eat another bite.

I looked at my wife and said, “I hate to waste this food but I am going to make myself sick if I eat anymore.”
 

She questioned if I was maybe not feeling well or felt funny which I didn’t, I was just done.
 

You probably can see where I am going with this. Later on we were watching TV and I started to feel low. Knowing that Mexican food tends to make me run high all evening I was surprised. Then I remembered about taking the full bolus but not eating the full meal.

I kind of freaked out because I had no clue how low I was going. I had taken my CGM sensor off when I got home because it was dead and I figured I would wait until later on to put another one in. Of course something like this happens without it.

All worked out okay. I had a fist full of Starburst candies for dessert which brought my BG up nicely before I went to bed. Let’s just hope this new trend about eating less sticks!
