So I’ve gotten into this bad habit of bolusing for my meal the morning after a night of drinking (the trend seems to be Friday mornings), without taking into account my alcohol intake of the previous evening.  And as a result, I start to get a headache and feel crappy in class, and I attribute these to a hangover, wishing I’d thought to take an Advil.  Only when I start to get really uncomfortable (read: symptoms other than a headache) do I think that Oh, maybe I should check my blood sugar.  And oh hey, that happened this morning, and what number did I see?  47.  And two weeks ago?  43.  Not fun stuff.  It doesn’t help that for both of these occurrences, I haven’t had any food on me to treat a low with.  That’s happened on a couple other occasions, too – not good.  So I had to leave class once (which I don’t like doing in the first place because it draws attention) to go to the vending machine for a snack, and today, since I didn’t check my BG until I was out of the building, I had to wait about 10 minutes while I walked across campus to the next building I had class in. ughhhh.

The part that frustrates me most is the fact that it totally could have been avoided, if I had just thought about it – although it is decidedly more difficult to SWAG a bolus after drinking because it throws a whole new bunch of variables into the already populous mix.
