When Diabetes Behaves

I took insulin before breakfast around 10.15 yesterday morning. Went on a bus journey after that. Close to 14.30 I felt like I might be going low while sitting talking to someone. I tested myself and my blood sugar read 6.1mmol/l. So I continued with what I was doing without having to worry about my blood sugar. I didn't eat at all while I was away until I was on the 17.30 bus home. It was 17.36 when I tested myself and took insulin to eat though. 3 hours after testing myself and over 7 hours since took insulin and ate anything and my blood sugar still read 6.1! It's amazing. It wasn't even lower. I wasn't very active but still, I hadn't eaten for more than 7 hours when I normally go 4 hours between meals. I jokingly texted the person I was talking to earlier that they must be good for my diabetes because my blood sugar was the exact same as when I tested earlier. Sometimes diabetes just behaves itself it seems. Knowing how it behaved itself could be useful for future journies and activities while I'm away.

 I ate a bar of chocolate on the way home from the bus though, which pushed my sugar to 12.2 (exactly double the previous 2 readings) when I tested before taking my long acting insulin last night.
