First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you!

I’m sure many of you had big dinner plans on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and I would like to know if you were able to control your BGs during this time.

It didn’t work very well for me. We had dinner at our friends house on Christmas Eve and my BG was 12,4 at around 6:00 pm. I injected 6 units of NPH and snacked on munchies. We ate at around 9:30 pm and my BG was 13:mad: So I injected 14 units of insulin because I knew I would eat few more carbs than usual, but when we got home at 1:30 am, my BG was 21,4 😡 😡

I was fine this morning when I woke up (5,6 actually), but I felt crapy all day and I just stayed in instead of having Christmas dinner with some other friends. I feel awful!

I know that some dogs are especially trained to "detect" hypos, but I was wondering if I’m the only one feeling like my pet (in my case, a cat) knows when I have hypos. I’ve noticed that he’s always around me when I feel one. And more than that, he wakes me up during the night when I have one! Is it crazy to think that?
