Rolling Spikes & Time In Range (TIR)

So, summary, 13 days at less than 127 and then 10 days of what I'm calling Rolling Spikes around thanksgiving and the holidays; then hope 2 days of TIR from 104 to 126 (Optimum range 70 to 130) dashed with today's mid-morning reading of 140! Four hours ago I was feeling good and proud of my numbers because it worked I was at 110! Now, unfortunately, I feel like a poser on BezzyT2D.com! Why would they want a person that does not have control of their sugars on there sharing with others on how to maintain healthy blood sugar numbers?!? Yes, I know a lot about exercise and nutrition and am able to share that with others respectfully and with compassion! No one has everything figured out and it is a process of communal learning! It's not about being perfect and we're all an experiment of one sharing our journey!

What if I hadn't taken the mid morning reading? What if the early norning reading is the one to hang your hat on? What if the 13 days of excellent readings was based on when I was taking the readings? What if taking a reading in the middle if the night lends a good result (FBS)? What if I was avoiding the mid morning reading because I was out riding during that time (Mm)? What if the best times to take a reading are in the middle of the night (FBS at least 9 hrs.)? After my rest after coming back from my ride (Post XK)? And before dinner (BDnr)? And before bed (Bb)? What if for me the randomness of when I take a reading when my schedule is off is what is causing me to lose confidence?!

I have a lot to think about while I ride and it is time to ride! These and other existential questions are answered by a fartlek, random speed play!
