Blood Sugar (no) Sex Magick

Blood Sugar Monitor - Mine is named Twoey, after Audrey II
My body has become a finicky little wench - I checked my blood sugar last night before dinner, and it was way too high (like 398 too high).  So, I compensated by upping my regular insulin, because I'm really trying to get my A1C down.

Then... spent about an hour last night in bed, dealing with cramps up and down my legs, and when I finally got up and checked my blood sugar, it was at 56.  (Normally is 80 to 120, but personally, I start feeling woozy if I drop below 100).   So I had a quarter of a piece of naan to bring me back up quickly (quick carb) and 6 chocolate covered hazelnuts (fat for long-acting glucose because I didn't want to crash again - because if I was going to feel bad, I was going to compensate with something I like, damn it.) At any rate... we are talking somewhere in the region of 30 carbs, total... wake up this morning, and I'm at 256.

I have absolutely  no idea what the hell to do at this point, other than scream at Twoey and call her a liar...
