Can you at least meet me halfway?
Don’t do it Blood Sugar, don’t do it. Come on, let’s be rational here, you were at just 108mg/dL 30 minutes ago, trending downward. How did you get here? 178mg/dL? And rising?!? C’mon man, that ain’t right! All I had was 18 measly carbs, and now this? You were on your way to a low and I helped you out, and this is what I get in return? Trending upward? In the middle of kickboxing? Come on! I’m begging you here. Just calm down – this isn’t worth it! I’m already working out, I promise you, if you just stop there, I’ll work harder. I hit those sprints so fast you’ll have no choice but to level out. Just slow down and relax here. There’s no need to hit 200mg/dL – that’s the one that makes my CGM buzz and holler “HIGH.” It hurts when that happens. Makes me feel like a failure. Especially when you were fine just a few short minutes ago. What happened? How did you get this upset? I had to have a snack to make sure you didn’t get low, and now we’re here? I didn’t even turn my basal down! I just don’t understand what you want from me. I begging you, don’t do it. Don’t hit 200mg/dL.

Any chance you are dehydrated? When my numbers go completely wonky for no reason and I’ve eliminated all the usual suspects (bad insulin vial, bad injection site, illness, etc.), half the time everything is better after I drink a gallon or so of water.
Or, I just don’t eat or exercise for 12-24 hours and get things stable (but hungry and grumpy) again.
