Why I Was Having Repeated High BG Levels

When I was first diagnosed, I remember keeping a detailed log book of my blood sugar and insulin. My parents and I recorded every meter reading and how much insulin I took at each injection.

Yesterday I was at my grandparents' house, and I had quite a few diet sodas...about 3. I was taking insulin for my all the food I was eating, and I was correcting my BG as needed.
