Julie’s Blood
Sugar Changes Throughout the Day

After an overnight
period of not eating, Julie's blood sugar is relatively low at 70
milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). After breakfast, which included
peanut butter toast, a banana and milk at 7:30 am her blood sugar
went up to 110 mg/dl. Julie had a math test at 9: 00 and did very
well. Her blood sugar gradually decreased until lunch at 11:30.
Julie ate a
turkey sandwich with low fat chocolate milk, an apple and 2 chocolate
chip cookies. Her blood sugar went back up to 110 mg/dl. Her blood
sugar decreased a little bit until she had a snack at about 2:45
pm. Julie had the snack because she knew volleyball practice would
be strenuous, and she wanted to fuel her muscles. Julie's blood
sugar dropped pretty quickly by 5:00 pm because of her workout.
For dinner she had a hamburger on a bun, peas, a side salad and
low fat milk, which caused her blood sugar to go back up. There
was another decrease until her snack of vanilla frozen yogurt with
strawberries at night which brought her blood sugar back up again.
After 10:00 pm we can expect her blood sugar to gradually decrease
to 70 mg/dl until breakfast the next morning.
