Friday was a rough day for range, with no lows at all (0.0% under 70) but nearly 45% of readings above 180 mg/dL and an average of 183 mg/dL. After the new sensor came online around 1:10 AM, readings climbed through a data gap between roughly 7:35 and 9:13 AM (likely sensor warm-up) and resumed already elevated, peaking at the day's high of 295 mg/dL around 9:28 AM. Glucose eased back into range through late morning, bottoming out at the day's low of 100 mg/dL — still comfortably in range — around 10:48 AM. A big dinner-hour carb entry (45g) around 7:49 PM sent glucose climbing again through the evening, and readings stayed elevated in the 200s–260s from roughly 9 PM through the end of the day, still at 227 mg/dL at the 24-hour mark.
Sleep the night ending Saturday morning was solid: 7h 43m total with a sleep score of 82 (bedtime ~9:34 PM, wake ~5:58 AM), driven by strong deep and REM sleep. Readiness came in at 72, held back mainly by a low recovery index (34) — likely reflecting Friday's glucose volatility — despite a strong HRV balance (90). Friday's activity was excellent by contrast: 15,768 steps and 920 active calories, the day's activity score hit 93, with sedentary time around 10 hours.
A golden cage is still just a cage.
