XP from F14: GD question

Okay, so today was a really messed up day. My schedule was all jacked up-my shower was today, so instead of eating meal-snack-meal-snack-meal-snack, it ended up more like meal-snack-snack-meal-meal-snack. The second snack was way more sugar than I should have had (who can resist delicious baby shower cake!) but after my 2nd 'meal' my sugar came back at 102. We had a late dinner, and my 'normal' 8:45 insulin shot wasn't done until almost 1 hour later. So, 1 hour after eating, my sugar came back at 190!
My biggest question is... Should I be super worried? It is really high (my highest to date has been 162-and that was unusually high). I am thinking it is partly due to the messed up schedule of the day, partly because my insulin was late, and partly because of the bad foods I ate today. My plan (for now) is to have a high-protein low carb snack (more so than normal) and check sugar again before bed to be sure it's going down. Any other ideas? I don't anticipate this lasting long-I notmally do really well.

Drink a bunch of water and try to go for a walk if you can. Check again and see if its gone down at all a bit before bed.
Also, just a heads up from my experience- your numbers might be a bit off tomorrow. I know when I have a bad number my readings the next day tend to be slightly elevated.
That 190 freaked me out-I hadn't seen one so high before! I will definitely be watching what I'm doing a little closer from now on!
