10.2 What Is an Event?

Did you take a walk after lunch today? Did you go to happy hour with your co-
workers and have a beer? Are you feeling stressed? Did you catch your kid's
sniffles? How much insulin did you take for your dinner meal? These are all
Events that can raise or lower your blood sugar.
