    90 min after was 4.8
    Quite often my sugar will be lower than my fasting about 90 min after eating my first breakfast...kinda weird.

    8.7 (156.6) It must be from all the starch in me from being a couch potato.

    This is almost always true for me as well! I'm usually 8-10 lower after 1st breakfast.

    5.1 (91.8) fasting and 3.7 (66.6) at 3 hours just before I was going to eat my second breakfast. The weird thing is I am only managed on diet and exercise...zero diabetic meds since April. Not sure what was up with that but it was the nausea and shaking that's the tip off..I eat hearty and have ~ 2000 calories daily as I do some strenuous exercise most days of the week. Hmmm well at least it comes back ok. I know blood sugar swings of any sort aren't good for you. The sweating too!

    Wow! I've been completely off track. Lots of problems getting on MFP w/my smartphone since computer was back in the shape. Today was 111. My A1c jumped a little from 5.9 to 6.2. Doc says not to worry, but it's the first time it's gone up in 12 months. I was hoping it would go down.

    Jane, don't you go out for a run before your second breakfast? That's probably what causes the low blood sugar. Maybe you should eat a bigger first breakfast? Or a snack after your run?

    8.3 (149.4) a little high, but I think that's from late night pineapple.

    Love pineapple but it's one of the fruits that sends my blood sugar higher..I only eat it occasionally now...like bananas...my 2 faves.

    9.9 Another bad day food wise.
    Hoping today will be better! One of the things that keeps me in check is that I want to avoid complications and so that springs to mind when I feel like throwing caution to the wind. Honestly it can be a GREAT way of eating and I have every food group as you know but there is no magic solution. Maybe mention to the dietician that you want to eat too many foods that are just meant for occasions! She/he might be able to look at strategies. I am not sure if you look at my menu...maybe try eating similar? It's based on what the dietician planned for me. YOU CAN DO THIS JUDY!!!! I believe in you!!!!

    Thanks Jane. I go so many days of not being able to eat anything but liquids or bland foods, that when I start to feel better, I do tend to go a little crazy. I've looked at your food diary, and no offence, being the extremely picky eater that I am, I just couldn't do what you do. This heat is a killer for me too. Today will be a better day, and I've put off the dietician appointment too long now.
    Thanks for caring.

    Hi Judy!! I get that and your journey is more complex that most!!! Dietician is a great move I think..especially as yo have unique needs and you are selective about what you eat. I am lucky and eat nearly everything except organ meats and sardines lol!! Not crazy about uncooked Kale but I will eat sardines and Kale but I not heart or tongue ACK!! Lol!! I hope you have a good day and keep slogging away!! Once you have your surgery I hope things will be more settled for you!!!

    Hi gang, last two days were 117 & 118 so I was surprised today with FBS 94. I've never seen it that low.

    91. It's been pretty stable like that for a few weeks now. Got back on track with low carbs and lower calories.
