    247 today - I forgot to test right away. It was an hour after I tested today. But I also had more carbs yesterday than on previous days.

    @judyvalentine512 an apple and some peanut butter sounds so healthy, but it always gives me a nice spike if i have it for my evening snack
    Yeah, I think I finally figured that one out Jim. Add that to having it a little too late, and well, the result is a higher number in the morning.

    Today. 6.9 (125). Had an apple, no peanut butter.

    Good morning all! 110 this morning. I hate that I have to take the injection but it does work. I take it at night as my numbers are usually over 200 (despite efforts).

    Ugh. This 80/20 plan isn't working. I eat healthy 80% of the time and allow 20% for an indulgence. Unfortunately, my sugar pays for it the next day. So, better snacking is in order.
    today 10.3 (186).
    Have a good day everyone, and better days ahead.

    Better choices yesterday - was rewarded with a 181 today. @judyvalentine512 - Those bad choices get to me too - wondering if I should plan for just a little more indulgence every couple of days to keep me from flaking out all at once again.

    That's a good plan. For myself, unfortunately, I seem to have no self control. If I mess up one day, it may go on for three. I used to be, when I had small kids, we would have what we called munchy night. My ex would go out to play darts, and we would have popcorn, hot chocolate and watch cartoons. That kept me going until the following Wednesday. I think I will incorporate that again and see how I manage.

    today's FBS 7.5 (135)

    Good luck MrRon.

    225 this morning. No dinner last nite as I was already at 243. No more insulin pen until monday....any thoughts?
  • mrron2u
    mrron2u Posts: 919 Member
    @ConleighS - I'm by no means an expert but I've been told by dieticians that fasting for too long with diabetes can cause next morning FBS to rise as the pancreas starts to create too much sugar/insulin to compensate for the lack of food input. When my sugar is too high I've found eating a carb free meal like meat/cheese and then some exercise like a walk helps produce a better morning reading the next day.

    @mrron2u ... thanks for the information, I had forgotten that bit of info. It was almost 9 by the time I got home and I didn't want to eat that late. Next time I will try the meat/cheese thing..and I have a stationary bike I can ride... I have pancreas issues as it is causing me diabetes that is hard to control as it is.
