@mrron2u @jburke141 @kithrobyn @Lizzym911 excellent numbers
@cloudy68 excellent. You are bringing your numbers down, that's excellent. I think it will get to the 110s and then 100s and then 90s no doubt: diet and working out are the best secrets
106 today

148 for me today, not exactly where it should be but a big improvement from usually being way over 2000
-
86 for me today! A little low for me but I will take it.0

94 this morning but I woke up at 3:30 am and I was 60 and didn't feel well so I got up and had some cherrios. .0

148
45 minute walk before breakfast, tomorrow I'll check before I walk
Tonight I'm ordering a new bike, a Schwinn 170. I'll be able to wake up
go downstairs & ride in my PJs. What a life...0 -
87 today0

@sherr1335 - yes - 148 is way better than over 200! Hang in there - 2 months ago I was in the low 200's and now I've been under 100 all of September!
@jburke141 - nice - 86 is really good!
@Lizzym911 - 94 is really good! It sucks to be woken up with such a low though. I hope you feel better now. The effect of a Blood Sugar Low seems to stick with me for a while.
@KenSmith108 - aw man! I hate it when I forget to test first thing! The bike sounds awesome!
Happy Wednesday all!

@lizzy911 that would suck big time. Exhausting during the day never mind at night!
@kensmith108 biking sounds fun especially in your Jammie's
@mrron2u awesome job! I wish I had woken up to that number. For me 77 is a tough spot to be, I will probably be fighting lows all morning.0 -

@KenSmith108 Sorry about that. But, it's the slow working through it all that matters. I actually am a strong believer in having a good exercise machine at home! I bought a good elliptical and have to say it worked for the hefty money I paid for it. It is just amazing how much easier having a good machine at hime make things.
@mrron2u continuing the good streak, excellent.
@jburke141 what can i say, you're doing awesome
@kithrobyn such good numbers!

98 today - up a bit from yesterday but still under 100. I think I've seen this conversation before, but does it matter which finger you use? My 2 normal victims are getting so calloused that I can't get a dropout of them and I had to switch to a new finger. It doesn't seem like it would matter - but maybe one of my fine T2D peeps would know.0

No, it doesn't mater which finger you use. Keep in mind that the glucose meters have a requirement to only be within +/- 15% of the lab glucose measurement, so, with a lab measurement of 100, the glucose meter can show a reading that can range from 85 to 115 and still be within its required measurement specification.
I recently tested this with my own two meters since I got a new one recently and was also getting a lab test that day and figured I'd compare my meter's measurements (both old & new) with the lab measurement with blood taken at the same time as was done for the lab.
My Lab measurement: 96 (so a valid meter range to compare with that lab value would be 82-110).
My old meter (FreeStyle Freedom Lite): four readings at 85, 105, 99 & 97.
My new meter (CVS Advanced): four readings at 101, 101, 100 & 99.
My conclusion: both my old & new meters are within the required accuracy to the lab measurement but that +/- 15% variability is there. Note: while the CVS Advanced meter looks more accurate here, it too has had a wider range than what was seen during this test (I had been doing 2 or 3 sequential measurements when I first got it to see how variable it was). And yes, my fingers needed a break (i.e. return to normal poking frequency) after those tests due to sticking my fingers on both sides, at the endpoint and on the "fingerprint" surface to get blood for my meter test--my thumbs were the only "fingers" that didn't get poked with a lancet.

I think I'm going to go back to 10 units insulin at night.
I need better numbers. Diet isn't the magic bullet I was hoping for.
I've been reading about leaky liver & it seems to have my name all over it.0
