diabetic dilema

I'm diabetic (type 2), but I can't say I have this problem. HOWEVER, what I did find was a nice work around using google that lets me search for groups dedicated to a particular topic.
I am active in a type 2 diabetes support group, but I'm guessing you may be type 1? Anyway try the following links to see if there might be an MFP community to plug into that fits your needs.

Hi,

Am T2D from the past 4 years. There's been a lot of research around about reversing the T2D with Fasting (Intermittent Fasting). I've been doing this IF and am very successful in controlling the BS levels without any medication now.

The only safe thing to do is bring up that number with a fast burning carb. I imagine you eat-retest so try and time that reasonably. How about finishing up with a protein like a hard boiled egg? I find that helps even out the sugars for the rest of the day

If you end up going over at breakfast, do also eat a reasonable lunch and dinner. It does not pay to try and "make up" the day later.

My boyfriend is type one and if his sugar level ever goes low it's always in the early hours of the morning, not such a nice wake up call for me! Anyway he is very very lucky that he can actually go down to 40 or sometime lower and still be walking, but beginning to not make sense lol! I would agree with what people above have said any reduced you night time insulin a little, I am no doctor through.

Another option, besides talking to the doctor and maybe having them adjust your meds is drinking a glucerna ( diabetic supplement With long acting carbs and healthy vitamins). My mom started mfp a month or so ago, and shes had two episodes of hypoglycemia- scary! Her doctor took her off insulin (yay!) and reduced her metformin and she still gets borderline low. But if she drinks a glucerna in the am or before bed, her levels stay stable without any highs or lows. I REALLLY recommend it! Also, try spacing out your meals so that you have consistent levels and definately check your bs before bed. As a health care worker, ive seen way to many hypoglycemic episodes in the middle of the night.

Also, make sure you have some quick acting carbs/sugar around just in case. Mom keeps those smaller individual containers of OJ around just in case. They also make that quick sugar gel for emergencies.

But you should really get your docs advice, as every person is different. Good luck! I know its scary but it is possible to find a healthy balance.
