    Well, we're still climbing-2/20 was 128 & today was 134. I hope my A1c hasn't gone up too. I get results in 2 days

    That's awfully low. Are you feeling okay? Maybe you should eat something?

    Mine is 7.3m (131.4)

    Wow! FBS today dropped to 102. I exercised yesterday & walked more than usual, s maybe that's what helped to lower it.

    It's fine. I had ramen for breakfast and 1/3 of a gatorade that I had left over from bodypump last night. We go grocery shopping on Mondays and my BG dropped to 53 (2.94) half-way through. The only heads-up I got was that my lips were numb. But a couple of glucotabs cleared it up until we got home. :)

    FBS was 110 today. My A1c was up slightly to 6.1 from 5.8 three months ago

    It's a bit higher than I like but it's fine. I figure it's due to stress. We took in a homeless kid that my son knows from school. His mom kicked him out. So things are kind of up in the air right now.

    Wow, good for you. I'm sure that kid will appreciate it. If not today, some day.

    7.3 (131.4) Hardly slept at all last night from the pain from pancreatitis. I filled up my hot water bottle, and that seemed to ease the pain a bit. Not so bad this morning.

    bad: 128 this morning fasting and after one piece of banana bread it was 155. It normally is not that high, but these allergies or cold seems to be putting everything higher. Somebody know of a list of recommendations for diabetic foods when sick? ? It seems the ADA still has a lot of sugar and I do not really feel like eating a lot but am craving easily digestable protein.

    Doesn't all the literature say that you can expect higher Blood sugars when sick? Maybe just do the whole 'starve a fever, feed a cold thing" and eat sparingly until you're better?

    I'm on a clear fluid for the next couple of days because of pancreatitis and doctor's orders, so my sugars are low for me. 5.0 (90)

    Good luck

    better today at 110. I have been eating frequent lower carb or low quantity items. Post-meal testing shows decent numbers. @judyvalentine512 - hope your pancreatitis flares subside :)
