    That is a great improvement in your A1C, leanmachine -- you worked hard for this with your diet and exercise plan!

    8.3 (149.4) Here's something I just thought of this morning. If you wake up hungry, and your FBS is high, could it be because your liver was dumping glucose during the night?

    7.6 (136.8) I've looked back over my logs, and there are very few mornings where my BG was below 6. I think I just have that morning high. I've even tried not eating past 7, or nothing after supper. So, the rest of the day is pretty steady and within range, so I'm not worried about it.
    Have a lovely day everyone!
    And good for you leanmachine.

    went low last night to 41 and may have over corrected. This morning I was 168

    Wow, that is low. What do you mean by over corrected?

    7.8 (140.4)

    I mean I was around 221 before bed, so I gave myself two units of insulin to get it lower. By midnight I was around 41. I had a evening meal with some fatty foods, so I probably should have left it alone. Fatty foods take longer for the body to absorb, so bg tends to stay higher longer

    I'm trying my hardest to get enough calories while keeping my fats between 20 and 30 grams per day, and carbs 105 - 115.
    It's a good thing I see the endocrinologist this month as well as their dietician.

    Thanks jsimms435,

    Thanks jsimms435,

    (30 x 9) + (115 x 4) = 730

    Wow, I wouldn't want to try that. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at that dietitian visit.

    Yeah, I know, I'm in for a lecture. I have been trying to get at least 1000 calories a day, ideally, 1200. The problem is the fat. If I eat more than 30g's a day, I will end up with another pancreatitis flare up, and I just can't take another one.

    Excellent!!!! I know the A1C results are weighted more heavily on the last month and weeks more than anything!!

    @judyvalentine512 Thanks :) I usually have a mid evening snack before I go to bed. It keeps me stable. FBS this am was 110
