    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

    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?

    yes, the goal is not to starve yourself

    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.

    90 today. Doing better the last few days. Getting A1c next week. Weight still going down.
    Excellent!!!! I know the A1C results are weighted more heavily on the last month and weeks more than anything!!

    168. may have over corrected since I dropped to 37 at midnight. I ran last night and that dropped me too low. I even had a snack before I went running, guess it wasn't enough

    Good drop! Did you eat differently from the last three days?

    I had fewer carbs, got more exercise, and no snacking past 7:00 pm. Funny how small changes make big differences. :D
