maybe something on your hands? Especially since it got better after washing them. That has happened to me a few times, I just assumed it was something on my skin. Now I just make sure they are clean before I start and I never use the first drop of blood, I wipe it away and use the second.

So sorry. I know that high morning reading is so frustrating. I struggled with it for years.

Welcome Ken. Best of luck and I have confidence you can do this! Curious, how long do you stay on Optifast and do they have a plan for working back into a healthy diet from there? I am not super familiar with that plan.

Sometimes a snack of protein with some fat helps. Like a couple of whole wheat crackers with some no sugar added peanut butter, or a bit of cheese and nuts. Keeps your sugar a little steadier so your liver doesnt think it needs to give you such a boost to start your day. If you take metformin for insulin resistance, it…

@midwesterner85 Yes our stories sound very similar. I was also on MDI for years...I took a fast acting for meals and a long acting in the morning for all day basal coverage. Had to be so careful because that long acting would peak later in the day and if I didnt eat at a certain time I would crash and burn. With my job it…

I do eat some carbs, but I try to stick to more complex carbs as they dont spike my blood sugar as high and quick. I do also wear a CGM because I was prone to wild swings up and down. Once I started on the pump, my blood sugar evened out and I dont usually have those huge swings anymore. I do still wear a CGM as well…

By the time I was 15 I was already taking oral meds and by the time I was 20 I was on insulin.
