I too get those days, I try to drink my nutrition and calories via ensure or glucerna... yes they tend to bring my sugar up a bit, but i am still getting the calories and needed nutrients in and some excercise can help control the sugar spike. btw my doctor tells me it is a good choice for days that i just don't feel up to…

I have gastro, and go through bouts of it. My last one was in January. I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks. I finally started getting better in April. Some days are worse than others, but I have learned many of the foods to stay away from. I think the biggest relief I got was from walking for 60 minutes everytime I put something in…

uggggh!! why oh why does diabetes have to suffer when you get sick. BG after dinner was 195 :( hope everyone is doing better than me. Have a fantastic Thursday everyone.

so I have been sick the last couple of days, no thanks to my husband coming home for the weekend with a cold. The last 3 days my bg has been high for me, but I am trying to help it along with some extra insulin. Tonight at 90 mins past dinner it was 97. Not too bad considering the rest of the day it was between 114-160.…

100 tonight... have a great evening everyone

Not to sound rude, but I kinda know you well so I don't care LOL. I just commented on this topic the other day. A true low is below 70. If it is between 50-70 then eat 15g carbs wait 15 minutes and check again. If it isn't above 70 you can have another 15g. If it is below 50 then eat 30g carbs and check again in 15…

had lasagne & garlic bread and my bg was only 90 at 2 hours. I am shocked. Musta been a little low before I ate. Have a wonderful weekend all!!

wow an 84 after dinner. total dinner carbs were 22 all from fruit. kinda surprised by that number, however I have been trying to drop my dinner carbs down to just fruit & veggies.

98 this evening, 2 hours later and i still feel super full. Hope I can get my pm snack in as my calories are pretty low for the day.

When you run high sugars for more than a couple of days you can feel low when your numbers start to return to normal levels. It is good to check your BG before eating something for this reason. It doesn't take long for your body to get used to having numbers at a normal level. True lows are considered to be anything under…

For me it is the red sauce on pizza, most places/brands put added sugar in the sauce. Once I quit having refined sugars for over a month, then had spaghetti with sauce from a jar and I could actually taste the sugar. My hubby couldn't, but I noticed it. Yes it will cause the number to be high even if your carbs were low.…

Stay safe WCUCATS!! 89 this evening. Question for everyone... How do you calculate net carbs? When I was first diagnosed many years ago, it wasn't about net carbs but about carb vs protein servings. For every serving of protien (7g) I could have one serving of carbs (15g) without any raises in my BG. Just curious how…

83 tonight woohoo!! that is the best after dinner I have had yet. Had black beans and a peach. For the most part my numbers stay under 125, but I decided its the starchy carbs that cause the higher numbers. Don't know if I am ready to give up my potatoes or wild rice. Guess a couple days without them will do me good. I may…

I did gluten free for about 30 days. It really helped reset my digestive system. Then I slowly added some back in. Mostly in crackers or pancakes, but if I have too much it does tear my digestive system up. Hope it helps whatever is ailing you.

109 @ 2 hr mark... 132 total carbs so far today. May get a few more with my pm snack. I ate dinner fairly early for me. However lots of walking again today. Have a good night!! Btw dinner was the highest reading I had all day :smile:

112 tonight. Was a very long but productive day. Have a greaat night everyone!!
-
Fantastic results!!!
-
Fantastic work in lowering that number. I am the same as you and strive for perfection. My doctor is always happy with my results, but I get frustrated at times. In September I had a 5.6. Then I got severely sick in January and didn't start getting better till April. My A1C at the end of March was 6.5. After joining this…
-
What fabulous news!!! You are doing so well, keep up the fantastic work!

One thing I noticed is you are not tracking your sugar intake. That may help to some degree. Lots of foods have sugars in them that can cause high numbers, such as marinara (pasta) sauce, and the yogurts. Also most breads have hidden sugars in them as well. You may want to change your settings to view sugars even if it is…

Good evening everyone. BG tonight was 107 which is great considering I splurged and had a kids size shake with dinner. My overall carbs and sugar was much higher today than normal. Back on track tomorrow.

Your diary is private, or maybe only viewable to friends. Add me and I will be happy to look and see if I see anything.

that is fantastic news!!! You are doing awesome and I am so happy for you.

I mix mine with almond milk in the morning. I prefer Garden of Life Raw Protien. The vanilla has only 4g carbs and 90 calories, the chocolate has 7g carbs and 90 calories. It tastes awful with just water, but not bad with the almond milk. Sometimes I mix it in with some fruit and almond milk in the blender. Altho I realize…
