Hi Harry.

For lunch, why did you put c 15? with the question mark after 15. Good job

geting the bgs down! Try to determine if 4 units lower your bgs x points

over the next few days. Perhaps 4 units lowers your bgs only 40 or so

points?

regards,

not certain if you had it in a bag but always purchase bread in a bag since

it shows the carb grams accurate and I always round up. I.E if it is 12, I

say 15. If it is 22, I say 25. If it is 27, I say 30. I don't say 30 if it

is 23 etc. I just up it a few points if it is like 2 or 3 from the next

number up.

regards,

I think you got it down Harry! Great job man! Hahaha! It took you only about

1.5 weeks or so and can you imagine if you had to do this with your doctor

seeing him only every two weeks how long it would have taken? Hats off to

Harry and lots of applause from . Good job my friend!

regards,

Yes, I think I have it now. All I had to do was to follow your advice and

's advice and stop experimenting and stick to the same number of

carbohydrates consumed at each meal and regulate dosage of Humalog

accordingly. It turns out in my case that the dose of Humalog to Carb is

almost a 1:2 relationship, since I also have insulin resistance. So in my

case it takes one unit of Humalog for every two grams of Carbohydrates

consumed. In a few days I will try doubling the Carb intake and the Humalog

intake to see if 14 units of Humalog will handle 30 grams of carbs.

I really do thank you for your support and encouragement. It was very

helpful in assisting me to get to a good blood glucose level.

Your quite welcome Harry. You are a success story of someone who has great

determination and have shown every single person on this list that it is

very possible to get your blood sugars under control in a short time by

exercising discipline and doing what you know to do. By you exercising your

will to control this disease Harry, you will control it, and it will not

control you! Good job! I have been telling all my diabetic friends about you

and they are so excited to hear about you.

Yes, in a few days, feel free to try eating 30 grams of carbs at a meal.

Like I stated earlier, I'd say to only do this starting at lunch and see the

results. Don't do it for every meal since your body may freak out at it

smiles. If 30 grams at lunch work out for you, then do 30 grams for lunch

for like 3 days at 30 grams to see if you can maintain good results. If

lunch is good after three days at 30 grams, then do dinner at 30 grams and

test that for 3 days as well. I would suggest to keep your breakfast at 15

grams all the time since that liver is dumping sugar and if you got your bgs

under control in the morning at 15 grams, don't screw with it!! People I

know would kill for your morning sugars Harry. The morning sugars are very

hard to get under control so again, don't screw with that man. You have had

it pretty easy getting your morning bgs under control and I know diabetics

who have tried this going on 8 months now with minimal success yet.

Please, as you test each day, please post your results since they are very

encouraging to me and others. Thanks for keeping us updated with your

testing results.

hats off to Harry!

BTW I know many others on the list are doing what Harry is doing but only

lurking so hats off to you as well!

regards,
