Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 Congratulations, Barb!! Glucoprotein test My In Charge meter glucoprotein test was 223 this morning, which translates (thanks to Teri's wonderful chart) to an HbA1c of 5.25, bg of 97.5 for the past 2-3 weeks. This is my best yet, and I'm attributing it to the switch from N to U, the oncoming of summer with more physical work, and the continuation of a lower carb diet (around 100). I have also greatly reduced my H for meals, which is practically zero, except for the occasional high carb dinner. I am grateful for all the information on this list, and you supportive people!

This is my best yet, >> Hey, Barb, that's terrific! I'm so proud of you! Wish I could say the same for me...I'm actually afraid to use my glucoprotein meter. Just as I thought I had things under pretty good control my base numbers changed and things that had been working previously stopped working and I started having BGs in the 200s routinely. Very discouraging. We still haven't figured out why this happened but we've revised all dosing numbers. Ron says it's like trying to hit a moving target. So it's back to the drawing board. I've given up almost all my favorite carby foods (I wasn't eating very much of 'em anyway), concentrating on low and medium GI stuff and my diet is starting to look like strict Bernstein. Previous to this I was eating about 100-150 carbs per day and I've just about halved that now. I'm really happy to have that lowcarb store near me...at least I can have their bread (16 carbs per loaf) and the tortillas with stuff on 'em and that works pretty well. Also having trouble keeping weight up. I'm down to 120. (believe me, this is as much of a problem as too much weight!) But I'm still feeling fine and energetic...Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 Gee, Vicki, I'm sorry to hear that. Before it sounded like you were going great. Glad you have such expert acvice, anyway. Are you off the glucophage yet? Barb www.RainbowFarm.com/foals2000.html >Wish I could say the same for me...I'm actually afraid to use my glucoprotein >meter.
