Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 First, thanks to all who replied to my last post -- for listening to my 'venting', and for your great support and encouragement. The past 24 hours has been interesting ... my intake, BGs etc. were as follows: FRI 8/2 - 10:30 PM ...... Finished an all-you-can-eat king crab leg dinner at Red Lobster. Ate one cheese biscuit, 70% of the tossed green salad with a little bleu cheese dressing, and about 7 four-leg clusters of crab legs. Ice water with lemon, no dessert. SAT 8/3 - 8:45 AM ...... BG reading 168 ... better than I expected, but not great. NO breakfast. " 3:30 PM ...... BG reading 126 ... much better ! Best reading for perhaps the entire summer, so far ! For a late lunch, I ate 2 small frozen burritos with 2 oz. cheese and fresh salsa made from my garden stuff. " 7:15 PM ...... Dinner - four (4) tacos, corn tortillas; 10 oz. ground beef; 4 oz. cheddar cheese; chopped tomatoes, onions and lettuce; 4 TBsp. sour cream; fresh salsa made from my garden stuff. Added another couple TBsp. ground beef, 2 oz. cheese and 2 TBsp. sour cream to the leftover 'bitlets' on plate. Finished it off using another corn tortilla. " 10:00 PM ..... Dessert: l-a-r-g-e soft-serve vanilla ice cream cone. " 11:40 PM ..... BG reading (cringed as I waited for the meter to beep) .... 117 !!!!! I have no idea how I got one of the best BG numbers I've had in literally months, after a very large dinner and a big ice cream cone, not to mention the stress I vented about yesterday. Well, I am planning a careful day tomorrow, and see if I can get under 110. Again, thanks to all for your kind, supportive comments after my post yesterday. You're the best. Sincerely, - Dave G.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi Dave ;-) **BG reading 126 ... much better ! Best reading for perhaps the entire summer, so far ! ** Congrats on getting lower ;-) Are you wanting suggestions? If so...... One way to lower your bg's would be to drop the cheese biscuit, tortillas around burritos, corn tortillas, large cone. I'm not sure if you are looking for ways to lower your numbers, but if you are, many of us avoid those foods. Also, you need to be testing 2 hours after each meal if you want to know how those meals are affecting you. I'm a horrible example myself, but it's better to eat regular meals than to pig out for one and miss the next ;-) I miss quite a few meals because I am just not hungry. Sometimes that makes me hungrier for the next time....a bit of a problem ;-) Keep on plugging! Every success makes it easier and more rewarding to keep trying harder ;-) (wsm311@...)

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Dave that's so good :-) My husbands uncle had diabetes and just ate normally. He never overate and watched his sugar a bit and lived to be almost 90 with no complications. He golfed everyday and I think that helped get in his exercise...but he never obsessed on food all day. I think it was Pam that said that she did not want to think about diabetes 24/7 but wanted to live life!! And what a good life with Tacos and ice-cream and a good reading!! sus -----Original Message----- From: stargate7@... " 7:15 PM ......
