Hi Terri.

Here are the answers.

1. In order to run an a1c level between 5.0 to 5.3, 90% of the time your

two hour post meal test should be:

You answered B or C and the correct answer is C.

A) 90

B) 130

C) 120

D) 125

2. Your meals should limit quick acting carbohydrates to:

The correct answer is none of the above. You answered A for 15 grams and the

correct answer is 30 grams which wasn't listed.

A) 15 grams

B) 20 grams

C) 45 grams

D) 40 grams

E) none of the above

3. Which of the following are quick acting carbohydrates:

You answered F and that is correct.

A) grapes

B)( cottage cheese

c) olives

D) cheese

E) Both A and C

F) Both A and B

4. Sally takes her sugar two hours past eating a meal and her sugar is 60.

What should she do?

You answered B and that is correct.

A) Drink 1/2 cup of orange juice

B) Eat 2 glucose tabletst to come up to around 100

C) Eat a candy bar

D) Drink sugared pop

5. When Jeff went to bed, his sugar was 90. He didn't eat a snack before

bed. However, when he woke up in the morning, for some reason, his sugar

was 180. This is an example of?

You answered D and that was not correct. The correct answer was B dawn

phenomena. This is where your liver dumps natural sugar into your blood early

morning to help you wake up. This causes high morning sugars for diabetics.

A) dawn sleep

B) dawn phenomena

C) dawn high

D) dawn sugar

E) dawn onset

6. Which of the following are sugars in foods that should be limited in

our diet:

You answered B and while that is correct, that is not all of them grin. The

correct answers were B lactose which is found in all dairy products, C sucrose

and D fructose. Anything that ends in the letters OSE is a sugar and you should

be aware of it in the foods you eat. You can read the food label for anything

that ends in OSE and you will know if it has sugar added to it.

A) Mucktose

B) Lactose

c) Sucrose

D) fructose

E) Sacktose

F) Cyrus

7. True or false. An a1c level of 6.0 is acceptable and will not cause

diabetic complications in the long run.

You answered false and that was correct.

8. True or false. It is possible for a type 2 diabetic to never require

insulin shots if they limit carbohydrates since by doing so, it limits the

stress put on the pancreas and limits pancreas burnout.

The correct answer is true. If you limit the carbohydrates you eat, your

pancreas does not need to excrete as much insulin to keep your sugar in range.

Think of it like gas in a car... the more carbs you eat, the harder the engine

has to work to keep up. Eventually, the engine breaks down. By limiting carbs,

your pancreas doesn't have to work as hard and you have a great possibility of

it never burning out.

9. You take a pre meal test and it is 160. You should:

You answered F all of the above and that is not correct. It should only be

answers A and B... drink water and skip the meal. If you eat low carb foods, it

still has some carbs in it and can hinder your sugar breaking to a small degree.

In your case currently with highs, you have to eat or you'd die grin. However,

assuming your sugars were in range and for some reason your pre meal was 160,

you should skip the meal and drink water and don't eat.

A) skip the meal

B) eat low carb foods

C) drink lots of water to hydrate your cells to be more receptive to

insulin

D) only answer a

E) Both answers A and C

F) All of the above

10. is invited out to eat with her friends to an Italian restaurant.

She knows as a diabetic it is not a good choice for foods since they are

high in carbs. What can she order at the Italian restaurant and still

enjoy her time out?

You answered D and while that is correct, there is another you can choose.

Answer G is the correct one since both C and D are correct -- a chicken dish is

very low in carb and the salad is as well.

A) pasta and meatballs

B) garlic bread

C) a chicken dish

D) salad

E) rolls

F) none of the above

G) Both c and d

Not to bad on this one. I'll send you another one down the road grin. If you

have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi ,

I'm proud to let you no that I was following what you was telling

Terry and I woke up this morning with a normal reading. My sugar use

to run between 200 and 330 almost everyday in the morning and in the

afternoon. What I did was I started drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water

every hour for breakfast and lunch. For supper last night I only had

a large salad with 2 boneless thin pork chops and a caffeine free

diet coke. I woke up this morning my sugar was 79. I was feeling a

little weak so I eat 1 pack of ramen noodles which is 29 grams of

carbs and 2 of those left over pork chops I had last night. The pork

chops was not fried they was baked. I'm going to check my sugar

again at noon and see what's going to be. I think this is going to

be a start for me. I'm currently taking humalog 72 in the morning

and 64 in the afternoon

Hi Otis.

Great to hear your sugars are under control! However, even better than that is

you are jumping in and taking charge.... way to go!

Good to see you limited breakfast to 30 grams of raymond noodles. I love those!

Do a 2 hour post meal test to see what your sugar is. If it is 120 or less then

you know you hav the correct units of humalog for 30 grams of carbs for

breakfast. Then you just repeat that 2 hour post meal check for lunch / dinner.

The two hour post meal test is key to determine if you have your humalog dose

correct for 30 grams at each meal.

Please, keep me updated...

Regards,

Re: Terri exam

Hi ,

I'm proud to let you no that I was following what you was telling

Terry and I woke up this morning with a normal reading. My sugar use

to run between 200 and 330 almost everyday in the morning and in the

afternoon. What I did was I started drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water

every hour for breakfast and lunch. For supper last night I only had

a large salad with 2 boneless thin pork chops and a caffeine free

diet coke. I woke up this morning my sugar was 79. I was feeling a

little weak so I eat 1 pack of ramen noodles which is 29 grams of

carbs and 2 of those left over pork chops I had last night. The pork

chops was not fried they was baked. I'm going to check my sugar

again at noon and see what's going to be. I think this is going to

be a start for me. I'm currently taking humalog 72 in the morning

and 64 in the afternoon

Hi,

Now I'm only going to really eat it when my sugar is kind on the low

side like between the 70's and 90's. I'm basically going to try to

limit a lot of those high starches and try to stick to a lot of

veggies and protein.

Re: Terri exam

Hi,

Now I'm only going to really eat it when my sugar is kind on the low

side like between the 70's and 90's. I'm basically going to try to

limit a lot of those high starches and try to stick to a lot of

veggies and protein.

Otis, If you keep those sugars down, you will need less insulin and that

would be a good thing too! Congrats.

Re: Terri exam

Hi ,

I'm proud to let you no that I was following what you was telling

Terry and I woke up this morning with a normal reading. My sugar use

to run between 200 and 330 almost everyday in the morning and in the

afternoon. What I did was I started drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water

every hour for breakfast and lunch. For supper last night I only had

a large salad with 2 boneless thin pork chops and a caffeine free

diet coke. I woke up this morning my sugar was 79. I was feeling a

little weak so I eat 1 pack of ramen noodles which is 29 grams of

carbs and 2 of those left over pork chops I had last night. The pork

chops was not fried they was baked. I'm going to check my sugar

again at noon and see what's going to be. I think this is going to

be a start for me. I'm currently taking humalog 72 in the morning

and 64 in the afternoon

Re: Terri exam

Hi ,

I'm proud to let you no that I was following what you was telling

Terry and I woke up this morning with a normal reading. My sugar use

to run between 200 and 330 almost everyday in the morning and in the

afternoon. What I did was I started drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water

every hour for breakfast and lunch. For supper last night I only had

a large salad with 2 boneless thin pork chops and a caffeine free

diet coke. I woke up this morning my sugar was 79. I was feeling a

little weak so I eat 1 pack of ramen noodles which is 29 grams of

carbs and 2 of those left over pork chops I had last night. The pork

chops was not fried they was baked. I'm going to check my sugar

again at noon and see what's going to be. I think this is going to

be a start for me. I'm currently taking humalog 72 in the morning

Otis, If you keep those sugars down, you will need less insulin and that

would be a good thing too! Congrats.

Re: Terri exam

Hi ,

I'm proud to let you no that I was following what you was telling

Terry and I woke up this morning with a normal reading. My sugar use

to run between 200 and 330 almost everyday in the morning and in the

afternoon. What I did was I started drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water

every hour for breakfast and lunch. For supper last night I only had

a large salad with 2 boneless thin pork chops and a caffeine free

diet coke. I woke up this morning my sugar was 79. I was feeling a

little weak so I eat 1 pack of ramen noodles which is 29 grams of

carbs and 2 of those left over pork chops I had last night. The pork

chops was not fried they was baked. I'm going to check my sugar

again at noon and see what's going to be. I think this is going to

be a start for me. I'm currently taking humalog 72 in the morning

and 64 in the afternoon

Otis,

Is what you say a typo? It is hard for me to believe that you are taking 72

units of Humalog in the morning and 64 units of Humalog in the afternoon.

Ten units of Humalog drops my bs by 75 points, and I would imagine if I took

72 units of Humalog in the morning, I would not be alive enough to take the

64 units of Humalog in the afternoon. Are you really talking about Humalog?

I thought Humalog was a short-acting insulin to handlemeals and snacks, not

the main insulin for your daily treatment like Lantus, which is a

long-acting insulin.

Hi,

That's true. I tried to get my diabetes nurse to put me on Lantus in

the afternoon but she wanted to keep increasing the humilog. The

reason it's like that is because I was messing up so much eating all

the wrong things. Now it's time for me to take control. I'm also a

heavy set guy so my insalen wasn't working that good. I use to be on

novolog but that wouldn't work with me for nothing. They had to put

me on a pill called macforman until my doctor thought that the

macforman was bothering my liver.
