Pre breakfast reading for today August 20.

[Guest guest]

Good morning, My blood sugar reading for this morning was 145. For

breakfast I ate one piece of colby cheese and a cup of crystal light, and 1

cup of coffee with 1 tsp. of cream and 2 packages of splenda.

I don't know how much I'll be in here today posting because we're supposed

to get storms today so I won't have the computer on then. I'm keeping track

of the readings and will let you all know what they are when I can use the

computer again, Have a good day.

Hi Terri.

Let me suggest to write all your results down in a text file or word document so

you can print it and show your doctor the results next visit. This way, he and

you can study the pattern of your two hour post meal test with 30 grams of carbs

at each meal to determine if your medication needs increased. So, maybe keep

this in your log such as...

date, time, carbs ate, pre meal, post meal

Saturday, Aug 20 2005

Breakfast: 7:30 am

pre meal 146

ate 30 grams of carbs: 2 slices of bread, 2 eggs

two hour post 125

Lunch 1:00 pm

pre meal 122

ate 15 grams of carbs: 1 slice of bread, turkey, salad

two hour post 119

Dinner 6:30 pm

pre meal 80

ate 30 grams of carbs: 1 roll, 1 8 ounse steak, salad

two hour post 149

and so on. This way, you have it in a log file that you can track patterns

yourself, which foods effect you how, and share this with your doctor. I always

enjoyed tracking my body to see what it was doing grin.

keep us updated...

Let me suggest that an Excel file could also be used for the compilation of

data.

I use an Excel file as I like using columns to separate data and I find it

easier to move around quickly. My column titles are: month, date, meal,

food, carbs, blood sugar reading, insulin dosage, restaurant, and comments.

I total the carbs for each meal and then enter the rest of the data on the

total row. Other columns can be easily added as needed.

I also like Excel because I can perform mathematical calculations on the

carb totals and blood sugar readings.

You can print the Excel file in landscape mode for your doctor if you so

desire.
