Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Well my sugar's have been bouncing this week. Today they were 155, yesterday they were 187, Friday 130 Thursday 128 before lunch, and in the mornin' 167 Wednesday before supper 111 and in the mornin before breakfast 126. I'm really trying hard to keep them below 120, but can't seem to make that happen. Any suggestions? If I was as sure of God as I am about the ground beneath my feet, how often would I think of God?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 , What are you eating and when do you take your medication-and I forgot what kind of med are you on? Are you counting carbohydrates? Keeping the number of grams of carbs at a consistant level helps a lot with keeping the BG down. Bouncing Sugars, Well my sugar's have been bouncing this week.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 I take my sugar in the morning round 7:30 and then eat and then if I remember I check it round 11:30 AM. And I'm on Lucinipril and Glukafage.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Charting is the key to know how your body handles your carbs and medications and exercise level. Keep a record of the time, total grams of carbs consumed, medications dosage, and activity level. If you keep a record of bs measurements for before breakfast total carbs consumed and two hour post breakfast measurement, then you will know how the body handles the carbs consumed in the morning and do the same for lunch and dinner. Once you have mastered bs level control, then you do not have to chart all the time. You can then only chart when you recognize that something is wrong and discontinue charting once you have identified and corrected the problem. Charting, keeping a record is the key to bs mastery and blood glucose level control. Remember your glucose monitor is the diabetic's best friend. It does not praise you. It does not scold you. It just tells you how it is. What more can you ask of a good friend? Bouncing Sugars, > > Well my sugar's have been bouncing this week.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Don't take offense, but you don't know what bouncing is. I've been type 1 for almost 40 years, and I couldn't count the times I've gone from 40 to 350, and back again, in the same day. <smile> Don't worry, you'll figure it out, it just takes time. Once you figure out the carb thing, and begin to understand how activity or the lack thereof, affects your bg readings, you'll do much better.
