Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but I've been moving, and the energy has been having to be restored, as I know my limitations these days, so I've been disconnected for quite awhile, but started reading just a couple of days ago. Also, I've been having trouble with "freeze ups" with this old computer (99 model Acer, with Win 98 on it too!), and it seems like every 3rd message I go to answer, it freezes up, so that's what some of that is.

Anyway, do remember that, just because blood sugar has gone higher, doesn't mean that it can go too low also. As a matter of fact, many insulin resistant people's (also Type II diabetics already, in some cases) blood sugar goes higher in response to particularly carbs, specifically higher glycemic carbs. Then their pancreas pours out all this insulin into the blood stream to try to cover all that blood sugar, but, in their case, the insulin can't seem to force the blood sugar into the cells, so the insulin is "roaming around" out there, causing them to crash, feel low, be depressed, and generally making them want to sleep or lay down or sit down a lot, part of another "brain fog" syndrome, similar to low thyroid. As a matter of fact, it probably comes from being chronically low thyroid for a long time, if not a poor diet, IMO. Your diet is probably as good as it could be ($s), except for the fact that you COULD be insulin resistant, and, if you are, then you absolutely have to change the portions and types of carbs you're ingesting, subbing with more non glycemic things (but not doing away with carbs cause it's too severe for ANYone, IMO), even if it means spending more money to do it. You're already doing exactly what any diabetic, hypoglycemic, or insulin resistant person should be doing by having all the mini meals a day, but, as said, you may have to readjust the TYPES of carbs more than you'd ordinarily want, so that your insulin isn't having to "jump out there" to cover stuff that goes to the blood stream quickly. Nice and even. I'm thinking I may have this problem myself, but not diabetes. I've never had an insulin test to see how much is being thrown out there in response to a meal, and the fasting blood sugar simply won't tell this story, only the blood sugar part. For instance, you could have an 80 fasting sugar, which is pretty even, but if the pancreas is pouring out a ton of insulin to cover what's there and can't put the sugar into the blood cells, due to cellular resistance, then you are in a hypoglycemic state. This would apply even to a diabetic whose pancrease still makes insulin, if the cells are resistant. As a matter of fact, insulin resistance or "Syndrome X" is probably the first step to diabetes. You're MUCH more disciplined than I am, when it comes to the sweets, etc. This is the one place where I haven't put forth as much effort as I could. That's going to change, as I am now living alone and won't have it in the house with me to reach for MOST of the time, but not always. I also seem to have an "inherited" tendency t'wd loving bread, it's like a curse or something!

Re: I need to whine and cry and feel abused.

Hmmmm, I've never heard of a risk of clots.... maybe those that know more can share a bit more with those of us that are considering???

I'm here to learn too, you know!!! hehehehehehe

I'm used to being one of MANY s.. that's why I got into the habit of using my screen name too... so that it's easy to tell which I am.... and by adding the and not just the screen name, you know, too, that I'm a female type person and not some grizzly ole pervert!

.... well... I guess I still could be a grizzly ole pervert.... Hey... Carol in MN, you've seen me in person... and so has Cheryl in Fridley..... and , you've talked with me on the phone a few times.... I'm not a grizzly ole male pervert, am I? And my cousin Kristi is here too.. lurking in the shadows.... she's known me for years and years... I'm not a grizzly ole pervert... I'm not... I'm not!!! eeeekkkkkkkkkkk

hehehehehehe

Okay... I'm past all the sillies now...

I'm feeling pretty good today... I was absolutely ravenous though... so I stuffed my gut.. that got rid of the weirdness I was feeling... I wonder if that's a 'body memory/fear' of when I was in storm??? I wish I knew more about stuff like that..... But one good gut stuffing meal and I was just fine... now I'm back to doing my normal modest portion mini meals and quite content.
