Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Ok all, this morning my blood sugar was 370. I am not kidding. Last evening prior to my post I had a meal with pasta and I had to dose quite a bit of humalog to cover it. At my two hour post, I was dropping low so had to eat a decent amount of glucose which in turn, over the night as I slept, caused me to spike to 370 so I won't be eating anything until I break the high. So, I dosed enough humalog to come down and am drinking water. Water helps our cells be more receptive to insulin and helps break highs. Never eat when you are high since it just feeds the high sugar, break the high, then eat healthy meats and healthy veggies. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi, Okay, this will be a great motivator, so I will jump on board the blood sugar challenge, although I'm not yet attempting the Normalization diet, just trying to stick to my 80 grams of carbs per day. However, I may do, after getting an idea of peoples meal plans. Time to stop rambling and get down to the real issue. Morning BSL 6.2 (112), Breakfast was three eggs and a little light Swiss cheese.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 pre-dinner was 140, 7.7 two hour post was 82, 4.5. snack prior to crashing for the night - slice of smoked turkey wrapped around a mozzarella cheese stick - both microwave for 20 seconds to slightly melt the cheese. Dipped in brown spiced mustard for flavor! I must say, it was pretty good! I'll post my sugar in the morning. btw tip - take 1 unit of humalog when rising to counter the dawn effect.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Good morning guys, This morning when I got up I was 130, 7.1. I dosed 3 units of humalog to come down and didn't eat anything yet. Once the high comes down I am going to eat breakfast. For breakfast I'll have 3 scrambled eggs lightly sprinkled with shredded cheddar cheese, steamed green peppers cut up in it and topped with a pinch of parmasaun cheese and a cup of coffee. I think total carbs for that meal is around 4 grams. However, those 4 grams are not quick acting, they are slow acting. I'll dose 3 units of humalog to cover the meal. My pre-meal will be at or around 83, 4.5. I'll post my two hour test results which should always be under 120, 6.6. Regards, your blood sugar results Ok all, this morning my blood sugar was 370.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Glad to see you posting Brett. One thing that I have found is key to not getting board with the Dr B diet is to season things. It doesn't take much to add variety. For example, if you eat eggs for breakfast, each day jazz them up with any spice you can think of. Just don't eat eggs plain... that will quickly cause bordem *grin*. For example... Monday - hot sauce tuesday - mushrooms/green peppers Wednesday - cheddar cheese Thursday - italian spices Friday - parmesan cheese Saturday - chili spice for some heat! Sunday - cinnamon This concept applies to any food you eat be it chicken breast, hot dogs, steak, hamburger, etc. Don't be afraid to be creative with what you season food with!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Let's see if I can start over again today. This morning my blood sugar was 7.6 or 137. For breakfast I had a bowl of high-fibre cereal with milk for a total of 30 grams of carbs, and also had a piece of cheese for protein. For the carbs plus correction for my blood sugar I took 3.55 units of insulin. I will be in class for the next ten hours or so, therefore I can't post my blood sugars as I take them but will post them tonight.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi , I am curious why you take so much insulin for a blood sugar of 7.1 and only 4 grmas of carbs if you're not insulin resistant? This morning my blood sugar was 7.6 and I ate 30 grams of carbs and I took 3.55 units of insulin which is only half a unit more than yours. I am on the pump so do not need to cover anything like the dawn phenomenon as my basal insulin does this effectively for me, but maybe this is the reason for the difference? My target blood sugar that my pump corrects to is also only 6.0 which is probably not as low as your target blood sugar! I was just curious.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 ok, 2 hour post breakfast 128, 7.1. I want that 120 or less so need to work on it. Perhaps dose 1 more unit of humalog at breakfast. pre-lunch 107, 5.9. I had a can of tuna fish seasoned with brown mustard, salt, and pepper. I also had a slice of baked ham. I dosed 5 units to cover the slight elevation in the sugar. Normally I'd only dose 3 units of humalog for such a meal. I'll post 2 hour results.
