Ok guys,

ate the pizza/cereal....

2 hour post was 165, 9.6.

This morning when waking I was 206, 11.4, so I will not be eating breakfast and

Okay, I really blew it tonight for dinner. I went to an Italian restaurant

for dinner. He gave picachia bread, then pieces of pizza bread with

mozerella cheese and dish of marina sauce and then I had spinach ravoli for

dinner as well as a salad. I couls not et much of every thing as mystomach

only allows so much, but I am afraid to do a blood sugar for at least

another hour (let the insulin I took take effect.).

Re: your blood sugar results

pre-supper bs reading 118.

carbs consumed80-90. Yeah, I know, but I was partying with catfish, slaw and

hushpuppies. Humalog 23 units afterwards.

wow Brett... great numbers!

Re: your blood sugar results

Hi,

Mid norning snack was a cookie with 12 grams of carbs, no insulin used.

Pre lunch was 4.9 (88). A tuner and Cheese sandwich and a snack bar for lunch,

32 carbs, so 6 units.

Post lunch 6.1, (109).

This is a great way to keep motivated, so far a good day, wish they could all

be this good!

Cheers,

Brett.

many thanks, this is something i never did before nor did i realize this to be

possible. will try it, karen from canada

RE: your blood sugar results

Well, my day seems terrible compared to all of you!

I woke up at 7.6 (137 mg/dl), took 3.55 units of insulin to cover 30 grams

of carbs.

I was 15.6 (281 mg/dl) after breakfast and corrected with 3.8 units of

insulin.

Before lunch I was 6.9 (124 mg/dl) and took 2.1 units of insulin to cover 25

grams of carbs (a sandwich on Weight Watchers bread and some sliced

strawberries). About an hour after lunch I ate another 10 grams of carbs and

took 0.9 units of insulin to cover them.

About an hour after this my class ended and I went to the coffee shop for a

short half hour lunch break. I tested at 10.2 (184 mg/dl) and had a latte

and half a brownie which was 40 grams of carbs in total. I took 4.4 units to

cover this.

Two hours after this I was at 11.1 (200 mg/dl) and took a unit to correct

this, since I still had lots of insulin on board. At this point I figured

I've been spiking after meals so changed my I:C ratio from 1:11 to 1:10. I'm

pretty sure hormones are mucking me up because my blood sugars have been

much more erratic these past few days even though I'm eating fewer carbs!

Two hours later I met with classmates to work on a group project. I would be

on campus for another few hours but because it was after 5:00 nothing was

open. I hadn't planned on staying late, but we have assignments due at the

end of the week so needed to meet, so I had no kind of dinner packed. I was

starving so had a 25 gram granola bar. The granola bar actually had no

nutritional information on it but most seem to be 25 grams of carbs so this

is what I bloused for, taking only 1.6 units because I had insulin on board

and my blood sugar at this time was 4.9 (88 mg/dl).

Two hours later I was down to 2.9 (52 mg/dl) so ate about 15 grams of

Skittles. About half an hour after this I also had another latte which was

25 grams of carbs, another guestimate. I took 2.5 units to cover this.

Now, about 45 minutes later, I am having an extremely late dinner. I still

have lots of insulin on board but will bolus 3.6 units for a hamburger that

my family has saved. I will test in two hours or so which will also be my

before-bed reading.

I do not plan on eating anything else today, so that is a total of 190 grams

of carbs. That is pretty good for a day when I'm out of the house for almost

12 hours straight!! I will try to aim for lower tomorrow. I also hope my

blood sugars are more stable tomorrow because this is pretty unstable

compared to what I've been getting for the past few months, seems to be

hormone-related, however, as it happens every few weeks it seems and I need

to change basal rates and carb ratios to get things sorted out.

Hi,

Okay, to finish off the day, post lunch was 7.9.

Dinner was 7.1. I had some sushi and estimated it at 45 grams of carbs, so dosed

9 units.

Post dinner was 13.1 so under estimated the sushi I think. I don't like to

correct near bed time so jumped on the Tready in stead.

Bed time was 6.5.

Had 137 grams of carbs for the day, I aim for 80 but usually end up between 80

and 100.

Cheers,

Brett.

Hi,

I split mine for the following two reasons:

1. monitoring my insulin to carb ratio indicated that I had a higher ratio at

dinner time which suggested the Lantus was waring off.

2. I use to swet like a pig at night.

Since splitting my dose, I don't get the swets and my insulin to carb ratio is

now steady through out the day.

Cheers,

Brett.

Thank you ! I should say that my eating habits lately have also

helped to lose some wait!

I am type 2, and take Metformin 500 mg twice a day.

Thank you for your encouragement! We all need encouragement, while fighting

this very exhausting battle!

Ok, I broke my high of 200, 11.1. pre-lunch I am 76, 4.2.

I ate a can of chicken Vienna sausages dipped in brown mustard and 1 cheese

stick. I dosed 2 units of humalog to cover the meal. I didn't have time to eat

any veggies but plan to for dinner.

strawberry yogart and drank two cups of blacbblack coffee. Then I injected 11

units of Humalog and 25 units of Lantus.

Thanks . I forgot something. For breakfast this morning I also had a

fresh Georgia peach along with the strawberry yogart. I guess it was a total of

37-38 grams of carbs.

Friday morning, July 17:

3:20 AM: 153. 2 units of Humalog to compensate for slight high.

6:35: wake up; 70. 3 or 4 ounces grape juice to raise bg and hold me until

breakfast. Didn't need the 2 units in middle of night since it would have

dropped to 80-90 range on its own. More evidence that splitting bedtime Lantus

might be worth trying.

7:20: pre-breakfast, 120. Breakfast of 1/3 cup old fashioned oatmeal, 1/2 cup

blueberries, honey, cinnamon, and milk, plus moderate portion of walnuts. And

coffee with French Vanilla and 1 sugar cube. 13 units of Humalog since slightly

elevated (I like to be under 100 for oatmeal breakfasts which are Mon., Wed.,

and Fri.).

8:45: 98. Will be in meeting until after 10, so early check before leaving

house. More grape juice, 1 saltine sandwich peanut butter cracker, and 1

miniature bite-size Snickers.

10:43: 77. 2 saltine chunky peanut butter crackers, 3 or 4 ounces grape juice.

Handful of dry roasted peanuts also between now and lunch.
