Too many carbs? The chocolate bars only have 34 grams.If that is a

Hi Tara,

Eat one of the bars, then test 2 hours later. If your bg's are normal, enjoy

the bars.

You may want to try a smaller amount of oatmeal and also have some protein

with it, then test two hours later.

If you are sick, that could be the reason you are getting higher bg's.

This website gives blood glucose (bg) goals for both people with and peope

without diabetes.

Thanks,

I truly think this diabetes is making me ill.My sugar has stayed at 300 for 3

weeks.I actually got it down to 222 tonight but i have HORRIBLE waves of

nausea,especially right after taking my diabetes pills.I am following this SO

close,too;( Very frustrated!

I barely eat so portion is less than 1/2 cup oatmeal.Maybe i will try only

protein as in Atkins...did that one in '71 and got very skinny! Twenty more lbs

& i may be there,again...

Today less than 1/2 cup oatmeal,splenda & skim milk

25 assorted nuts for lunch & 2 skim stringy cheese thingys for dinner...

Still at 222;(

(plus 4 liters of water) I'm at a loss.Need an endo DR as soon as they return

from the Holidays;(( so i can get a referral.Wrong time for a diagnosis!

Love & ...nauseus,lol

Thanks,

Tara;)
