Re: Blood Sugar Readings -

,

Please note that this is my opinion.

My experience has shown me that the blood sugar rise

in the morning is due to the fact that the body has

gone many hours without food to stimulate the insulin

in your system. I've noticed that my highest readings

are always in the morning and by eating protein first

thing, I am able to bring them down to a level closer

to normal. If I eat a carb first thing, the sugar

rises which is opposite of what I want it to do.

Have you tried nite bites for your son? This might

help him to regulate his sugar while he's asleep.

Even giving him some cheese or peanut butter &

crackers or on celery late at night might help. I

really think we are meant to eat something small every

two hours once we show signs of diabetes.

Alice,

I will have to try the protein in the morning also. As far as your mother

goes--did she have seizures and diabetes? My mother was diagnosed with

epilepsy when she was about 35. of course, we now know it was melas. She

was thin, 5 ft, 105-110 lbs. She would black out now and then. She was on

the medication when she had her last major seizure when whe was 48.

Anyway, she was diagnosed as a diabetic also but was on diet control. My

sister was the same body build but never a diabetic. She had two major

episodes of seizures. She was 33.

My grandmother and aunt are my body build, medium build and 125-140 lbs.

both were insulin dependent diabetics. They never had seizures as far as I

know. my aunt died at 58 of kidney failure and my grandmother last year.

She was like 90.

I am wondering if our body build (not that we can change it much) has

anything to do with how this mito hits.
