>Well........the gluscose is not in my blood until I digest the

food.....so that while some of it may be in my blood 30 minutes after a

meal......I feel the rise at around 45 minutes....depending on my

schedule I'll exercise anywhere from 30 min. to an hour.....To drop it

by exercise.....and to get the maximum drop I start my exercise at 45

min. after a meal. If I start 30 min. after a meal.....well, the

glucose (most of it) is not in my blood yet.....so can't use it if it

is not there in the blood......everyone has a different digestion

time.....type of food eaten......amount.....etc.....

Hard to explain.......I can feel the major rises and drops......if it

just moves 20 points either way.........I don't feel it.........then

again......I'm a type 2 and just use meds. as a helper.......My Endo

informed me that I will eventually lose these sensations once my body

becomes use to my new bs levels.....

[Guest guest]

also.......some food are digested faster than others

example

Vegetable fried rice vs pizza

vegetables vs a big juicy hamburger

a lunch sanwich vs a regular thanksgiving dinner

[Guest guest]

yup..........feel sorta strange.....when the rises and drops " kick in "

my main factors........vegetarian, a1c when diagnosed.....270.....I'm

in the overweight class.....1800 calories per day.....180 carbs.......

I usually stick to the same type of meals and snacks day after

day....same time.......

my number guess is usually with 20 points of the test result......

last nite .........I ate a bowl of soup (body is a little sensitive to

soup).....figure my test would be around.....111-125.......it was 114

usually I'm at 96-108

after...meal......n exercise.....no meds........130-149........I take

my pill b4 lunch......I'd rather be around 130-149 after exercise than

passed out in the park becuase of a med low........

[Guest guest]

Oh boy - I can feel mine rise...lol...I get very sensitive to

everything...not quite jittery, but almost. Sounds get louder, lights

get brighter, everything is extreme. Then tiredness hits me. Just

SLAM! I feel like I just have to close my eyes. But that's when I

haul myself up and get moving. Because if I do sit around, it doesn't

get better. I just want to sleep.

Good luck!

Hello antwan50:

(Psst, signing your name on your messages would make " conversation " easier...)

There surely must be some folks who can do it, but to date the results are

pretty interesting, and its one of those areas we aren't even close <gentle

shrug> 99.9% of the time, (I wonder if its another of those T1 vs. T? areas

????). And as most probably know, the ability of folks 15, 20 yrs. in so to

speak lose symptoms all together, but good interesting work is being done in

that arena, and they appear to be having good results reducing that problem...

or so we're told anyway.

Antwan,

You may want to check the paperwork that came with your meter or

strips. Most meters have a " margin of error " greater than the

difference that you are reporting ---- if so, there is no statistical

difference between 106 and 114. Essentially, those readings are

identical --- and you can't assume that your BG went up or down.

> >well.........yeah, I never stated that my bs levels went up or

down.....I just gave the number results.....and I did read the paperwork

The amount of exercise of exercise that I did that morning should have

dropped my bs level by 30 points.....hence a result within 10 percent

of 76.......it did not......plus I did not feel any low blood sugar

symptoms................and I have compared my meter results to the

doc's meter as well as the lab test..........registers 2 to 6 points

higher ........trail n error......yawn

thanks,
