Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 The cheese stick probably had no carbs, Check the label!. If so then morning fasting BG number probably would not be affected. Even so technically not a fasting Bg number. S Wilkinson, Rome, New York ? Woke up at 5 and had a cheese stick thinking it would help with dawn phenomenon. Went back to sleep until 9. Am wondering if morning bf number would be a true fasting number since I had a snack at 5 what do you think??? sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 , anyone?, What wrote below about the a.m. test problably not meaning much if you ate carbs during the night seems to make sense but I have a problem with the concept. I do a night and morning test as well as others during some days to see what I can or can't eat in new foods or combinations. BUT I want to know what WON'T work for me as well as what WILL work for me. I want to know the high numbers. I want to know if I am in trouble. I am not playing games with my glucometer. I am using it to get information that I might or can act on if I want to. Am I doing something wrong? JUDITH > The cheese stick probably had no carbs, Check the label!.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Judith, You need to test before you eat and then test 1 and 2 hours after eating. Then you will see what the thing you are eating is doing to your BG's. For a Fasting Bg in the morning you should not have anything to eat for 6 hours. Most labs want you to fast for 12 - 14 hrs.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Judith: No, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I, too, test frequently for exactly the same reason. If I see a high number, and I'm tracking the diet/exercise, I can then see better indicators of foods to avoid, etc. Some people really hate the numbers game - it's stressful for them, so in some aspects it's a YMMV sort of thing!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 During my reading I came across an article you may find interesting. http://www.jcaai.org/pp/pp-food_allergy_03-06.pdf Laurel family Avocado Cinnamon Bay leaf On page 26 it lists different allergy familys..groups of foods and or pollens that have at least 6 genes structurally equivilant that can cause cross reactivity in some patients.. Now I believe it was you who is allergic to Cinnamon..although I will admit I am suffering from brain melt so I could be wrong. But it does provide an interesting study on food groups etc..and too much info on allergies. Kats3boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
