How is everyone doing today? I tested at 53 this morning. I was awake at 5:30AM sucking on watermelon glucose tablets. I was sick last night and skipped dinner but still took my full dose of Lantus. Live and learn!
My name is Riet or also Maria,my bloodsugar was 5.0 this morning.I am on insulin for 40years.And lucky that we lived before 1920 otherwise we would have been some of the unlucky people who caught diabetes at that time and did not live very long.I am on Actrapid, and at night i also take Lantusolostar i have to check my BLG at about 2 in the morning as My bloodsugars can be very low,i als o have had lots of up and down's in my live but i fought back.This is all for now.Riet.
Wow hope you felt better soon. My body still feels hypo at 70. I have been reading a lot in all the books that came with my pump. I just finished reading last night about dealing with blood sugars when you are sick and they recommend even drinking some real juice if thats all you can keep down Guess they were right
106 is not a bad number. You are well within the acceptable range set by the ADA. Stress has been known to increase BS. Sometimes this will happen and can't be avoided.
I've been using erythritol - it's a little pricey, but I don't use a lot. It is absorbed instead of being metabolized, so is less likely to create "disturbances". I got started on it when I was using Truvia . . . noticed they mix their stevia with erythritol instead of maltodextrin like the splenda people use.
wtg, shanny and breeze! While I know 106 isn't bad, it is not as good as I had been doing. My readings at various times of the day have all been higher in the last few weeks, and I know without doubt that it is stress.
((((Wish)))) Is there any chance your work situation will smooth out any time soon, and the stress factor be reduced? It's a real bummer to be faced with every day . . . my last position before retirement did that to me, and I wasn't even diabetic in those days!
Weird night for me . . . I didn't test before bed - fell in early last night about 9pm. Was awake again about 1am, so got up - tested 99 about 2am. Got drowsy again about 4am, tested 109, so ate a coupla beef sticks to ward off the liver dump. Too late. Slept 'til 11:30 & tested 118. Ick!
I went to bed with a 19 last night (opps) but it went down to 6.7 when I woke up this morning. My glucose doesn't always remain consistent during the night!

I completely agree!! But sometimes it does, and I can never work out the pattern. It's always a gamble if I inject to reduce my glucose before bed if it's that high.
My FBS was 57 this morning. I ate 3 glucose tabs and that brought it up to 77. I went to bed with a 156 reading and gave myself a 3 unit dose of Novolog to bring it down. Fell asleep before I could test to see how much the 3 units lowered my reading. Oh well...
I noticed a trend with my fasting number, if I start the day out with a high number (over 100 for me) then I seem to run high all day. I am not sure why this is, but it happens. Before I started taking Lantus, I got slammed by the dawn phenomenon every day. After I got my Lantus dosage stablized, the DP stopped. If you ever need to take insulin, you probably can kiss the DP goodbye!
Came home from work this morning, tested at 121..ate something, went to sleep. Woke up this afternoon at 78. Wonder why I only wake up high when I am home and sleeping at night instead of working and sleeping in the day? Maybe its just messing with me flipping my schedule around from days to nights all the time.
I have no doubt that's what happening, Pam . . . constantly having your schedule change has to have an effect. Great FBG today . . . enjoy those when they do come along!
