64 (3.54) this morning, 76 (4.2) at bedtime.

Yay Tamagno, hope the numbers stay down!!

@Wally, my experience was similar to yours. Give it a couple of days and I think you will see good relief.

@Sojodave, I'm a little confused at when the readings were taken. Was start at 8:30 and the 137 at one hour making the 10:30 at 2 hours? Or was 8:30 the 1 hr and 10:30 then 3 hrs? Sure you could drop down that much in 3 hours. It would really help get the full picture though if you had taken a before reading.

Ate at 7:30pm (The Costa Vida Chicken Salad)
Tested at 8:30pm and got 137
Tested at 10:30ish and got 98
Tested at 7:00am this morning and got 107

 

[grammaB]

OK, thanks. A 2 hour test would give some good info. It is down in good range by 3 hrs so my guess is you were about there when you started. Always try to take a before and 1-2- & 3 hr (if needed) readings when eating something new. Sounds like the salad worked for you.

 

[Sojodave]

Thanks, I was playing with the Costa Vida website nutrition calculator. Some of there Smothered Pork Burritos have 337 carbs. WOW!!!

105 this am. Numbers on the way down. Let's see how I handle the weekend. First hockey game of the year for our local minor league team , usually involves pregame meal and select beverages. Oh the temptations at the game too. Mini donuts, candied nuts, pulled pork sandwiches, BEER! wish me luck!

[Tamagno]

166 this morning.

A blissfully brief day with an open house shortening classes and SATs eliminating several. I may be home before lunch!

 

[macksvicky]

90 again this cold morning, but at least the rain has stopped Have a great Saturday everyone!!

 

[mbuster]

A 106 (5.9) this morning. About 3 hours more sleep than normal.

 

[bignick]

113, disappointing! My 7 day average is 107.4 this with eating LC to VLC and a minimum of about an hour of brisk walking per day.

115 this morning, I suspect the effect of the cortisone shot is at work. It ran a little higher all day yesterday but still not that bad.

Wally,

You've got an explanation for your elevated figure which is still below the damaging threshold and the treatment you're getting is hopefully delivering some much needed pain relief?

Win, win!:boxing:

82 this wet morning.

 

[grammaB]

69 (3.8) this dark, cloudy, breezy morning, 71 (3.9) at bedtime.

62°F with rain supposedly on the way. Low for tonight 30°F with snow in the forecast for overnight and tomorrow morning. Going out to cover the plants that need covering with a layer of leaves. I bought a Thermo Cube for the pump house. It will turn the heater on at 35°F and off at 45°F. Praying it is a 3 prong socket in there!! Otherwise I'll be out unplugging the heater tomorrow and disturbing the snakes again...... ugh!

 

[walkerwally1]

Yeah John, I'm not upset at all, actually, after hearing several horror stories from others about very high bg after a cortisone shot I expected much worse. I did find it interesting that it seems to be running a bit higher today than yesterday. I am quite pleased that it is no worse than it is.

 

[margilowry]

98 -- I'm so happy to see it under 100 for the first time in weeks. Starting to increase my dose of met on Sunday.

One shot really should not do much. When I was talking about my high, that was after a week of twice a day tablets, beginning with 50mg. and tapering.

5.4 this morning, snacked on stuff I should not have, last night. At least its staying under 6.

I wonder if the issue with the tablets wasn't so much the medication itself but the tablet bulking agent used? Of course, that would have been something totally innocuous like sugar
