What in the world..........

One of those mornings..... I woke up low, ate a banana bolused for the carbs went to work,had a small muffin bolused, for the next two hours my bloodsugar climbed to 250 as I bolused at least 3 times to overcome it. Sometimes I just shake my head and realize that to my body, today may not be like yesterday and the day before. Even though it seems like it....oh well, finally down to where I should be now as I stay on guard for lows.....

Keep going......Peace, Bob

Much improved glucose levels

This last week or so, I have been eating fewer carbohydrates and less fast acting carbs. I have seen a marked improvement in my glucose levels espescially after 2 or 3 hours after a meal. I have added back exercise the last few days.(I had stopped for a few weeks as I had the upper respiratory infection from he77).

My morning glucose readings are much better and in range since I have dropped the number of carbohydrates I eat at breakfast. Normally I would spike high for 2-4 hours after breakfast and then have to fight all day to get back down, trying not to do the hi-low ping pong thing. I was typically eating around 40 carbs in the morning, and I have dropped to about 20 or 25. Maybe I will even lose a few pounds and regain my svelte figure....ha ha...

I am always amazed at how much better my physical and mental being improves when I exercise regularly. You would think I would have figured that out long ago since I have been lucky enough to have this disease for 44 years. I love my trikke. check it out here www.trikke.com
