Thanks, but the crazy thing is I keep getting really high. Right now my bg is 305 on the Accucheck Plus. I'm gonna go check on the Ultra2...254. Like I said the other day, the Plus reads a lot higher than the LifeScan meters. I feel like a failure when I keep underestimating the carbs. We went out for salad, meatball sandwich, and then I gave in to temptation and had dessert--ice cream on a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. MY BAD!!!
(Someone kick me!!)

So Im hoping for at least a mid-5 or else I'm gonna get yelled at.
I'd love to get a 5.8 without it being the result of highs getting balanced out by lows. |
I'll never see the 4's. My wife got yelled out for numbers in the 4's too. I couldn't understand why; her hypos weren't that frequent. We both think she's a 1.5, and she's on a pump. Her last was 5.1 and the doc is cool with that.
I hear you too--I hate getting killer lows. i don't mind the usual 55-60, but when I hit less than 45 I'm miserable for a while. The lows intrude on my life when I'm busy. I can't count how many hours I've had to sit at my PC recovering from a low, when I'd rather be working in my shop. I count myself lucky to make it through an entire gardening session without having to run in for tablets or a snack. But having just complained about all this stuff, I must tell everyone I'm so much better off than before I began pumping. I get low because I forget to turn my pump down for prolonged activities, so it's my own fault. I get kinda sloppy with the details...
