| Well I wound up not taking any Metformin again yesterday just as a continued miniexperiment. I did take one this morning though to get back on track.
Yesterday I did test 10 times!
After cutting the grass and losing 1.5 lbs of water (according to my scale...it sure was hot and humid) I was a 108 mg/dL.
For dinner, had 1/4 left over ribeye steak, medium sized salad with spinach leaves, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 cup of chicken breast, and mushrooms with a olive oil / basalmic vinegar dressing. Also had a low carb tortilla with the homemade low carb chili again and finished it off with a Dannon sugar free and fat free blueberry yogurt. Felt pretty full after this meal.
1/2 hour after eating, BG was 145. One hour after eating, BG was 153. Two hours later, I was back down to 114. I didn't take any Metformin again last night.
Woke up this morning still sore from the workout 2 days ago (did some new exercises that work muscles from different angles) and tested at a 107. My six day morning average has been 108. Ate breakfast, 2 egg whites again and 1 turkey sausage link and a piece of provolone cheese. It sure would be nice to have a whole wheat waffle. I bought some just haven't tried to see how they affect me yet. I did take 500 mg of Metformin after breakfast to get back on track with my meds. At this point, I wish I knew how much the Met was helping me out vs. just the diet and exercise alone as I've read it takes a few weeks for Met to start working. I've decided to get back on it though and follow what the Dr. has asked me to do.
I'd like to work more carbs into my diet too. I've felt a little weak at times during the past few weeks because of the heavy workouts and limited carbs. I believe my body is getting readjusted to all of this. Just a low carb diet would make one feel different for a while as the body readjusts.
The exercise part of this regimen has huge upside for me as I pretty much was a couch potato for a couple of years. I did mention this to my Dr.
I'll keep experimenting with the food / carbs and keep posting.
