I hope everyone celebrating, (and not celebrating), has enjoyed a very merry Christmas, and are enjoying the entire holiday season. Last week I was here, panicky about my over 500 reading. That was a week ago Friday, PM. Felt quite lousy until Wednesday PM, although the levels were going down. I went to my Dr. on Tues AM, and spoke with him about taking me off of the Novalog 70/30 mix. He said that he felt it best for me to stay on it until I can tolerate the Metformin, (I'm now at 500 in AM, and 500 PM), and am able to up the dosage to 1000 AM, and 1000 PM. He said that he doesn't think I'll have to stay on the insulin.???????????????????????????????????? So, since Wed., my levels have gone done. I don't remember when I was ever this low!!!!! About 10 minutes ago, I was at 83. It's 11:00 PM here now. Before dinner I was 126, before lunch I was 98, and felt yucky. My AM fasting reading was 187. I've been on 14 U of Novalog AM and 14 U
PM, since Tuesday PM. Since last weekend I have eaten a few pieces of bread....nothing between meals....minimal sized portions, except for today. My carbs have been in the form of vegetables, and salad, (duh...salad is vegetables too!!!). I ate a lot of fat today...prime rib, butter....not a bite of bread! I'm wondering if this is good or if I am "under doing it"???????????????? So last week, I was stressing over HypERglycemia....now I'm concerned with hyPOglycemia! I go back to the doctor this coming Tuesday. Anyway, my not eating the wrong things this Christmas, is not due to my great willpower.....the fact is...I'm scared to death of my bs going up so high again! I'm so glad I found this wonderful site! Where else would anyone care how peoples blood sugars are during the holidays!!!??? Nancy
