| I eat the same breakfast 6x a week and try to eat the same lunch about 4x a week and have noticed that my numbers are pretty consistent. The only issue for me is dessert time, when I have a fairly tough time predicting how much to take. I take Novolog for meals and Lantus at night, and my A1c tests have been 12.2 (first dxd), 5.2 (3 months) and 5.8 (6 months). Most of my readings lately have been in the 130's.
I wish I could exercise like some of you, I just don't have the will power to spend all that time doing it. I used to be a pretty fair athlete, but work and kids and volunteering just sap my energy pretty quickly. I do notice, though, that exercise will force my bg down rapidly, so I have to have Gatorade on hand, just in case. I've been down to a measured 27 before, so I wouldn't recommend the anxiety of seeing that on your meter!
