My BG fell below 120 for the first time ever!

It's 116, pre dinner. No correction necesary. Yay!

I had my McDonalds special this morning. :o
I had a spinach salad, tomatoes, eggs, marinated mushrooms, apple sauce, a little steak, and pineapple for lunch! Water to drink. :cool: I figure the apple sauce and the pineapple contributed carbs and I estimated at 50g carbs. :confused: I was at 206 pre lunch and gave myself a 4 unit shot.

Must have been the correction. My correction factor is 25.

That's great news but be warned: insulin is a major fat storage hormone... eating carbs and "covering" it with insulin may give you good BG levels -- for now -- but it's a sure-fire recipe for weight gain, increased IR and the need for even more insulin down the road... a vicious cycle in other words. I've been there and I wish I knew to cut back on the refined/concentrated carbs way back when.

I did not know this. Thanks for mentioning it.
