Morning wake up readings - Part 7

[TeddySue]

reducing my carb intake is the only way I can get sub 100 numbers on most days, ( just not today)

I totally agree that LOW carbs are the best way to get a morning BG under 100. Since quitting Glipizide a couple weeks ago I have had those sub 100s; just waiting to see what I do the rest of the day to decide if I need to up the Lantus up one unit tonight. Do you feel a 111 is too high for a morning BG? I guess if it doesn't continue to rise then I've found a good regime. At least I'm not back to the 60s.

Rest is very important. I hope you find time to catch up. Do you have a plan on how to lose that 2 pounds? I'd love to hear your plan.

Last night I had 101 before bed around 10.30 PM and I got up at 4.30 AM with little headache and I checked sugar level and it was 120. Wow? Then I had a cereal with milk and coffee, tested again at 8.0AM, it's down to 93? Not sure, why it happened and also how to avoid the early morning spikes? Although, I usually run 5 miles in evening on most of the day’s in a week and but still it doesn’t help to stabilize morning sugar levels under 100 consistently? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

WOW! Your A1c is great! Low carbs at night and exercise at a different time might even things out; just keep testing and writing everything down. Congratulations on undertaking diabetes without meds and doing such a good job.

102 ..........

I'm sorry you are sad with 102. Are you going lower on carbs? I have lowered to 30 carbs and under and have seen faster weight loss: have lost 31 pounds since 3/24/12. Thank you for all the help I've gotten from your posts.

I thought I had run out, only to find the box of 50 last night after buying a WalMart meter and 100 strips. I hope things even out for you today. My number was 111 this morning and I read that several of us have been in the 100s for a morning BG. All we can do is keep on keeping on.

I stole a few strips off my husband last night to hold me today, and tomorrow I'm buying an "emergency" Freestyle meter with 50 strips, to hold me until either the strips I bought on June 1st arrive (international shipping) or the free ones I'm waiting on from the government arrive (I was promised next Thursday, but who knows when dealing with a bureaucracy).
