My fight with diabetes

I found a new bread, thinking it would be a good idea not so much. It raised my blood  sugar to 11.4 after lunch. I tested just before dinner and it dropped down to 8.6 .  I was very disappointed since in the last 4 days I have been staying in the single digits.
I also got a wonderful surprise at shoppers since I have extended  health and I'm so very glad that I do since my testing strips are regularly 89.99, but now they are only 40.00 for me. 
So if anyone has extended health get your Doctor to write you a prescription for the strips it will cost you way less.

  2. Thanks sis. Sometimes its not as easy as I think it might be, but I'm getting the hang of it. It sucks when you know you can't have certain things that you used to have. I really miss hotdogs for some strange reason

  3. Today my was 7.3 before breakfast, after I got home from the market it went down to 6.0 good way to start the day.
    For lunch I had a fruit salad with some Yoplait strawberry parfait, for some reason that pushed my blood sugar up to 9.7. Have to see what I had that made it go that high. Tonight is left over chicken and potatoes and lots of veggies. Then off to the dog park with my girl Emma.

  4. Okay now I know why blood sugar was so high... Duh forgot to take my meds after lunch. They are very important.

  5. ok I just check blood sugar at 8:10 pm and it was 5.2. For dinner I had left over chicken and a very small amount of potatoes and some carrots and radishes. So I think I deserve some chocolate. As a matter of fact I just did.
