oh my woke in middle of night cold sweat. bG 44

hi ajk oh I will see my p rimary care doctor in several weeks. di haha wow does your wife b uy that excuse lol oh she could come back honey the webdoctor says exerciseis good for diabetes to keep your blood sugar do wn,. lol there goes your excuse ha ha You do know this diabetes is really a balanceing game lol lob.i feel fine today so will be ca re f ul with my snack tonight.

my wife knows my sence of humour so i get away with nothing. the 'di' comment has become a bit of a catchphrase in the house. my son says it before i can when she asks me to do something.

Hatley, I worked with a client for three years that if we did not wait the full two hours after she finished eating, she would test high, take insulin, and then be very down the next morning. I am really wondering if that 190 was too early a reading. Of course I do not know your testing protocol. This young lady only tested before breakfast and then two hours after supper, because she had gotten in such good control. She only ever had insulin if she tested above 176. I had one staff that was lazy and always wanted to go home early and would test her at about 1 hr. forty five minutes. At that point she always read high and the girl would give her insulin and go home. I also worked for a short time with an extremely brittle client. Some said he had sweets hidden in his room, I do not know. I was day staff two days a week. I came in at 8 and his staff said, "He is 480, I am not feeding him." I of course said he had to feed him so he could have his fast acting insulin, he always ate sausage and eggs. By ten thirty a.m. he said to me, I do not feel good . . .he had dropped to 48 in just a little over two hours.No exercise, no drinking extra water. We never knew why. He is a young man with too much mental difficulties to be compliant with any protocol.

Wow, that is scary Hatley..As you know, I hate diabetes and how it affects people's lives... I hope your doctor can help you keep your sugar more level...

hi I called him and yes eating too sweet a p eanut butter cup can send it high then a few hours later crash so anm okay now just learned what not to eat again., lol lol

yes I can call t hem Monday .I think the chocolate peanut buitter cuips were wa y too hi gh.it was a new brand and on sale. I usually use Reeces as its lower in su gar. so i went high then crashed. I am okay now but the 44 really scared me. I got it up pretty quickly and was 10 7 when I g ot up so that was fine.

no gardengerty I am on three pills andI am guessing may be one too many bu t yes I am afraid the chocolate peanut butter cup over did it as I could use reeces and that was okay but this was super sweet and reeses are not so I crashed., thats what I was afraid of., it boggled my mind that the staff do not keep anything for low blood sugar here so you are on you own,.I learned to keep well stocked with things I knew would bring my blood sugar up faster.yes I seldom go that low.that was scary for sure

hisinful rose if I take a squ are of 95 percent dark chocolate it will not raise it but lighter chocolate has much more sugar in it and milk sugar is worst of all not for diabetics at all.

As I've suspected. I always drink hot chocolate from cocoa more than from powdered products of the market. I still get energy however, the taste is too bitter for me to handle without some non-dairy milk. I was advised to drink hot cocoa every afternoon because I have need of its fiber.

Does chocolate on its own, I mean the pure cocoa form, affect blood sugar? I just wanna know.

You can even get Reeses with dark chocolate. Yum. I guess a bargain is not always a saving thing when it comes to your health. My sister just recently had to have her Metformin cut in half and my brother was allergic to it, but he took glyphiside, and then got his under control and is off of it.

hi Sinfulrose i am sugar it was the chocolate peanut butter cup that did me in went high then crashed,dark chocolate will not do that am fine now and going to be much more careful too.44 was way too low and dangereous too.

typo I am sure not sugar darn.,

hi ravi yes there is that but I have to check mine three times a day as I am on metformin, Januvia and glyburide.Yes it was my docgtor who decided I needed to do this.yes I a m as i got it up to normal without overdolingit.I think the chocolate peanut b utter c up s had way too much sugar so I went up then cr ashed44 id way too low,some will pass out at that low. bu t I am getting to be an old hand at this. Januvia is the new onein the mix.

thanks ravi and you are so right. I need to talk to m y doctor as he took me off one med and then the staff here put me back on it so maybe I am taking too much med to bring it down,I assumed they had called himand he said to put me back on it.

Hatley aunty: I agree you have to test your sugar at intervals. You are doing it as per doctor's advice, Based on practice chart out a food schedule that suits you and go by it also do not exceed medicine dosage without advice from doctors. I have an aunty 96+ years and she is fine and able to walk and do her duties. I wish you also stay very health for many more years and that of course requires your willingness and god's willingness.

the roomie calls it "bleck cheese" But we didn't have ranch when I was a kid. We ate Italian mostly at home, blue cheese was a restaurant treat.

hi ElicBxn when I was still cooking for my self I discoveredd hidden Valley ranch and its delicous but love blue cheese tooand Italianfor me italian is probably best for for me.although cheese does not bother my blood sugar.

oh bunnybon I do hope your oldest son at least checks on you as for yo ur daughter and that boy friend I d o not know what to' say.surely as you are their mom they should at least peek in'and see yo u are okay the staff here check in the afternoon and again arou nd bedtime.I wo uld have called them early this nmorning bu t I had had it with them never having anythiong on handto raiselow blood sugar,.so I keep things here to treat m yself.

hi dorannmwin no I talked to my doctor and he told me do not ever eat that brand of chocolate p eanut butter cups as they contain six times the amount of sugar as reeces do. so stayway from them as that made you go high then crash.I was surprised that he knew that brand.

hi professor I am so sorry you and Kalyani both have that darned neuropahty in your feet. I had that when first diagnoese but hurried and lost 50 pounds, so was taken off all meds. buwt when I lost my husband I went into sort of a tailspine and let my weight g o and had to be put back ojn three oral medications januvia'metformin and glyburide. I talked to my doctor and he scolded me telling me that brand of chocolate peanut butter is loaded with table sugar in both c hocolate and the peanut butter too. so do not ever eat itI told him no I sure will not as s that was scary ., I am fine n ow.

Am happy, thanks for telling me, god bless you

hi babycatch not all things that taste greart are great for me. m my doctor told me the brand is cheap as its loaded with table sugar in both the chocolate and the peanut butter,he said I was right first it shot my blood glucose up then crashed it.so I a greed I will not eat t hat stuff a gain .
