Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Well I hope.
I am back to share how I did today with my food and numbers.
I weighed in but am not down too much yet from what I gained in the hospital.
Moving on to what is more important - Fasting blood sugar: 79!
Meal 1 - Beef & pork stick
Small bag of protein puffs (pizza flavored)
Blood sugar after - 86
Snack - Quest chocolate covered cookie
Blood sugar after - 91
Meal 2 - 6 oz (or so) of chicken breast
2 servings cheddar jack cheese
Mayo & no sugar added ketchup
Followed by a low carb/sugar free peanut butter cup
Blood sugar after that - 88
Final snack - low carb "twix" (from slimfast)
Blood sugar after - 83
So great blood sugars all day. I was thinking that I would need more insulin, possibly on an insulin pump - but if I keep it low carb may just need the one shot a day.
Macros -
Calories - 1,168
Protein - 88
Fat - 83
Net carbs - 12
Sugar - 6
I think I did pretty good with the food today, got some low carb treats and my blood sugar stayed good.
For those who want to know - still no referral to the endocrinologist. Don't know when I will see my regular doc again either. 
What do you all think of that?

Numbers were even lower today. I guess the insulin is working, just 10 units once a day.
