I woke up this morning with a low blood sugar (60) so I had a snack well bar. I should have taken a little less insulin last night. When I am on program needing less insulin is a benefit. There was a time when I took much more insulin all day long. I now only take a long lasting insulin at night. I probably could be controled by oral meds but I have had some nasty side affects in the past and I do not mind the needle it comes in a pin is actually less expensive for me, 5 pens cost me $40 and last 6 months.

My opinion about snack bars. You really need to read the labels. Cause with some of them you might as well eat a candy bar. I look for high protein and low sugar. The one I had today had 8 gr of protein and 6 gr sugar. A good bang for my nutritional buck.
I didn't know you were diabetic. My father was too. He was much worse off than you though because he didn't take care of himself like you do.
ReplyDeleteI check my blood sugar periodically and it's usually good, except the one time it went down to 50 for some reason. (???)
I agree about the snack bars. Yogurt is also a gotcha. That one little cup of yogurt can have anywhere from 80 to over 200 calories and they also vary greatly in fat content!
Have a GREAT day!
Your so right about the yougart-I usually buy plain Greek yougart. I do have to mix in a little splenda. This past week I had a coupon for a yougart with some chopped almonds on the side.190 cals. I will need to rethink you standard breakfast. But sometimes change is good.
