So I am thinking the Dr in Colorado is right. I lowered my dose of the Lantus back to 80 units and I am took 1/2 at night and 1/2 in the morning. My sugars started out at 246 today (surprise, surprise). My day went as follows:
Breakfast: crepe with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
10 units Humalog
Before lunch test: 194
Lunch: 1 full can (2 servings) split pea soup
28 units Humalog
Two hours after lunch test: 163
Before dinner: 109! (yea!)
started to get really shaky and so I ate a brownie! I totally justified that one!
Dinner: Portobello mushroom sandwich (yummy!) (Big mushroom, onions, green peppers, on a whole wheat flat bread bun)
****Ate two more brownies while cooking!****
I felt good today with the exception of feeling VERY hungry all day and worried about getting a headache.
My husband wants to do HerbalLife, but I have told him that 1) I don't want to spend our money on it and 2) He can lose weight without it just fine. He said it would be worth it to be able to lose 20 lbs in a month. I reminded him that he lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks once from cutting his calories and stopping soda. This is good that he brought it up though because I am thinking he may be more willing to hop on the train of losing weight making our food choices easier on me! :)
I was proud of myself because after I logged off last night, I followed through and worked out for 1/2 hour. I plan to do the same tonight. Even though I ate all the brownies tonight, I am pretty proud of myself for the day overall.
This is my outlet of dealing with my diabetes. I was born in 1973 and although I am sure I had it for years, I was diagnosed in 1998 with type 2 diabetes. I have never had control (other than the 9 months I was pregnant). I have neuropothy in my feet and can no longer feel them. I am also seeing that my body is breaking down faster and I feel like I am 80 some days. So, I am trying to change things out of fear and this is my blog about it.
