5.3 this morning mind you that was at 9:30 so may be a bit of DP.

5.1 at 9:30

( 146 grams of carbs yesterday .. metabolism going down due to lowered levothyroxine maybe thats why my liver produces less glucose than usual but then maybe I´ll not be able to loose weight even on 1000 calories a day )

Interesting as I'm now higher Thyroxin, I'll see the effect on fbg

7.00 this am up on yesterday. Despite 19 carbs! Oh well maybe too much food? 1159 kcal. I'll keep plodding on.

@SWUSA_ It's really weird, if I eat a normal family meal with the rest of the family my FBG is always lower.

Maybe less stressed when you eat with family? I have started making meals with an easily removable carb- like bread on the side, or over rice, and I just have the same thing only not over rice but with lettuce on the side or an extra helping of the non starchy vegetable.

Mine was 12.2..... Death come already!!!!!

Do you mean that you do not feel not feel well physically or are you upset because the fasting blood sugar number was higher than you would like?

 

[jonniey]

No don't feel well at all physically....I feel like dying.

 

[jonniey]

My average blood sugar is 15 to 17

Do you need to see your doctor? Are you ill?

@azure may be able to add something also. she may want to start a thread for you. @philchap1 also may have something to add.
Are you taking your insulin? How long since you've seen your doctor?

My sugar is high most of the time I'm afraid of the humalog, hypos. so I don't inject enough when I eat.....so the highs are making me feel terrible.

I am sorry-I feel horrible when my blood sugar is that high also. I have type 2, but i have had it for quite a while. @azure and @philchap1 have type 1 and may be able to help you better than me. I just inject once a day for basal and take metformin for meals.

My lowest reading today was a 4.1 after I injected my lantus woke up on a 8.2 it's very difficult to keep it in that range.....
