I used to test fasting and then pre and post one meal per day (roaating breakfast, lunch, dinner), but since I've had a spike in A1C and been placed on insulin, I test fasting, pre and post all meals, and bedtime.

For dealing with a cold, I like to make sure that I have a stash of sugar-free meds on help. At the start of the season I always buy a few boxes of the sugar free Theraflu/NeoCitran, cough drops, and cough syrup. These things suddenly become hard to find when you're sick.

I did not eat a high carb meal as my post-prandial numbers from dinner only went up 1.7 mmol/L. Also, my lunch wasn't too fatty or high in protein to give a delayed spike. Yes, I will getting my c-peptide test done. I will get the requisition when I see my doctor later next month.

Will an overlap of "insulin dosages" cause an issue? Is there a potential for hypos? Thanks for the link. I will research that and may try to do a basal test over the weekend.

Yes, I am not either. My goal pre meals is 5.9 or lower. My goal post meals are 7.9 or lower. My team agrees with this goal 'cause I had a dramatic spike in my A1C. I was just curious as to what is the better option. I read that bolusing for type 2s is not recommended until the daily insulin...

So my lantus works for 18 hours. I wake up with decent fasting numbers and then I take tablets (metformin XR 2000 mg + gliclizide MR 120 mg) with breakfast. I find that my best blood sugar levels around lunch time. Today at lunch: Pre- Prandial - 5.6 mmol/L 2 hours post - 6.3 mmol/L Dinner...

The list seems okay. I think some of things on the list are more of a eat non-processed carbs and not all are low carb options. Out of the list my favourite is chia seed pudding. I also like to have the following: Plain unsweetened fat-free greek yogurt + raspberries (15 grams carbs and 7...

My lantus dosage is 20 units. CDPM, what are your blood sugar levels? If not too personal, what is your weight category (normal, overweight, obese, or morbidly obese)? Do you also bolus? What other anti hyperglycemic agents do you take? What was your starting dosage of lantus and how did you...

20 units of Lantus.

I'm Canadian, too. I've gotten results like your and was told to multiple by 100. It's 11.8%.

I think you I think you're right. On my A1C lab reports it will say something like 0.105 and we're supposed to multiply it by 100 which makes it 10.5%

What is a fasting basal test?

Wow, this seems really dangerous. This restriction can put your life at risk. I was advised to use a new needle with every injection and test extra if I felt a hypo/hyper spell or were sick. Are you able to get strips and needles without a prescription? Is the cost prohibitive to you? Can you...

When you don't get enough blood on the test strip When you accidentally buy regular almond milk instead of unsweetened almond milk When people judge you for having a mint or desert or candy 'cause a mint is gonna suddenly cause your imminent death, but offer you pasta, bread etc When people...
