I'm curious as to why you're asking this questoin....You don't seem to be in
any danger of your BG levels going too low. Eating cheerios for breakfast
ain't exactly the best idea, if you ask me. When your numbers get up to 194
you're doing damage, no matter if you go exercise to bring it back down.
It's best not to ever let it get up that high. Testing in a proper set
pattern should tell you best what foods to eat and what foods to not eat.
You won't learn that by testing with no set pattern.

Meds can result in BG going too low if you're controling diet and
exercising. That's when you know it's time to get off meds. But you seem
to be going in the other direction at the moment -- from not needing meds to
needing them.

You don't say how long after meals you test, BTW. 1 hr, 2hr, or 30 minutes?
