I don't know what to make of this. I'm your typical, garden variety
diabetic-light. That is, normally, one foot on either side of 100mg/dl
with
fbgs always a little too high but too high to be exciting. I'm a "Child of
Jennifer," consistently 120 and 140 with the one-hour, two-hour after meal
thing when I'm prudent about diet.

Then, last night after my usual dinner (more or less) of a chicken leg
quarter (I ate a little of the skin - I like the burnt part - and put the
rest on the floor by the rat hole in the wall behind the piano.... they
like
the skin but I think the dog ate it), a little BBQ sauce, salad with
onions,
lettuce, tomato, yellow bell pepper, crumbled blue cheese, grapes, olives,
South Beach Ranch, and 8 strawberries dipped in fake yogurt washed down
with
2 fake (no alcohol) beers.

Just before bed, about an hour and a half after dinner, I tested expecting
the usual 120 or so and, Cripes...Shock! - 78...weird.

Anybody got any ideas about that? Is in menopause? Leprosy? It damn sure
ain't normal.

John

Actually - it is normal, or not far from it. It's what I'd
expect, or close to it, about that time after a dinner like
that - although I'm not sure about the "fake" things.

You had no symptoms of a low, so I would consider 78(4.3)
quite acceptable. In fact, I'd feel guilty using it as an
excuse to have a treat, like a scoop of ice cream or an
extra aquare of chocolate, because it isn't warranted. But
I'd still have the treat:-)

Maybe you've just improved more than you thought.

Well, I've been happy with just "stabilized" but if "improved" sneaks in
there I'd be even happier. It just bothered me because was sudden, as
opposed to a gradually drop over a period of time. Anyway, I hope your take
on it holds true.

John


Just for info, I had an extra half-slice of bread with my
lunch-time soup; I shouldn't have done that - I had a high
(for me) of 7.9 (142) at 1:45. I had made this soup a little
more carby than usual at my master's request - more barley,
an extra spud across the ten serves.

Later, at 5pm I was 4.5 (81). No symptoms of a low, no
problems, able to continue the work I was doing with no
drama. Just normal.

I'm quite happy with the lower number although I'm
definitely not pleased with myself over the high one. So,
back to a smaller serve and a half-slice next time.


Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
