I believe I'm eating properly, watching the carbs but when I do the 2 hour after a meal BS it is usually anywhere from 180's to 212. The 1 hour is usually around 150's-160's. I'm allowed 40 carbs a meal but most times don't even have half of that.
It could be, when my B.S. Has been high, I get hot and sweaty.
I'm pretty new to this disease, but I have noticed that food combinations effect how high and how fast I spike. If I eat protein with my meal I won't spike as fast. I was taught that I should aim to keep my bs from going up by less than forty 2 hours after a meal. So, I check my sugar before I eat, if it's running over 120 I'm more careful with portion size. I've learned that even if I'm eating very healthy, portion size plays a role. Foods that take longer to digest seem to keep me from spiking though my bs will still go up. As far as counting carbs go I watch out for them and don't eat the foods known to be high in carbs, but I don't count them as carefully as those who are on injections. I was told to keep mine around 40, but those portion sizes are too large for me most of the time. My best tool is this tiny little skillet I bought. If I can't cook it in that I don't eat it. It's true I've learned how to cram that little sucker full but that's ok. Ha.
Is it Frits or Fruit? Confused π€·π»ββοΈ Kathy
I'm having the same issue. I'm asking them to evaluate delayed stomach emptying to see if that's the culprit. I'm trialing taking my bolus after I eat to match my peak....
