Missy..... I'm no doctor just a T1 diabetic on insulin for 34 yrs..... so please, as Mary suggested, speak with your doctor before you do anything but maybe you can get some ideas to talk over with him/her.....
First of all, you have to get yourself on a consistant and timed eating schedule.... no matter if anyone else is home or not..... and not matter what time others are eating....if you have eaten, you don't eat with them again. If you have to eat by yourself, you have to eat by yourself..... that's all there is to it.
I take 23 units of Lantus every morning.... and that's it for me.... no regular, no pills...just that amount of Lantus..... but this is what I eat during the course of the day....
Breakfast: 8a.m.
cup of black coffee
1/3 c. dry oatmeal with enough soy milk to moisten.... microwave it and more soy milk to moisten again....
sprinkled with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 prunes cut up into oatmeal
no sweetner....
Lunch: 12 noon
1/2 c. carb as in brown rice or two slices of Ezekiel bread.... no potatoes, chips, white breads/rice or any of that
a vegetable... green beans, turnip, romaine lettuce, fresh carrot cut up, celery, onion, garlic.(no peas, corn or starchy veggies)
maybe some chicken, tuna, salmon or makeral as they are the only meats that I eat.
Supper:
salad made with romaine lettuce.
snack: 2 sl. of ezekiel bread and 1 cup of puffed brown rice with soy milk to moisten.
All meals/snacks are eaten with water... no dairy, no sodas....
And that is it for the day..... if I can keep on my own schedule (which most days I can) I'm fine with that menu....
But that is me.... like I said, the most important thing you can do is get on YOUR OWN eating schedule. That should help your morning bs's... if you're loading up at 11:00 at night, it isn't any wonder your morning fastings are higher than 120.
I know that you can't get into a rigorous exercise routine at this point but if you can at least get your eating scheduled and maintained, that should help you tremendously.
I'm going to say this and understand that this is just my opinion..... if you can get to a dietition, you should..... I think you are taking alot of insulin and that is putting you on a rollercoaster..... you just got to start somewheres to get a grip on managing your diabetes.... just my opinion hon.... and we've all been in the very place you are so these words are coming from experience... not any kind of judgment..... keep posting and let us know how you are doing, okay? see ya. Peace,Cheryl
