I am going to try to journal again. I have been low all day. The lowest was 34. My high for today was 71. I don't know what the problem is. Maybe it is because I had tuna with a small slice of homemade bread for lunch and didn't eat again until dinner time. For dinner I had beans and hot dogs. We are getting to the bottom of the barrel food wise. My nerves have been on edge all day. I have the feeling that I have forgotten something but don't know what. Oh well more tomorrow. It's time for bed. night all! voni |

Hi Voni, Any chance you forgot your steroids? Or are you now reducing the dose thus you don't need as much insulin? Hope things are better for you today  |

That is very low and you must be able to handle it as we are all individuals but generally you would be in danger of passing out with 34. I have never heard of it being that low without an incident occuring. Don't you feel shaky and disorientated at that low? I sure hope you get to feeling better. That would really scare me. I am sure they have told you to keep perhaps some hard candies or what I keep is a small tube of that decorating type icing around and in my purse in case I get the shakes. God Bless |

Cuddles Do you know that after you drank the OJ you should have eaten a small amount of protein and perhaps a half slice of toast or 2 or 3 crackers to keep you bg from spiking then plummeting again? The addition of a little protein and a little longer acting carb will level it all out and make you feel better. Not to tell anyone what to do. |

Yes SarahQ, the dose on the solumedrol was reducing down and I am actually done with that med. I had my hearing test done this morning and the ENT said everything was alright. As for my lows, I was feeling alright. Just a little bit of shakiness when i tried to stand up but that was all. And I bounce back and forth. I got busy yesterday and didn't post. I was delivering hay until way late. My bg's during the delivery ran 120 to 135 but right before bed is when I have the worst problem. I jump all the way to HI. Too friendly of a meter if you ask me. Today was a day full of grocery shopping and other errands and again I was down in the 40's I stopped for breakfast. I had very little to chose from. So I had a donut and felt a little better. I have been feeling off today cause of the cramps I had last night. I had severe cramping on the tops of my feet. And I tell ya, I would have rather had a baby! The pain was horrid! And to top it off, when I got up this morning, I had no voice! I haven't been able to speak above a low whisper all day. Now I am just really very tired. Time for bed. voni |
