Dang... Back down to 75 right now, but too soon. I put a quick 1/4 cup of peanuts in me to hopefully get me to dinner that's cooking right now. Don't want to load up on carbs before dinner because I don't plan on taking any insulin for the 32 grams of brown rice carbs and the 12 grams of California Medley carbs.
I shouldn't have to worry about any more dips after that, but hopefully I don't spike too high tonight.

Nice... Those held me over until dinner. I was 125 about an hour or two after dinner and I woke up at 152.
It would appear, at least for me, that exercise is key. Without the data right in front of me, I think I had about 125 grams of carbs yesterday without any rapid, and the only time I was high was in the morning while I was sleeping until I went out and mowed the lawn.
I wonder if I went back out to pull more weeds after eating if I wasn't going to get lightheaded anymore.

Out for my walk but I have to put my hearing aides on and I am really starting to hate them.

Quote:I have one of those $20 hearing aids bc my hearing isn't very good either, and I hate them too. They make my ears itch, among other things. But for the sake of my family, I should put at least one in. Maybe I'll switch between ears so I don't get any fungal infections?

I noticed that altho my hearing is overall not so good (especially in the high frequencies) it also tends to come and go. Some (rare) days, I hear my glucose meter beep clear as anything, but most days not at all. I wonder if part of my problems is just allergy congestion . Altho I'm doing everything possible to tamp them down, I'm probably being exposed to allergens I don't even know about.

My problem isn't itching, it is just annoying trying to get them in right when my ear canals bend and they shouldn't. Yesterday the wire that lays over my ear seem to be hurting me on the right ear. The left seemed fine.
My allergies haven't been too bad but I do know that vacuuming around my place would be a help. I just don't feel like doing it.

Back in from my walk on another bright sunny day and all outside things done.

Hey Sigs...
About those continuous monitors for your husband.
At class today, the specialist suggested that you could ask your doctor for a free sample which would last for roughly a month. Receivers are expensive and the doctor won't give those out, but if you have a compatible smart phone you can just download the app and use the phone for the receiver while the doctor can provide you with a sample kit of sensors and transmitters.
If he sees an endocrinologist and/or a specialist you should ask them if they could provide you with a sample kit and at least give him a good month of numbers every 5 minutes.

Learned some stuff today at class. Most of it was stuff I'd already learned on the journey so far though. Tomorrow is when we get into the diet information which is what I really need to figure out.
After a minor snafu, I was finally able to pair up my continuous monitor results with the clinic so they can see all of the charts that I can see up until the last time I uploaded my data to it.
She says that I'm doing fantastic compared to the numbers I had before my diagnosis. We need to figure out how to keep my numbers from rising at night into the morning and to keep myself from continually dipping low in the afternoon, but my highs aren't very high and I've done a much better job the last 5 or 6 days from letting the lows get too low.
Meds will need to be adjusted. It's possible I won't be on insulin for the long term and I just needed to give my pancreas a break from all those years of eating several dry cups worth of brown rice and all my other sugar sources every night.
