Jey100 -
I knew you were going to ask me that
I saw my doctor yesterday and we decided to keep my medication levels as they are - for now.
As I mentioned earlier, I seem to have leveled off with my BG readings between about 115 - 140 with occasional low readings of about 100 and occasional high readings of 150... "not great" but way better than it was. Also the rapid weight loss seems to have stopped - for the past few days my weight has been hovering between 272-273. I have been trying to get in a small amount of aerobic exercise once a day to get my heart rate up, which right now, is 15 jumping jacks and I notice that my BG is predictably at its lowest about 1 hour afterwards. I have noticed this consistently for the past 3-4 days. Those are the only times I have had a BG reading in the 100 range.
What I kinda don't understand is why, if I am eating less that 20 carbs a day, where is all this blood sugar now coming from?
I read somewhere that I am not supposed to skip meals and snacks - I have been skipping the snacks for the most part and sometimes eating when I don't feel hungry just because I'm not supposed to skip meals.
I am thinking going forward maybe I'll start eating only when I am hungry?
Also I am thinking doing my aerobic exercise 2 or 3 times a day?
What other things might I do to keep my weight and BG readings going down?
My doctor said not to think about decreasing the meds until I can get my BG down into the 100 range, consistantly. I think the aerobic exercise might be the key - walking just doesn't seem to be cutting it.
