Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I am diabetic, Type 2 and have had extremely good BS readings for several month. Last night I had a brain lapse I guess because I ate high carb foods, pizza and chickin fingers. My BS reading last night was 190 and this morning 130. My Dr. wants the evening reading under 140 and the morning one under 100. I am back in control today and will eat the proper foods. I honestly did not think last night about what I was eating. My question is... Do others occasionally eat wrong and is there any danger I have caused by having readings this high?
If you are prone to the dawn effect, then maintaining all the time under 100 fasting might be a problem...this issue is like beating a dead horse. Even after 16 years I still have some high morning numbers and it had nothing to do with my diet/eating habits.
So anyhoo, since you have had very good numbers in the past, you can do it again. Are you on meds?
We are human
The damage would be unmeasurable, its those 300s, month in, month out that are the killers - IMO.
Good job at monitoring the situation...
My morning readings are high, average about 160....the dawn phenomena.
My hunsband wanted to go out for stickey fingers (chicken with spicy sweet sauce) I had to make sure I kept my portion low and had extra free stuff like veggies (not corn,carrotts, or peas)
Tomato soup with cheese, anybody ?
