My BG was 70 when I got up and I was doing my normal breakfast thing, moca followed by plain yogurt when I get to work, and on the way in (less than 1/2 the moca gone) I started to feel a bit shaky. This being a new one for me I did not know if I was going high or low or just coming down with something. Normally, I can loose up to 10 points off my BG after breakfast and Rarely seem more than a 10 point rise.
When I got to work I tested and got 98, that’s the first time I’ve seen a 30 point rise from 1/2 cup of moca (no yogurt yet). I decided to set the moca aside and have my yogurt, I felt I really did need something. 1/2 hour later I was at 123, but the shaky feeling was subsiding. 1/2 later I was at 78! and 1/2 hour later at 80. Pre lunch, but post plain yogurt snack, I was at 93. 45 minute pp and I was at 72? Lunch was 1/4 cup of rice, some meat and a salad. What is going on today?
A couple of hours after lunch, I took my normal walk. Even though I was feeling OK after the walk, I though things were odd enough today to check. First reading was 56! I have never seen something that low, so I tested again from the other side of the finger and got 68. OK, that a bit low, but decided it did not need treatment.
I do realize that none of my numbers where terribly high and none (except maybe the 56) were terribly low, but I don’t normally move more than 20 or 25 points. If it were not for the fact that I felt a bit off, I would assume the meter was freaking out. I will have to see what my other meters say when I get home. Also, I stopped taking any meds almost 3 months ago, so I’m controlling only via diet and exercise.
I guess this is more of a rant against the gremlins than a plea for help, but this is my first dance with the little buggers since I my DX.
