So I had an 87 at dinnertime last night, which was one of only 2-3 sub 80 readings since Dx on 11/3.
I was hungrier than normal, and a bit headachy. I ran to the store and on a whim grabbed some Chinese, a roll, some orange chicken to satiate hunger and see how it would affect my levels.
I dozed off at 8pm on the couch, woke up at 12:30am and missed doing the testing. I was awake with this lump of food in my stomach, and only fell asleep again at 5am. Woke up at 9am and my back hurt from being prone for 13 hours. I’m normally a deep sleeper.
I’m chalking the hunger and dozing off part to adjusting to normal blood sugar levels, but I wondered if anyone else has gone through this early in their lifestyle adjustments. It’s interesting as I haven’t been nearly as hungry in this phase, and test usually around 110 at dinnertime.
