Diabetes Low Sugar Question

Can I ask how you are taking your pills? Are you taking two of each in the morning etc?

When I started my new pills, Metformin and Glimeprime I was on two 1000mg formins in the morning and 1 4mg Glimeprime int he morning. My A1C at the time was 11.8.

I was having low spikes about mid day and had to eat something to get past the spike. If your body is used to high suger levels then normal readings will give you the low feelings, which is not good.

I did some self adjustments on my meds and split them up and took half of each in the morning and the other half in the evening. This cured my problem of low spikes but is still doing the job of dropping my sugar levels. No more need of "snacks" during the day which helps with the weight loss which is also needed to control my type 2.

My last A1C was 8.2 and my average daily sugar levels have dropped down to that 100 mark rather then the 250+ mark. I still get hgiher spikes once and awhile if I cheat on the snacks.

 

The only thing I can add is, that you should eat more often that 2 times a day to even out your sugars. I am bad at that also. But I find that when I do eat smaller meals or snacks more often I don't have the highs & lows in my BG readings.

 

I was thinking same on more meals(Im type II) and i target for 80-110 on a "usual basis" but im only checking at wakeup(or if i feel unusual)

But im on Glipizide(2xaday),having a real good feel for it as it keeps me pretty even keel all day

 

I have been educated in this for the past few years and the ticket to my loosing 126 pouns was eating the right foods and eating six times a day, like a Nascar driver comming in for a fuel stop and putting the best burning fuel in my sytem.
