Question

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

Ive been a bit busy lately so I havent talked much but I have a question. in the past 3 weeks I have been pretty regular with my insulin and getting in down to normal levels. I started a new job a month ago and have gotten into a new routine. I take my normal dose of insulin after testing. my morning sugar is between 80 and 130. So I take 17 R and 17 N and the eat a bowl of regular oatmeal with 1% milk and splenda and a large mug of hot tea with splenda, which I take with me to work. In the last week or so I have had a low BS at around 11:15 in the morning which Im getting better at catching before it goes too low. but this morning I had a low at 9:45 after eating the same thing at the same time of day. I dropped the dose of regular down to 14 R and 17 N this morning just to avoid a low at 11am and it came in earlier. I dont get it. Of course a low for me is 100 since I have been in the 500's until the past month. I even had a 58 at 3 am last week then on at 11 am in the same day. I was worn out by noon, just exusted. I havent done anymore exercise than usual, I work sitting down most of the day. Any idea why I would have a low so early and how I can level this off better because after lunch at 11:30 I have a high of 3:45 or so at 2:30pm. Im trying to count the carbs and cut them where I can. Ive learned to drink Crystal light and Diet Lipton tea, still cant do diet soda(yuck). I have tried to talk to my dr but I am playing phone tag and my next appointment is not till the end of the month and These lows and highs cant be good for me. If nothing else Im so tired after lunch Its hard to get through the rest of the day. Ive started carrying NoDoze to get through the day. Any suggestions would be welcome.
