Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi Mel, What else did you have beside the milk for breakfast? Another question is did you start any new medications that maybe you take every other day? Did you have a hypoglycemic reaction in the night and were having symogigi rebound? Do you have infections right now that you are either aware or unaware of? We need a little more info to help figure this out so don't throw out the diet Dr. Pepper yet.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Aren't pumps wonderful? Without my pump, I doubt I could keep a 5.7 A1C. Re: odd question Do you know what I call the C-factor? Simply stated is the number of bs points a single gram of carbohydrates will raise your bs level. For example I have a high insulin resistance level, and a singgle gram of carb will raise my bs level on average 7.5 points. Since whole milk has 10 grams of carbs per cup or 8 ounces of milk, then two cups of whole milk will raise my bs level around 150 points. If you want to know your C-factor or if you knew your C-factor, you would be better able to manage your bs levels.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hi Ruth, I had nothing else except the milk for breakfast that morning. As for medications there has been no change in them. There was no low BG during the night that I am aware of. Just had a full physical for camp including blood work and nothing showed there as far as infections. I didn't do anything unusual the day before or that morning either, just some light house work. odd question Hi Mel, What else did you have beside the milk for breakfast? Another question is did you start any new medications that maybe you take every other day? Did you have a hypoglycemic reaction in the night and were having symogigi rebound? Do you have infections right now that you are either aware or unaware of? We need a little more info to help figure this out so don't throw out the diet Dr. Pepper yet.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 What camp are you gong to Melvin? I am going to camp on June 19. wonder if it is the same one you are going to? It's not for diabetics, so the food choices will be interesting! odd question Hi Mel, What else did you have beside the milk for breakfast?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I am going to do a cub scout day camp for the week after Father's Day. This year I am working in the kitchen so I get to help plan the menus for the week. Have no idea what we are going to have yet, so I will see how much of an influence I can have. odd question Hi Mel, What else did you have beside the milk for breakfast?
