the diabetes doc called to day after I faxed in my last 2 weeks of numbers

and he called to day to tell me to go down to 12 twice a day. well all ready

done that a week ago and told him so. to night my sugar 2 hours after dinner was

135 and I checked it 3 times. it wasn't off more then 5 either way. so decided

to ride my no where bike for 30 minutes to bring it down some before bed.

checked it a bit ago and it was in the 70's all 3 times I rechecked it. how can

that ride of only 30 minutes bring my sugar down to the 70's that fast? I took

my insulin at 5-15. when my sugar gets in the 70's like that I feel bad and I

have some chest pain. I told the saw bones I have had some loe readings in the

70's and 80's over the past month. not that many 70's, but mainly they happen

right after I have rode my bike. all day to day my numbers has been in the 90's.

actually 11 of the last 13 have been in the 90's and this is taking 12 units

morning and evening. I'm starting to think that maybe I don't need the insulin

any more if I continue the bike riding and taking the 2000 met Forman a day.

maybe when I go see him on the eighth of June I will ask him this very thing. I

can't stop riding my bike if I wish to lose weight. I would rather the insulin

stop then the exercise. I guess we will find out in one week. this is why I test

about eight to ten times a day. the lows like the 70's just make me feel really

bad. I check before I start my ride and then I test again 30 minutes after I

stop. is it better to check right as I finish the exercise or is waiting 30

minutes as I do ok? I have cut my portions down. was talking to a fitness fellow

and he said if I'm riding my no where bike for 2 hours a day and only losing 2

pounds in 2 weeks, then he thinks I was still eating to many calories. so I have

even cut them down more and we will soon see. I now do one hour on the no where

bike of the morning and the second hour around 2 pm. I think this works better

for me then the way I was doing it for a few weeks. if I wake up in the middle

of the night I will check my sugar again to see where it is. storming like mad

here and it sure was way hot to day. heat and cool air mixing it up together is

why we have storms going on as I speak.
