Those dreaded morning highs after breakfast….

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Well, I think I have finally almost got this figured out. I have recently cut my morning carb count in half when eating breakfast and have had very positive results.

I was use to eating a bowl of cereal (I tried about 15 different unsweetened types) and would typically go to work and a few hours later , my bg’s would be 180-240. I would bolus to cover as I started to see it rise.(ya gotta love CGMS) and would be frustrated to know that I was damaging my body.

A few hours later would come the inevitable crash as my insulin would kick in and overcome the highs.

I realized there has to be a better way and have swapped to a low carb, high fiber cereal. It doesn’ taste too bad to me.(of course my teens say it has the taste and texture of cardboard). My counts went from around 40 carbs to around 20 carbs.   So far, so good….......Ah the joys of the dawn phenomenon(dawn effect)

Keep Going…......Peace, Bob
