180 Dammit!!

My sugar was 180 fasting this morning. I did go over my carb limit yesterday by 42 grams. I am not sure if that is enough to blow it up but since I am still working with my new meds I am not sure. I will be talking to the doctor about this next visit. Either way my sugar is still down from my last visit so I am sure it will reflect in a positive way on my A1C. Also this happened in the last week and a half:

It might be mostly water weight, but I am still cool with that. :D

Fasting Blood Sugar

So this morning I FINALLY remembered to do it after I got up and before I started my day. It was 167. As a diabetic it SHOULD be below 130 fasting. I am hoping that it is just being slow to adapt to my new meds because honestly I couldn't be doing anything different. I am watching what I eat and on point with my drugs. That having been said, thank god that I am not over 200 when I get up any more. Before the new drugs I was getting above 300 in the mornings. How scary is that?

Watch me bleed!

Ever since my insurance decided it was going to stop paying for my Janumet, which was working so great btw, it has been a real struggle to keep my sugar under 200. They stopped covering it in November and since that time my new doctor has been trying different combos. The latest has been working, but my sugar is not down as fast as it was on the Janumet, but it IS working. On the plus side the price of my new meds is MUCH cheaper than the other so that is a good thing I guess. My sugar is not where I want it yet but it is getting there. Anyways, watch me bleed.

My sugar is still kra kra

Fasting is 187 this AM. I guess I should be happy is it not above 200 but WTF, I only had 148 grams of carbs total yesterday and my dinner carb amount which was well over 12 hours prior was 34 grams. Making me crazy for realz.

Blood Sugar

I keep forgetting to take my fasting blood sugar in the mornings. I always remember AFTER I have had something to drink etc so for the last few I have been checking it after a meal. Today at about 3.5 hours past breakfast it was 167. That is not so great, but considering how bad it has been for a while I will take it. Hoping for better soon. My meds got adjusted because my insurance company decided it wasn't going to pay for my old meds, which worked great, any more. Yay for them.... My sugar has been all over the place ever since. I am not very happy about that, but am starting to feel a bit better.

I downloaded an app for my phone that is also a pedometer. Since I wear my phone on my belt it works pretty good. I held it in my hand and moved it around to see if it would count me talking on the phone or sending a text as walking and much to my surprise it didn't. This app is called Moves. I have an iphone so I don't know if there is an android version. I like it because you can look at your total steps and it will also show it to you in miles or minutes. Pretty sweet.

Even though my highest weight was 320 I am starting all of my counters off new as if I were just now starting my diet. It has been several years since I was that huge so I am not going to count it as part of my current weight loss anymore. It does make me happy that I am no where near that but honestly I don't think anybody knows or remembers me like that. So yeah, do over.

Also, I have made the switch from Livestrong to My Fitness Pal, follow me here:http://www.myfitnesspal.com/Speedlace

Just so you know, I have been really backslid. I have gained back 26lbs. What is up with that? Do I have any self control at all? So anyways I am back at it. Have been mixing things up and have started having fruit smoothies for breakfast. So good. I am also thinking of making lunch my main meal every day and having a different kind of smoothie for dinner. Trying to cover all the bases nutritionally. Just for fun, here is a video I just made of myself snacking on an entire sheet of nori at once. Enjoy!
