Hi Dave,


 RH> Yes, and we all try to keep the numbers reasonably under control. Not
 RH> sure what I should do to bring up the morning reading without going
 RH> over the nightly carb limit tho.

 DD> Ask your RD. Or, if there is a Diabetes Support group. Keep in mind

Don't have either of those.

 DD> that those carb numbers are not set in stone. Everyone is different -
 DD> and if you have a good RD or doctor they will recognise that you
 DD> may/probably do need some tweaking from the "standard" set.

I think I've been tweaked already; the hospital said to aim for 90-150
morning readings. My doctor revised it to 70-130.


 DD> Don't bet your life on that. Mine was caused from losing a lot of
 DD> weight and thus being over-medicated. It can sneak up on you ... even

 RH> My doctor has adjusted my insulin as I've lost weight; that's one big
 RH> advantage of using the pen over pills. We can fine tune the dosage, and
 RH> do it faster.

 DD> That's a good thing. I am losing weight slowly enough that I don't
 DD> need to adjust that often. Although I will speak to Dr. Dynda about
 DD> things - like losing the Lasix - on my next regular visit ... by which
 DD> time I should be into a couple inches smaller waist size breeches.

I'm wearing some jeans a couple of sizes smaller than I was last year at
this time. Even these are a bit loose.

 DD> if you are sticking yourself three or four times per day. Now I just
 DD> do once in the morning. My croaker is fine with that BTW.

 RH> I was told (in the hospital) that I should check it 4 times/day but my
 RH> doctor said one time (morning) was enough. I do it in the morning and
 RH> (almost every) night. Both readings are written down.

 DD> I worked that one out by myself - after scaring the be-jeebers out of
 DD> myself when I took my reading shortly after eating some popcorn.
 DD> YIKES!!! Big spike. I figured that after a nice long sleep things
 DD> should be settled down to a base-line number. Then my doctor confirmed

I've noticed that. Even a couple of hours after eating my evening number
is sometimes quite high. Noticed that pasta seems to raise it more than
rice, potatoes cango one way or another. But, by morning, it's all
settled down again.

 DD> that guess - although the RD wanted me to play pin cushion four times
 DD> per day. But, that was her only quirk. She is not a food Nazi and is
 DD> pretty easy to get along with ... heck, we swap recipes from time to
 DD> time. And she's the one who turned me on to Blue Bunny and Edy's No
 DD> Sugar Added I scream.   Bv)=

As I said, I don't have an RD, it's all on what we do. You're doing well
to have someone who is able to refer you to good eats--saves you a lot
of label reading. (G)

 DD> Center cut pork loin roast - U$2.29 at County Market. U$2.49 at

We've got some pork proccesing but not to the extent you do. I've got a
pot of venison/beef/goat/bison chili on the stove right now. It also has
several types of peppers, onions. pureed tomatoes and seasonings.
