That was my BG numbers since yesterday at 4:30 when I had the low of 67 mg/dl! and since then it is high!! Am confused!!
67 (4:30pm)
261 (8:20pm)
297 (10:30pm)
264 (midnight)
213 (4:30am)
Gave correction boluses every time I tested.
I know you will ask what I eat:
For dinner it was home made Burgers so I counted correctly, eat some fries as well.
After dinner I didn’t eat anything carby! Only a cucumber and Cheese.
249 (7:40am)before like half an hour from breakfast. I eat egg omlet with Mashrooms, Olives, and Cheese with 2 french toasts = 17 cabrs plus a banana and peach for 10 carbs!
276 (10:30am)Now

I did change site with a new infusion set, but no use!!! CONFUSED!

2

did you try swapping out your insulin? Perhaps it went bad . . . .

3

Didn’t try that, but I don’t think so! Since if it was bad then my BG will be higher in the 300s or 400s! I think it is working but kinda bad or slow for some reason!!! I don’t know?

If it stayed like this when I go back home,am gonna give my self a shot of any amount and see, if it was the insulin or my body!?

Thanks for your input Dov

yes, start out with everything new - insulin, reservoir, and I would open a new box of infusion sets. once in a blue moon I get a bad box. hope your numbers come down soon, Al!

oh, I think 2 French toasts, a banana and a peach are more than 27 carbs, too

5

LOL, the french toasts are 17grams thats whats on the label and the banana is always 10!! LOL

Hope so!!! Yikes! Thx Marie for pointing that out

6

hope you get your bg back in range soon!

I don’t know about the french toast, but I think that a banana is much more than 10g… I love bananas… I bolus 30g for a large banana-- 20g for a smaller one.

I can see spikes like that when my carb counting is off by 10g even, which happens quite often with me :frowning:

Update 232 mg/dl (12:28)

Eat nothing, just drink black coffee and water!

9

just wondering if you checked for ketones…at least you’re going down

10

I am sorry that your BS is giving you trouble, but I think that you might be underestimating your carb counts…I can’t pass judgment on the french toast (although, since a slice of sandwich bread has ~15 g carbs, 17 seems a bit conservative for two ‘french toasts’), but I LOVE bananas and eat them almost everyday. For a general rule of thumb (no pun intended), a banana of normal girth that reaches from your wrist to the end of your thumb has about 15 g of carbs, and most bananas are longer than that, in my experience. Add in the peach and you are way over the 10 g you accounted for.

I hope that you get your sugar in range, though…

11

Na I never check for ketones and never believed in doing so! When I pay the bottle will test once and I will have a Negative and then it will stay in the closet until it expire and I through away!

12

Thanks for the information and the thoughts, will see if counting it more will make a difference!

Hi Ahmad…Bananas are very slow acting in my body so my sugar stays high 4 awhile even after i bolus…but i like Kristin … do 30 for a banana and a peach ( med ) is 10 or less… so total carbs are 40 …That is how i bolus for these 2 fruits. Needless to say i stay away from bananas they are terrible for MY sugars…Good Luck Hope this helps you some…

They are hard to find, but I buy single, foil wrapped ketone strips… then you can use one without the rest expiring! I bought mine on ebay.

Update 2:30pm

Finally it came down to 123 and I eat lunch and bloused correctly (hope so!)

Thank you all for the support and trying to figure my confusion!!
