How long with good numbers?

What is your longest run of not having a blood sugar of over 150 and not below an 80?

Mine is about 1/2 a day.

I suck at this. :frowning:

before pregnancy several monthsā€¦ nowā€¦ maybe 3 days

Same here. And if it ever does happen, I test about every 20 minutes because Iā€™m sure thereā€™s no way my blood sugars could possibly remain that good for very long. I keep thinking theyā€™re going to go up or down, so I check and check. Until, eventually, something happens and they go up or down, and I think, ā€œWhew, good thing I obsessed about my sugars for the past 5 hours.ā€

I suck at this tooā€¦

You are not alone. just when I think Iā€™ve got it all figured out, the BG goes haywire.

You donā€™t suckā€¦diabetes does!!

There was one day it was really settled, then the next it was away again.

I am the same, Karen. I actually had one day this month where I was in the range all day. I was shocked, and could not attribute it to anything but luck. I test 10 times a day, and my a1c has been in the 6s for a long time.

Usually its like a rollercoaster, i never have my bgs undercontrol :frowning:

However today is an exception, when i woke up it was 150, remaining within 100-110 throughout the day and the last time i checked it was 90 something =D what a wonderful day!!

Amen, Di

Havenā€™t had a perfect day yet. My best day was when it was below 200. Iā€™m working on getting there though =]

One or two days because I have a low (around 60) almost every day. Knowing that my lows are always mid-afternoon, I decreased my lunch bolus very slightly two days ago & shot up to 187, eating the exact the same thing.

You donā€™t suck at this! If you do, then we all do:)

Hi Elyse,

Same here. BG will be pretty much fine all day & dinner does me in, even with low carb. I cringe taking post dinner readings. Would be great if I could eat the largest meal for lunch, but my schedule doesnā€™t work this way.

I KNOW. On these miracle days, our diabetes forgets to annoy us, maybe itā€™s busy thinking up somthing for the nextday, if we could just programme it into permanent forgetfulness, weā€™d be laughing. Donā€™t suppose that has made much sense.

Perfect sense

Lately Iā€™ve been with yaā€¦in the 1/2 a day club. I think we may be due for a good streak. (Fingers crossed for a whole day of happy #'s or at least 3/4 :slight_smile:

Half a day, you hit the nail on the head! LOL.

half a day sounds right, but if iā€™m really trying hard i donā€™t think ā€œhigh numbersā€ are evil. the numbers are there to guide us and show us how to improve for NEXT time. If any numbers are evil itā€™s those pesky lows!

iā€™ve gone the past week with no bloodsugar over 150, however iā€™ve been having alot of lows with that so it doesnt count haha

26 hours, tested 10 times.

(Of course, Iā€™ve had lots of days when I SEEMED to be having a good run, but who knows what my blood sugars were doing after I ate!)

Thanks, all, for the encouragement and the reminder that staying in the zone (70/80-120/130 mg/dl and 140/180 mg/dl 2 hrs post prandial) is a goal, not a certainty.

I could actually go a few weeks without a high number over 150. I am not sure if itā€™s because my pancreaā€™s is still working. I try to control it as much as possible. The only time I have wacky numbers is when Aunt Dottie comes for her visit.

three daysā€¦mostly I am doing fine in this but somehow I always manage it to go over the 150 once every three daysā€¦strange fact, mostly in the evening
