GD - so frustrated!!!

I am so frustrated.  I've had the SAME thing for bfast the past 4 days and my sugar has been all over the place.

 

7/12 - 107 - 3u

7/13 - 149 - 3u

7/14 - 132 - 3u

7/15 - 105 - took 30 min late  - this was w/4 units

7/16 - 163!!!!  This is w/4 units! 

 

 

I know I should be eating something more substantial but I'm honestly not hungry bc lately I've been waking up really nauseous and thirsty and w/a sore throat so the carnation bfast drink is what I've been having bc its so quenching.  I know this is all trial and error but GEEZ!!!

  • Isn't the carnation drink fairly high in sugar? I know it sucks, but maybe save that for morning snack? I have a really hard time with breakfast- I cannot look at eggs in the morning, peanut butter is making me gag... I've been doing 2  nutrigrain waffles with butter, or if I really just need to force something down 6 triscuts with string cheese. Both give me good numbers. Good luck!

    They are really good! Sugar free syrup still has some carbs in it, so I will do either just butter or some flavored cream cheese on them. 

    I've also had sugar free pancakes (from a mix found in the pancake aisle) that were decent- I did add a bit of cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg, and a splash of vanilla to them. They only have 6g net carbs and 15 g of protein! My numbers are always great with those.

  • I went through ths too and just found that I can no longer have PB in the AM :(  I had been eating the same freaking thing for ages with good numbers and then one day it was high and continued to be until I switched to another breakfast.

    Now I eat 1 packet of Quaker low-sugar apples/cinnamon oatmeal made with fat free milk and my 1 cup of coffee.  I've had great numbers since I started this - and the irony is that I was told NOT to have any dairy at breakfast.

    Just goes to show that not everyone's body handles foods the same way.  GL! :)
