After the movies last night my bedtime blood sugar was 108.  Not too bad but all the food was still in my belly being digested and at waking up it was 113.  That is much higher than my target fasting number.  I took my insulin and ate breakfast.  Breakfast was 3/4 cup of cornflakes with 1/2 cup of milk, two scrambled eggs, and a cup of coffee.  23.5 carbs for the cereal with milk and the eggs and coffee had some milk added in, so probably about another 5.5 there.  So about 29 carbs, I'll round it up to 30.  I will take my blood sugar in about 20 more minutes to see where it is sitting.

Added: It is at 162.  Target for one hour after eating is 140.  Something tells me this is going to be a high day.  Probably all because of the movie snacks from last night.

Added: Lunch was pancakes.  The bisquick box said 1/3 cup of mix had 26 carbs in it.  The recipe called for 2 cups of mix 1 cup milk and 2 eggs.  This is easily halved so I did, which makes 1 cup of mix.  Multiply the 26 by three to get 78.  Since there is a half cup of milk I added on 5.5 carbs and hoped to make 3 pancakes so I divided those by three to get 27.8.  I actually made closer to four so that gives me some wiggle room.  I then added 9 for a tablespoon of chocolate chips that I added.  The I added another 5.5 for my syrup since my sugar free syrup has 11 for a fourth cup of syrup.  I put on two tablespoons which I think is an eight cup.  Then I added a full cup of milk to drink with my pancakes which equals out to 53.5.  My allowable carbs for lunch is 60 so again under.  I will test at 2:20 to see what my blood sugar is doing.

Added: After lunch is 129.  So much better than my breakfast.  For a snack I am eating some cooked carrots with butter.  Carbs 9 per serving and about a serving and a half.

Food Blog

Maybe I should make this into a food blog.  I tried to write down what I eat in a food journal on notebook paper but it didn't work very well and I abandoned it several days into it.  My blood sugar has been a little bit all over the place.  I think it is because I haven't been sticking to my diet very well.  Maybe it will be a diabetic blog.  That includes food and what my blood sugars are.

So anyways I woke up with a blood sugar of 92 this morning.  I didn't eat anything for a before bed snack last night.  My target for morning fasting is under 95.  That is pretty good for that target.  Breakfast was two hard boiled eggs, 3/4 cup of cornflakes, and 1/2 cup of milk in the cereal.  No carbs in the eggs, 24 in a serving of corn flakes, and 11 in a serving of milk.  1 serving of cornflakes and 1 serving of milk is 1 cup so about 18 carbs for the cornflakes and 5.5 for the milk.  My allowable carbs for breakfast is 45, three servings of 15 carbs.  My blood sugar was 93 about an hour after eating.  I ate so few for breakfast because sometimes cereal makes it go higher than desired.  My after meal target is 140.  I would say that is definitely under the target and maybe should have had a few more.

Lunch was a package of ramen with several drops of Louisiana hot sauce in it and 1 cup of milk maybe a bit more since I didn't measure but my little red glasses hold 1 cup to a cup and a half.  The ramen is two servings for one package.  One serving has 26 carbs which makes the package 52.  The milk added about 11 so 63 ish carbs and my lunch and supper target is 60, four 15 carb servings of carbs.  That is a little higher than desired so we will see what it does to my blood sugar when I check.  I still have to wait 43 minutes to check.  Hopefully the lower breakfast carbs will cancel out my higher lunch carbs.

Added: After lunch blood sugar was 98.  I am not really sure why they are so low today.  I mean they aren't dangerously low I don't think, but every time I tested it has been under 100.  That is a little strange.

Added: One glass of milk for an afternoon snack.

Supper: Tin Foil Packs.  I don't know the carbs for it for sure but I think the potato was about one serving worth.  Also had carrots in it which has about six carbs per 3 oz of carrots.  I tested about an hour after eating and it was 113.

We went to the movies and split a small popcorn, Milk Duds, and Diet Dr Pepper.  I could see that pushing me over.  I will test before bed and try to remember to post it tomorrow.

New Blog

I didn't like the idea of continuing to blog on the pregnancy blog right now.  I am hoping to resume that blog a little later in the year (crosses fingers and says a little prayer).  Today is the first day of 2012.  I guess for me it is a hopeful year.  I think I am finally done with the miscarriage.  It took quite a while for my body to pass everything.  Perhaps I can still become a mother in 2012.  I guess that is my hope, to have a baby this year, or at the very least to have a viable pregnancy.  It has been very hard seeing everyone around me have babies, post about their babies, show off their baby pictures.  I am excited for this year!
Last night we saw in the new year with each other and Martinellis Sparkling Cider!  Yay!  Oh and Bones!
