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.
