Just like Heinz
57 was the number I was sporting tonight.
I started to feel low while chatting on IM with Paula and decided to Test. I had eaten only an hour ago but realized that my meal was almost completely carb free. I had munched on two feta burgers, steamed carrots and brocoli. Yum.
Back when my sugar was completely out of control I would begin to feel low when I hit 150 or lower, which is still slightly above what I would like my upper limit to be. With blood sugars normally in the 300 range I would rarely see lows at all. Part of my rationale for maintaining the lack of control was that I felt worse when I was low than when I was high. More on that some other time.
Now I am happily eating some strawberries that Tara nabbed at Stop N' Shop this week and feeling quite a bit better. Now that I am in better control the lows aren't so bad and I can definitely feel the highs. :)
