Iris’ high afternoon BGs
Iris,
Here’s another thought about your afternoon high BGs: Since the body has
this defense
mechanism fondly referred to as the Glucose Dump, when you start to dip way
down (because of lack of *lunch*) your liver may throw some glucose into the
mix, which would elevate
your BG, causing that afternoon high.
First of all, you need to get back to basics: regular, well-balanced meals,
and testing before AND 2 hours after meals to establish a pattern. See a
doctor with this log as soon as you can. You may feel you will be doing
damage having your BG that high each day for a week or two, but you will do
more damage by what you are doing now. Oh, if it were only a perfect world
with perfect bodies! 8^)
