I had to back of from my smoothies as the sugar in the fruit was spiking my BS. I test every morning when I get ups and sometimes an hour after my meals to see if something is spiking it. My BS runs better 84-95 most days, but most of the time it hovers around 88. This morning it was 91.
I started doing this because of my CH.. cluster headaches... because there is some evidence that sugar can effect migraines. Doesn’t seem it does anything for me, but I have discovered my
CH meds may increase my BS. Many times I have tested my BS during the onset of CH and I am still in my normal range. I don’t eat while having a migraine, but my BS does rise some which makes me think it has something to do with the meds interacting with my body.
I am back to doing my low carbs like Harmony and it seems that’s what my body likes best.potaotes age too many carbs for me and high carb foods always send my body out of control and craving more.
I bought my meter kit at Wally World and it encluded evrything I needed. You can also buy from Amazon.
I belong to a type two diabetic site that Emptynester suggested a while ago. They are hell bent on wheels to keep their members eating below 20 carbs a day because of how their disease attacks their organs. Very interesting stuff with people who are extremely knowledgeable.
Anyway I’m in a CH cycle which was set off by high temps and intense sunlight. We’re at 112 today. When I have to go out I wear double no glare sun glasses and a wide brim hat. Can’t get my usual shots cause I can only get them every three months. So I am pretty much house bond. However Sweetie has had his cataract surgery so I’ve had to drive him to his appointments. Sometimes I can’t avoid not running errands so it’s always a gamble.
