Finding things I can safely eat is a chore in itself. Everything raises my glucose including lettuce with the nutritional value of cardboard. I'm not joking. I could eat dirt and grass but it would cause spikes. I'm pretty certain it would! My readings have been crazy today even though I'm quite vigilant with watching what I eat. As a result my caloric intake is around 1100 calories a day, sometimes less than 1000. It's hard eating right to avoid the spikes. Even after medicine I spiked to 190 hours after eating. I started the day at 173. But instead of coming down it went up.
I started adding lemon slices to my water as a liver detox. I'm trying to cleanse the bad things out including the aspartame I've consumed for 5 weeks. Either the lemon released more sugar in my blood or the liver did. Extra glucose is stored in the liver and released. I took an extra Metaforim today and had severe stomach cramps but it brought it down. The cramps is a side effect of Metaforim that should reside soon.
I won't take an extra Metaforim ever again , but I did today. I'm at the beginning of my diagnosis so playing around with medicine is not a smart move. Playing around with medicine regardless of diagnosis is not wise or recommended. I see my Dr again in 2 weeks and will have the A1c afterwards. Any adjustment to medication will happen then. The A1C will give a bigger picture why i'm still experiencing hyperglycemia, even with medicine.
My last glucose reading before dinner and 2 hours after the extra Metaforim.
