Woke up with a 9.8 this morning which I thought was fair as 15 at bed time.
Ate scrambled egg with cheese and ham for brekkie.
Guess what my BS is now... 13.4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How does that make sense :( ?

I wanted pasta for lunch too! Don't think that'd be happening haha.

Perhaps like me your body doesn't cope with protein to well. I realise you are not on insulin, so can't bolus for it. If I eat just protein I need to inject as much as a carb meal to cope with it. If the meal is balanced then no problem with the protein
Hope your numbers come down soon.
 
My K doesnt eat Ham(we are veggie) but we have had trouble with eggs since day one. Her team couldn't come up with anything but after seeing what others do on here we have started experimenting with insulin for eggs. Currently we are just adding one unit per egg as her ratio is different at different times of day but this doesn't quite work:(

Not much help if you can't inject for it but at least if you know what caused it and it's not your fault... Tho' like Sue says eating a balanced meal with veg helps in K's case.

Hope you get your numbers back down and can have your pasta later x

Not sure but think it was Bev who said she counted eggs as 4gms of carbs for Alex
 
I've never found a rise with eggs before, thats why it seemed strange.

BS after lunch 30g carb Soup and 24g carb pitta with it sent me to 18.8 :(
Mind you was +10 when I ate it...
2 hrs after 12.4 so pretty rapid decline!!

Hopefully its a blip, perhaps i'm getting ill.

Bit fed up though, what am I supposed to do? I want to eat dinner and be normal not have to frigging wait it out. Seriously fustrating. Also high BS makes me not want to be around people and angry all the time! I live in a student house and theres 6 of us... hard to shut myself away :(
 
Ho Hum Lizabetic - do you think your beta cells might be telling you something - eg "we are more deader now than what we were, and perhaps it's time you started giving us some extraneous insulin please mom?"
 
You'd think! I have no idea whats going on :(
Dinner was a couple sausages plus sweet potato wedges as well as popcorn (15g carb) and choc (12g carb) and I end up at 11.3 afterwards despite testing prior to cooking getting a definate 12.3 haha.
Strange things are happening!

Honestly, can't wait to see the endo - he's going to have a whale of a time with me!
