On my quest to be insulin free, I just did both a Gall Bladder Cleanse and a Usana Reset Cleanse which is certified Low Glycemic. Let me tell you, they both work!
Now, I'm trying to figure out how much insulin to take for a meal, because it is so much different than what I'm used to. Add to this, because of the warmer weather we've been having recently, I've been able to spend more time at the farm with my horse and the exercise adds up....
My blood sugar dropped down to 33 last Sat. night, normal readings are 70 - 120 for me. That reading happened about midnight I think. Glucose is food for your brain and when there isn't much in your bloodstream, it becomes very hard to figure out what's going on. My husband helped me get some juice and I passed out or went to sleep. I guess it didn't last, because I dipped again about 4am. I don't know how low it got, I didn't test, but another juice box and after the freezing stage, fell sound asleep again.
I've become pretty good at testing my blood sugar whenever I don't feel quite right and I'd say that 95% of the time my suger is the reason. I made up my mind early that I needed extra test strips to do this. Get the high or low diagnosis out of the way and if it's not that, then it must be another reason, like a bad hangover...just kidding!
Anyway, I'm happy my sugars are dropping!!! On my way to my goal!
