Tuckered

[tabekat]

Finally found my blood meter. I'm not taking any medication at this time.

Before breakfast - 184

After Lunch - 165

After Dinner - 165

For the first time since being on Atkins I'm fatigued.
Really fatigued. Of course I have an insanely stressful
job right now. I just keep trying to adjust to it. :anger

those are out of conteol blood sugars
did you teast before the meal right after or 2 hours after? Canuck put a stickie yp about the correct way to use your meter if you have any questions about when.

Yupe you answered why you are tuckered out, high BG makes you tired, low Bg makes you tried, aim for 80 to 110, in meantime get on methphormin or a suitable drug( only met is actually) for Type II as anything over 140 is damaging you in an irreversible manner, then once Bg falls you and doc can wean you off drugs, but you wont be energized when glucose is floating in system as organs are starving, Diabetes is an auto immune deficiency disease, it is a wasting disease, while you live with high BG your organs waste away, starting with kidneys and then with eyes.
Get an A1C done as baseline so you know.
Its first thing in morning before doing anything, not after exercise as it wont be accurate, not after eating, not after wandering the house, then its two hr after you finish eating to see how body metabooizse. But hey kiddo get on it now as these are things that down the road will haunt ya and ya'll be so p;d off at self for not caring for self. I hear ya, its tiresome, its monotonous, it’s a royal pain in the butt on many days, but you are the absolute ONLY one who can do it. Keep in touch, plod along, it will come. Here's to ya!!!

As far as your readings go, as 2big stated, how long after you've eaten will determine your readings.
