99!

Finally got BG down to 99. Not sure how exactly. I ate pretty much all
carbs for dinner. Fixed tamales for husband and daughter and they seemed
like too many carbs. Instead I had 1/2 cup of canned kidney beans and a few
(very few) small Fritos. Tested at 197 at two hours after eating. Was 212
right before. Now it's 3 hours later and I'm down to 99. If only it would
stay there.

Probably yer venting allowed ya some relife!
Yay!

What I would try if I had your problems of persistent highs would be
to keep testing when it was low to see if there was a low threshold
going below which caused the liver dump which pushes the BG up. Then I
would hopefully be able to match my BG consumption by snacking
regularly on very tiny amounts to keep the BG from dropping to that
threshold trigger level, but small enough to stop it from rising more
than a little.

Since the 99 came before bed, I couldn't really do that. Back up to 233
now.
