How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?"
Ellie replied to Dot Reilley's discussion 'exercise and bs'"I actually am able to defeat dawn phenomenon, much of the time anyway, by taking one of my 3 daily metformin tablets when I wake up for the bathroom around 3 AM. Weird, but it works."
Dot Reilley replied to Dot Reilley's discussion 'exercise and bs'"That is great info! I didn't know about dawn phenomenom. The last 2 nights I ate about 10 almonds before bedtime and my morning numbers were 110 & 113. Now that school is getting ready to start I am getting up earlier as my daughter has to…"
Jeannie Wagner replied to Dot Reilley's discussion 'exercise and bs'"I've swithched my metformin to right before bed ( around midnight) and then I take the second one as soon as I wake up. High morning numbers are caused by dawn phenomenom. Our bodies produce hormones in the early morning hours that signal our…"
Kristin replied to Dot Reilley's discussion 'exercise and bs'"My dad is on Metformin and he told me that a half a green apple or a few nuts at bed time actually helps his morning blood sugar. Perhaps you can eat less than half a sandwich, but try having a small snack to see if it helps."
Dot Reilley replied to Dot Reilley's discussion 'exercise and bs'"Thanks for your reply! I take my Metformin ER with dinner....I'm seeing my M.D. in a couple of weeks, so I will see what she thinks of FBS of 130's"
R.L.Scovens replied to Dot Reilley's discussion 'exercise and bs'"I'm on Metformin too and my fasting bs has always been high. My doc made me stop eating fruit after dinner and start taking my Metformin at dinner time..These 2 things together has brought it down from 160 to about 130-140 in 2 mths. I'm…"
Dot Reilley posted a discussionexercise and bs
Does any one notice if blood sugars are better with morning versus evening exercise? ( i am type 2 on metformin only) I ma still having trouble getting my fasting bs under 130. the dietician think 1/2 a sandwich at bedtime might help but I hate giving up my calories/carbs/proteins when I am hungrier during the day!!
PatientX commented on Dot Reilley's blog post 'I know how this happened....but how did I let this happen!'"I think we are allowed to be a little selfish once in a while, sometimes I have to make the family understand that if I dont take care of myself I cant take care of them. Its a balance we struggle with. I know I have to exercise and sometimes it…"

On 2 grams of Metformin but so far my lowest bg has been 127. I'm probably easting too many carbs...before now I had never really counted vegetables (broccolli, green beans) as…"

Hi everyone,
So on my 53rd birthday I get a call from my M.D. confirming that I have "uncontrolled diabetes". Yeah, I knew I had hypertension, well-controlled with 1 pill a day. I also have high cholesterol but taking Vytorin at night it was at 200, etc, etc, etc. Yes, I also know since my divorce in 2002 I have gained 50 pounds......OKAY, I should have been taking better care of myself! I have always put my 2 teenage daughters first and I work full time....SOUNDS LIKE A COP OUT doesn't… Continue
