Yep that is correct Cathy. Along with my two slices of Crackerbread I have cheese and ham or other forms of meat or pate. So far my (relatively) high am numbers have not affected my a1c. In the morning they are around 7.5 (135). Frank

Crackerbread is a low carb crispbread, John. It's 3.8 carbs per slice so two slices is 7.6g. Have you tried not exercising on the treadmill late at night? Maybe that exercise is driving your bgs too low so that in the night time your body overcom...

"If I wake up at 95, (and going up every day) I can no longer eat that breakfast" WHOA!! you don't skip meals because you woke w/ a 95. that is a crazy idea especially since 95 is a great number. it could lead your body to think you're starving a...

Great advice. I get my whey mix at Costco in big 6lb bags. There are actually many sources. My grocery store carries certain brands, as do Target, Walmart. GNC has a wide variety. This biggest thing to check is that you are getting a low carb vers...

Indeed it happens (and we all have bad days)... what's commendable is that we realize it, we apologize and we do something about it in the future... =)

Sleep well , sleep well and sleep well ....and don't do it again ( just kidding :-) ) The world forgave you .

Always worth experimenting! There are many types of protein powders. If you're looking for one with the highest protein content, whey isolate powder is great. You want to get the isolate, not hydrolized form. I use a brand called NOW. Health food...

Before I retire for the night, I want to apologize to anyone I may have offended today. Bad day in so many ways that if I didn't have diabetes to focus on, I don't know if I could make it through. Go figure, diabetes keeps my mind off of how lousy...

Welcome John, I was sad after I read what you wrote. There must be something to be grateful for. But I understand how you feel cuz lately my spirits have been low too. But my kids usually boost me back up. And this site. i have found so many caring people here thatwhile I was away on vacation, I truly missed them. Please smile and have a good day and at least know people here care.
