First breakfast. Rip's big bowl. 1 cup of mixed "approved" cereal, 1/2 cup blueberries, half a banana, some raisins and almond milk.
6 units of Apidra insulin and 1000 mg metformin. 3 hours later I was 209 and questioning if this would work.
Next day same breakfast but bumped up my insulin to 9 units, and the result was 170, 3.5 hours later.
It slowly dropped and now 3 months later when I have the big bowl I use an entire banana, a cup of blueberries, and a lot of raisins. I'll also add blackberries if I have fresh ones in addition to the other fruit already on there.
If my morning blood test is under 100 I use NO insulin, and if it is over 100 I use 1 unit. Also my metformin has been cut in half. 2.5 hours after eating I'm between 109 to 120 depending on how active I am.
Also my long lasting insulin has been cut from 40 units to 12.
When I have my "bucket o' oatmeal" my numbers are even better. The cold cereal is on treat days.
