I don't understand why I had low (66/3.6) blood glucose after lunch today. For breakfast I had 32gs of carbs. For lunch 50gs of carbs. I then had to eat 15 gs of carbs to raise my blood glucose. I plan to eat 38gs of carbs for dinner. This totals just 135 for the day.

Everyone seems to react so differently to this F&%$ing disease. I have had my struggles doing exactly what you talk about. I think everyone is different.

I also need to increase the carbs after gym or brisk walking and at times I experience lows which is not good at all, so tc Becky and monitor the levels, not a good feeling at all. πŸ™πŸ’œ
