Just a side note:
There are a lot of variables to b/s numbers...not just food.
Exercise can help and it can hurt.
I've been told that if your b/s is 250+, exercise will cause your sugars to go up!
249 and below, exercise will help them go down.
(249/250 being a relative number, yours may be slightly higher or lower)
Stress hormones cause your sugars to go up too. If you've had a bad night's sleep, that can cause stress on your body, sugars can go up. Are there any other stresses in your life? Family, hospitalizations...?
Also, some meds can cause sugars to go up - <b>especially prednizone</b>! (sp?)
Another med that caused mine to go up was Megase (an appetite stimulant).
Keep all these things in mind.
Best wishes

Yes I did have 3 vessels embolized. Have you ever had your feet swell as well. I am hoping this is also because of all the stuff I just went thru. On Tobramycin IV, Prednisone, the diabetes. Oh Boy. Measured my feet tonit and going to see what they look like tomorrow and call my doc.
Thanks for the input.

I didnt have any feet swelling after either of my embolizations but i did have finger pain **rolls eyes** for a while. I am not sure ( because i have never been on it) but Prednisone might be the cause of the swelling AND the high blood sugar. I do know it can wreak havoc on blood sugars.

I had a b/s of nearly 300 and did exercise for 40-45 minutes and dropped my B/S just over 100 points.

I know the feeling...I'm kind of going through a little hick-up of my own blood sugar issues right now. As far as snacks go, I'd go with very low to no carb things that you can eat in large quantities, for example, a salad with all the fixins (if you're into all the fixins), hard boiled eggs (or just eggs in general), cheesey omelets with ham, tuna/chicken/egg salad (which ever you fancy), lunch meat...those things are all protein. They'll help as far as snacks go and shouldn't make your sugars go crazy...and if you haven't already, look in the pharmacy of your local grocery store or Wal*Mart. Sometimes they carry things like diabetic cough syrup and food near the pharmacy. Perhaps they'll have diabetic boost there instead of with the regular meal supplements.

To Note: my blood sugars are finally better! My infection must be better. Staying high protein as much as a can for snacks. Starting retaining fluid and got put on Lasix. I was told that my "low protein" status that we CF'ers have can cause the fluid buildup. Being that I have had so many issues lately it all adds up. thanks for the input from all.
