Everybody love Monday

Its finally Monday and the weekend is over.  Back to work I go and progress for my glucose is still looking quite positive.  My fasting sugar was still in 240's however all my other readings are under 140.  Tonight I will increase my dosage of Toujeo the long term insulin by 2 points.  Lets see how I do in another week.

This week also starts a new diet so that I can hopefully decrease the amount of insulin I take each meal as well as hopefully lose a couple of pounds.  This week the diet primarily consists of not going out to eat.  However while we cook at home we are eating low glycemic foods, and lean proteins.  If I can keep this up and reduce some weight then in theory my insulin sensitivity level should go down.

For future experiments I am wondering what the effects are of fake sugars and sugar alcohol is on the over all levels.  According to my dietitian with moderation there should be no effect.  I generally don't even like the fake sugar items, however a Diet Coke or Sprite Zero really helps calm my stomach sometimes.
