diabetes notebook: low-carb day

low-carb day. also happens to be election day in the US. will leave that till later.

breakfast this morning: 2 eggs, 1/2 cup V-8, carrots. 9 a.m.

11 a.m. feeling pretty good. bg is 6.9 mmol/L. right on target. diabetics should aim for 5 - 10 mmol/L. non-diabetics are 4 - 7 mmol/L.
wondering what to eat. at a crossroads. 15 NPH taken this morning. peaking. will eat max. 40 CHO. mixed with veggies and meat this should be sufficient.

work at 2 pm so I have to take that into consideration. have to build up a bit of a reserve. dont want to start work low/high. want to start work with bg at 5 - 10 mmol/L, with belly full and feeling energetic.

will update as to how this works later.
