Our wings are not tired.

Oh they do learn, that is one of those that I will pull out the "I told you so" cards on though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

A few points above average for this morning and 7 points above target for post breakfast.

What is target? Also don't know if your pregnancy will let you do this but a ten minute stroll immediately after eating does wonders for blood sugar - more than intense exercise, more than moderate exercise. It can be a strolll circling the living room while reading on your tablet or watching the tube.

My fasting target is 60-95, which I have yet to meet.

My two hour after meal target is 60-120, and I have met that target every day except this morning. I was fairly lazy on the couch yesterday. So, maybe that has something to do with it.

I have never heard of a blood sugar target below 70. 60 is low blood sugar. Not dangerously low, but not good and definitely cranky territory. Maybe GD is different but was that target given by someone who is a diabetes specialist? 120 is an ok top figure - I mean really it is good if you can manage. when you say post breakfast you mean two hours after breakfast? cause sooner you can't expect to be under 120.

Maybe GD is different but was that target given by someone who is a diabetes specialist?

Or by the nurse who flipped out over 1 gram of carbs? Because this nurse is quickly losing credibility with me.

Also when I say 60 is not dangerous, I realized that is to adults. I have no idea what risk a mother being at 60 poses to an unborn.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Man, Laura, I wish you all kinds of zen.

sj, I have no advice or counsel but I'm glad others do and I hope you get into a rhythm soon.

I also should add that 60 is not dangerouis if it happens rarely or for short periods. Often or over the long run might be a different story.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't know anything about diabetes, but I hope you're able to figure out what will work for you, sj.

Laura, good luck and patience with all of that.

I've been coughing for a month and a half now. The latest round of meds that the doctor gave me seemed to be working for a while, but I'm coughing even worse today.
