Now that was fun

6. I finished the Z-pack a wk ago, the Albuterol on Monday, and the Prednisone yesterday.

so maybe they're still having an effect on the blood sugars. My Dr. said the z-pack continues working about 10 days after you take the last dose. Combine all those meds w/ the fact that I had rotator cuff surgery, and I guess it's no wonder my sugars are still out of whack.

I'll check out diabeticconnect. The nutritionist that they have me seeing doesn't really want me to read anything, just get my info from her. I had read an article from diabeticliving that made a comment about white potatoes spiking your blood sugar faster than a baked good. She said "But potatoes are healthy". I'm still staying away from them as much as I can - at least the white potatoes.

When she looked at my food log for the last 6 weeks, she dinged me on eating 2 all beef hot dogs without the roll for dinner one night (said I would have been better off having one hot dog with the roll plus a cup of ice cream). And she dinged me on taking the Prednisone pills with 3-4 oz. of Glucerna to mask the taste, and that I should up my fiber. I'm getting around 10-12 gr/day and she said it should be a minimum of 25 gr/day. I guess if that's all she found, I've been pretty good.
