Belfie - thanks for the info. Am jst nervous abt insulin. Funnily enough I'm okay with needles but prefer not to. Both my parents are Type 2 so I am quite determined not to end up like them but oh well

Oh I realized I haven't updated my BSL recordings as promised

So after the breakfast (1 thin beef sausage + 1/2 red capsicum + mushrooms + 1/2 slice white bread + 1/4c soy milk)
BSL readings = 6.4

Mid morning snack - handful of chickpeas
Lunch - noodles (85g uncooked) + bok choy + broccoli + 1 egg
BSL = 8.6!!

Afternoon snack - 2 sips of hubby's vanilla coffee chillers at Gloria Jeans (sorry really cant resist :P)
Dinner - calamari + onions + tomatoes + coriander + parsley thai salad
BSL = 5.3

8/2
BSL before breakfast (fasting level) = 5.6 (.1 above target but nt too bad)
Breakfast - 1 chicken drumstick + 70g (1/4c) baked beans + 50g strawberry yoghurt
BSL = 7.1 (again, .1 above target )

Snack - 1/4 of a carrot
Lunch - tomyum soup + 1 chicken drumstick + veggies
BSL = 5.1 (yippee!!)

Snack - handful of chickpeas + 1/2 kiwi fruit
Dinner - tuna + tomatoes + mushrooms + capsicum + lettuce salad
BSL = 5.9
Before bed - 1/2 mug Rooibos tea

9/2
BSL before breakfast = 4.2 (yay again!)
Breakfast - chicken + tomatoes + cabbage stew
BSL = 5.1

Snack - 50g strawberry yoghurt + handful of chickpeas
Lunch - Black pepper beef salad + 1/2 kiwi fruit
BSL = 4.6

Snack - 1/4 apple + chicken + tomatoes + cabbage stew
Dinner - Beef + calamari + veggies + 30g noodles + tom yum soup
BSL = 4.7
Before bed snack - 1 square of chocolate

Okay so now I'm wondering if my readings at 4++ is too low? What point does BSL become too low (hypoglycemic)? Some say <4, others say <3.5. Do you think it's too low? I'm beginning to get the hang of it and realized Thai food actually keeps my BSL low. Maybe it's the lime/lemon in their dishes? I dunno. But somehow my numbers certainly drop or level out after Thai food

Today's my last day before checking in with the Diabetic Educator. Hopefully we won't get anymore bad news It's been such bad few weeks for us, it feels like we've been showered with bad news the past few weeks already

Do you think she'll put me on insulin with such reading? Yesterday I didn't feel hungry and actually went up and down the stairs 3 times at 2 intervals an hour or so after meal. Probably that's what made my levels drop.
