Hey Group,

well I am happy with my morning fasting the past couple of days.. yesterday it was like 92 today it was 93.. :) but Question is this.. I am on my cycle..right now .. so will that make your blood sugar go up or your blood sugar go down.. because if it makes it go up high then hey I am doing really good..

Hi Melody, yes your period could affect your blood glucose readings.

Hi Mandy,


For some it can raise or lower blood sugar, but remember we are all so different. Just remember that what your body does one month doesn't mean it will be that way each and every month since hormones do fluctuate, which I know that progesterone does raise blood sugar. Sorry, but that means you still need to check even though many of us would like to go a few days with no need to check such is life though. LOL


I hope this helps you out some, because I know how confusing things can be. Oh, your blood sugars look great by the way so just keep doing what you have been since it seems to be working for you. Take care and have super enjoyable day!

Hi Cheryl

I am type 2 as you know and I eat 3 snacks a day and 3 meals. If just having 3 meals a day works for you good...but it doesnt' for me. I have lows if I don't eat every 2-3 hrs.

hey.. yea I have to eat 2 - 3 hours apart.. as well you mentioned that it gets low.. what are the signs when its low.. I feel sick I feel weak I feel like faint feeling. one time I felt sick like that after I ate.. and I had ate the right things.. I didnt understand why I felt bad.. in fact what i had was a blt sandwhich with sugar free bread.. when that happened.. and like this morning man I felt so bad and shakey when I got up this morning and took my sugar and it was 87.. I think maybe that is a bit to low for me.. even though 70 is really low.. I cant even imagine what 70 would feel like.. so anyway I am going to go for now.. I am fixing to eat me a snack or something maybe a string cheese and a cucumber.. strange eating I know but I dont know what else to have.. and I dont feel like cooking anything right now.. bye bye for now Melody
