Hi Mary,

Me again. I am guessing you are on thyroid medication. Maybe your meds are causing your swings.

No matter what the cause, I do think you should seek advice from your doc as to the best method for leveling out your blood sugars. The swings are hard on your body and organs, not to mention adding to your PN.

I have seen some articles claiming post prandials up to 180 OK, but I think that is pushing the envelope. Normal should not go above 140. Normal should not go below 70. I have always been fearful of losing my sight since early childhood. I won't risk my eyesight to what some piece of paper says is OK. I already have cataracts, narrow angle glaucoma, and episodic blurrs, and despise seeing my eye doctor. A lot of people hate going to the dentist but I hate going to the eye doctor.

Hope some of this helps. Oh, I see that the typed link did turn into a hyperlink when I clicked on the submit post.

Hope you can find the link and enjoy reading it.

Keep in touch.
