thanks
Here are the notes from my journal:
9/28/06
7:30 BS = 89 ; arose, took 1 Sinemet CR, 1 Eldypryl;
8:30 coffee black
9:00 BS = 104 even though no food yet; worse than arising; brain fog; dystonia left foot; freezing
9:15 2 Requip; glass of milk
9:30 brain fog lifting
9:45 BS = 129
10:00 BS = 103 brain back, body coming quickly
10:15 BS = 88 body coming slowly
10:30 BS = 90
10:45 Ate hamburger
11:00 2 Requip
11:15 Body coming online finally
11:20 Full function!!
AS you see the first food was milk at 9:15 followed by a hamburger at10:45. The med in question is the sinemet. Note too that my numbers never go into hypo glycemia only pseudo hyper.
I am using a Bayer Contour which is supposedly self calibrating. In any casee the readings are consistent and at least two other PWP are getting similar patterns. Trying it without meds is not an option. No meds - no move.
