Fasting: 106. A little strange considering the readings for the previous two nights and subsequent fastings, but I'll take it. This is still a work in progress. Even though I'd like to try that test of cereal and milk this morning, an event later in the day has me not wanting to mess with my routine. So I settle on a bagel. Again. And two hours later, I'm still amazed when I test and see 87. I should mention that prior to Byetta, this is a meal that I would have taken roughly 4 units of Novolog to cover and certainly not ended up at 87 as a post prandial.

I'm starting to see some side effects, too. I think. I definitely don't feel like having a snack at a time when I would normally welcome eating just about anything. I don't feel sick, I just don't really feel like eating.

Lunchtime: I have a meeting at noon, which is when I normally eat lunch. I test to see if I need to have a snack before my meeting since it will be at least another hour and a half before I have lunch. I'm shocked again, but in a bad way. My blood sugar is 144. I chalk it up to nerves and go on with my day. After my meeting, I'm pleasantly surprised to not feel starving since I haven't had anything to eat since this morning. I grab a sandwich and some chips and even a few small pieces of chocolate. Post prandial for lunch is 180, which I consider to be pretty darn good since potato chips typically send me sky rocketing.

Dinner is, again, not a formal event. I have some leftover spaghetti with whole wheat pasta and a scattering of other things. Based on the last few days, I expect lower, but was still fairly happy with the 187 post-meal reading.
