Fasting: 69. This morning is definitely different. I test a good 60 to 90 minutes before I usually do because I feel so weird and get this nearly low number. And I am dropping fast. I manage to make my way to the kitchen for a granola bar, but I feel simply awful.

My body and my brain seem to be betraying me this morning. Despite having two granola bars around 6:30 a.m., I also have my bagel and butter around 7:30 a.m. I don't bother to test before eating the bagel-or the cookies I have as soon as I get into work. My body aches from what my menstrual cycle is doing to me and I've lost all control and will power. Despite my hideous eating habits this morning, I test at the 3-hour mark from when I first ate this morning and am not surprised to see 240. Today is the kind of day I normally just let everything out the window and eat whatever I want. I guess this will be that true test I've been wanting to give Byetta from the start.

Lunchtime: Right now I'm fighting the urge to eat the candy bar that's on my desk. However, since I was pretty reserved at lunch eating just a bowl of soup, I want to see how my numbers are at two hours. That's 45 minutes from now.

I cave and test at 90 minutes post. I am 168, which isn't too bad. Had I waited another 30 minutes I likely could have been under 140.

Dinnertime: After popcorn and some candy this afternoon, followed by hot dogs (no buns), macaroni and cheese and broccoli for dinner, I am, again, surprised to see 86 around two hours post. I'm not sure if my splurges are making me crash or if Byetta is really doing that good of a job.
