		<description>I was having some nice, lower readings before the CT scan.  Because of the contrast I had to give up my Glumetza (glucophage) for a few days until I got kidney functions tests showing no damage.  Now I&#039;ve got to start all over lowering the readings.  I didn&#039;t realize the Glumetza made that much difference, but my BG kept creeping up a little more each day without it.  Now I&#039;m back on it I hope it only takes a couple days to get it back down again.</description>

		<description>Been thinking a bit about this post, here are my thoughts, I don&#039;t know if they are of any real use for you or anyone though.

In some cases it might be possible and a good idea to move certain types of food to where their particular effects on blood glucose is desirable. And maybe the same can be said about some of the medicines too, for instance insulin probably is less needed if you are going to exercise, and you can check the blood glucose level after exercise to see if it needs a bit of adjustment, I think type1s need to consider this more than type2s though, I know of some that lower their insulin pump injections before exercise passes, or other physically demanding activities.

Then there is also the observation of those on low carb diets, that they don&#039;t feel low at levels that most people, or even themselves prior to switching to the diet, would have felt low on and that is because their bodies have adapted to release sufficient stored glucose or to produce it through glucogenesis for the bodies needs and runs everything else on fats and ketones. Though reaching that function takes a couple of months for most people, as in western diets those bodily functions are rarely if ever used.</description>
