Thanks, FP, that is exactly what happens as I get very anxious, waiting for the other shoe to drop!
He is on different diabetes meds than me, because of my sulfa allergy, but he takes Metformin and a new one that he just got. I take Metformin and Januvia.
He gets so discouraged that he just tells himself he doesn't deserve to eat and fears food. The reading I was doing explained that fasting releases glycogen from the liver, which raises the blood sugar because the body is starving. Also, glycogen blood sugar highs are much more resistant to coming down than high blood sugar from food. So fasting is really, really bad for blood sugar stabilization.
However, today he had a fasting blood sugar of 84, from this afternoon, and earlier in the day we had some spanoktipita. Progress!!
