Trigger Mike Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I had a wild idea. I decided to buy some ready to drink emphamil baby formula in 8 ounce bottles. My sugar had been high all morning, as in above 205 since after breakfast. I decided to try the baby formula. Within minutes my sugar dropped to 177. I'm wondering if that might be a good solution for sugar peaks. I'm going to try again at my next spike. I told my wife and she said, "we can't afford to keep you in baby formula" , I guess she has other priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My health insurance company assigned me a counselor on diabetes and she said glucerna, etc is bad for me because of all the chemicals. It does drop my sugar some when I do drink it. I was hoping baby formula is not as bad since we do feed it to babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Let us know if you start having the urge to gurgle, make bubbles with your drool, or poopy in your pants. If that happens you need to cut back on the formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I suggest gluten-free, low carb ice cubes. These work well for me as a labile (brittle) diabetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned that as an option but she couldn't have children so we adopted and thus breast feeding from her is not an option, so she replied that I could go find a source for breast milk, after I got them pregnant. I declared I would just do without I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw the scum I clean off my filters, you would not drink it out of the tap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 @Trigger Mike I meant my comment in terms of paying as compared to the cost of the canned drinks. Really did not intend other meaning but can see what I wrote could have another interpretation. I'm OK with having my post removed if you wish. Feel free to report it; I won't object. Please accept my apology for any offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
