Over the weekend, I forgot to bring some home, and didn't have it for 2 days. My blood sugar levels crept upwards during the weekend. Upon returning to work, I started it up again, and by Tuesday I was having lower and more stable glucose numbers. Of course, there are other possible factors... like warm weather, weekend food, stuff like that...
Here is an article that seems to go along with my experience.
I'm going to include some of my data that will explain why I'm so intrigued by this phenomena.

| The first day I drank Yerba Mate tea. Perhaps one of the best days of glucose control I've had in a while. |

| Not only did I use less insulin those days, I also ran lower glucose numbers. Notice the creep up on the weekend. |

| While Sunday, 3/18, looks to be a low insulin day, I lowered my basal for a 20 mile bike ride, and my BG was higher overall. |
You know what I notice there? The days in the green shaded area don't have a much smaller range (except for 3/12), but they practically all line up on your low line.
ReplyDeleteYes, the range on those days all scraped along the bottom of my comfort zone, and I kept it from going any lower. However, I don't think that's the only interesting thing.
ReplyDeleteThe circles on each day represent average for the day. You can see that those are all lower than the previous week (regardless of range). I spent most of each day at lower levels than the previous week, on less insulin, without going hypo. As a CGMS watcher, it was fascinating to see.
There are loads of hype about methods of making money with Amazon yerba affiliate programs and it seems to be the topic of many conversations these days. Amazon is one of the leading affiliate websites known to many. Since Amazon is world-renowned and is one of the most trusted shopping destinations on the web, many people are tempted to join their affiliate programs.
