Blood Sugar Plateaus

Looking over my number charts for the past few months I just noticed that weight isn't the only thing that seems to jump and fall in steps. As I'm losing a decent amount of weight over the months it seems that my blood sugar numbers, which I have to record in the morning and at night, seem to stay in a "general area" for awhile then start to drop and stay at a new apparent set point. I had numbers that used to be in the 200's until I was medicated a few years ago. I went off my medication after having surgery in April and my numbers were generally decent. I know that I was expecting them last month to be in the 120's or so. Lately they've been dipping into the sub-100 range in the morning, and maybe 110 or so at night. The doctors seem to be pretty happy with these results.

There are occasional spikes. When you're playing with blood sugar I'm not surprised...you can't get a totally consistent number even with two consecutive tests. But you should have a general range in which you expect the test to come out in. I just happened to notice a general pattern in my numbers while looking over the old results.

So while they operate with different mechanisms and chemistry, weight and blood sugar seem to be both susceptible to the stair-step plateau effect.

Any other post-bariatric patients with diabetes notice this in measuring their progress? If so feel free to share...
