I feel like crap. I thought I felt like crap before. Nope! I really feel like crap now. I'm not sure if it's lack of donuts...lack of food because I am severely sick to my stomach...but I'm betting it's the medication getting into my system. I can gar-un-tee that's what it is. But my blood sugar readings are as follows:
In DR's office: 478 - Before Lunch: 369 - Before Supper: 315 - Before Bed: 241
Today - Before Breakfast 266 - Before Lunch: 258 - Before Supper: 286 (I'm still up so no bedtime reading as yet).
It's OK. I will be very conscientious. Like I said...I now know what the problem is and I never want to feel the way I have in the past few weeks again. I kept saying I was going to make changes in my life and I mean it. I wish it wasn't this drastic.
I spent the day doing more research. Mostly for meal plans. I actually have several diabetic cookbooks that I have been checking out. I have to limit carbs to none for the next two weeks. DR said to eat protein and lots of vegetables. No fruit!!! Maybe later...I LOVE fruit! And donuts.
I got blood drawn this morning at 8 o'clock by Vampire-man. He took 3 - count 'em - 3 vials! And he had to use BOTH ARMS!! Hey! Wait a minute!!! It's Halloween! What was thinking!! Damn......
He said it was for a 'complete screening' which includes organ function. I said, "What if I only have a piano?" He laughed. Made me feel good.
But I came home and laid down allllllll day. And that's what I am going to do tomorrow and more than likely the next day.
I think I am going to hate beans. Just a personal observation.
I should take this time to be very, very crafty. I got a few things out today and just set them aside. Tomorrow is another day. I have an order for some earrings and I really need to get those done. And, yes, I am tired...but right now my eyes are pretty messed up. There is no way I can see to assemble anything in artificial light. Tomorrow.
Guess what? When we to the DR this AM...it was crispy cold! And according to the Weather Channel it was only 40 degrees at 9:00AM! There is a freeze warning out tonight for the Davis Mt's just North of us and I think we will get pretty close to freezing also.
It's shower time. I am starting to see blurry letters so I better stop. Have a nice nite!

omg. I cry when I have to have blood drawn. You are a brave little soldier. Just try to rest and get better - you don't need to "do" anything. Call if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The holes are ENORMOUS!!!!! Both arms I tell ya!!
ReplyDeleteThank you kind Anonymous...
Next time do not get ur blood drawn on Halloween! They take more out than they should. Take it easy and dont stress. Here is one for you to remember, fits me real well!! Organized people are to lazy to look for things. I agree with that, where is the challenge if everything is in its place? Glad that you laughed. I love you and miss you, hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteRene, you so clever!! You are so right..."I" know where everything is...and that's what counts. Prime example - Russ cooking tonight - Where's the foil? Where's a pan to put this in? Where is the - never mind, I found it.
ReplyDeleteIt keeps him on his toes! Love you and I'm counting the days!
