Ugh.  I hate it when real life gets in the way of my blogging.  Good news!  My blood sugar levels have been consistently going down.  Today? It was 134.  Still too high, but it’s getting to where It needs to be.  Unfortunately, diarrhea has been a side effect, but it’s been going away. Too much information, I know, but I like to keep it real.  Good and bad.  It only happens when I up my dosage (according to doc’s directions, of course) or take it too close to my meal.  I usually like to wait ten minutes. Then I take my metformin.

One thing I do miss is having a glass of wine.  Alcohol is a definite no-no with the meds I’m on.

Last week, though, when I started feeling shaky, I took my blood sugar and it was 166.  I believe that my body has been at such a high blood sugar level for so long, it wasn’t used to it being so low.  That’s just my thought and I’m not a doctor, just a lowly medical assistant who works for a major health insurance company. (Can’t say, clowns will eat me.)

Simpsons Sunday will be posted later today. I just wanted to give my friends an update on how I was dealing with my diabetes. (Still seems weird to type that.)
