Lucky to be here

Today was awful. My sugar went up to 315 last night, 3 hours after insulin it went to 375, then crashed to under 70 at 330 in the morning, then back up to 350 and was around there all day no matter how much the insulin. Finally feeling better. Can't wait to see what bullshit it has in store now. I'm not sure what started it. Yes I had pizza. I have lots of pizza and never had this happen. Might have been the flour because several lately have been awful. But today all I had was salad and eggs so I think it was not related.

But as a result I didn't go see the lights in Gallipolis today (eh it was raining off and on all day). I didn't get much cleaned either and I'm depressed I didn't clean this place spotless but today I have to let that go because I was so ill I could barely see or move.

I did clean the most dire thing though: the pantry bin. I found three cans rusted. ugh, out those soups go. Found a bunch of pastas (cheap) in there (many I didn't buy) and I'm giving them to m y secretary for her kids. I can't eat this stuff, ditto the right rice I had bought but there is SO much starch in it it might as well be real rice.

I also got all the gifts going back home for the family bagged up and I wrote two stories (not for fandom trees mind you) And I got an excited can't wait to read your story because it's Italian inspired and I'm an Italian (for my invisible women anthology submission) Oh great because it's mafia based. Yay for the worst of our culture. Head desk. (but it's based on a true speakeasy in a cave in St Paul MN)



Advent Joy

Day 10 - Read a chapter to start/finish a book Well that's right up my alley. I finished two and started two. eBooks - finished Blue Baby (meh) and started an arc for an Icelandic noir The Lost House. paper books finished the devil food cake murder (good god this was bad) and started true crime the vanishing at smokestack hollow (or something like that)

Tea - WHY is it another tisane? Blueberry cinnamon crumble rooibos ( green rooibos, beetroot, currants, blueberry leaves, malva flowers cinnamon, lemongrass and crumble flavor) it has no right to be this tasty

I was going to do my pictures today but I'm exhausted from the sugar rollercoaster.

Damn! Your blood sugar is wild! I'm glad it's back under control.

I hope you are recovering after that happened with your sugar! What a scare!
It sounds like you might need a calm, self care day! Take care of yourself! :)

Thanks. I'm fine now. This year I've been seeing real bumps from certain flour containing items (I'm assuming it's super cheap and/or has fructose or other nonsense in it). If nothing else it's a head's up to keep a log of things I need not to buy any more (this goes to this argument with a work friend who is an Olive Garden fan because she's vegetarian and we have few options here but refuses to accept I can't eat there. Their pasta is the worst for my sugar)

Maybe it's because I've gotten more self conscious about what I'm eating - but I've been hearing about the bad effects towards Red 3. So that's been interesting deep diving.
I hope things improve with your sugar. It can be a real struggle to find places to eat at with better choices. :-/

my endocrinologist is diabetic and she says the same thing about Red 3, she can see the inflammatory reaction to it track her sugar up on the DexCom

thanks. I need to get my DexCom working
