I am kind of ashamed of myself at the moment. Over Christmas I became kind of lax at taking my diabetes pills, metforman. I take them, but not as regularly as I should. Plus, I ate way more bad stuff than I usually do. Some sweets but mostly all those other goodies like potatoes, bread and salad dressings etc.
The other thing I stopped doing was checking my blood sugar numbers. I had been keeping them down around 3 and a half to six. Never more.
So, last night I noticed my blood checking kit sitting on the windowsill beside my chair. On a whim, for the first time in over a month, I decided to check. I knew it would be higher due to the type of meal I had eaten about one hour before. So I grabbed the kit, poked my thumb, stuck it in the little machine and BAM!!! 22!!!!! Holy Hannah!!! Thats BAD BAD BAD!!! I was shocked! I double checked and yup! thats what it was. OMG!!!
Not checking allows denial. God! So no snack before bed and this morning its back down again but that was a real wake up call that was! I need to get back to what I did months ago. Three days fasting and one day sensible eating. Keeping that number down to around 4 over a long period of time (a month) allows you to go back to healthy eating without spikes up to frigging 22!
So I am laying it out here....back to the plan. If I find myself not checking my numbers again...I will know why!!! Now I need to go outside into that miserable freezing blowing wind and shovel a damned sidewalk and driveway. Monte is sick and it needs shovelling, sick or not. (shovel list..hahaha). TTYL
