Maybe it really is the carbs??

Day before yesterday (10 January 2006), I should have gotten off work at noon and had lunch about 12:20 pm. Instead, I worked overtime to 1:30 pm due to a computer system I was changing passwords going tits up. Well, only one of the computers went tits up and we were able to force it to accept a new "root" password...

I left word at 1:35 pm (or so) dropped off a suit coat at the dry cleaner and thought of going to "a nice place" (nice for diabetics anyway). But I was hungry and didn't...

Being very hungry, I went to King's Buffet and had entirely too much "oriental" food. I had one plate of chicken and beef, about a tablespoon of noodles and maybe a third cup of sliced potatoes. Then, another plate of chicken, pork and more chicken and about the same amount of potatoes. Desert was a small bown of ice cream (which I didn't finish) and part of a creme puff (which looks a whole lot better than it tasted!)

I figured it was going to be a good thing I'll have about 5 hours
and 20 minutes between getting done then and testing my blood sugar at 7:15 pm. At 5:10 pm, I ate a salad that was mostly lettuce, several slices of peperoni, some cheese and a half cup or so of cottage cheese.

Desert, of course, was Pepto-Bismol...

I thought my blood sugar would be too damn high. It was 104!

Yup, 104!

This is better than many of my morning fasting readings.

Either the machine is off (unlikely) or the lunch I'd had was basically meat with very little in the way of carbs. My dinner was salad with very little in the way of carbs.

This business of trying to "manage" my diabetics often perpluxes me...
