good eatting and horrible numbers!

Dinner: At the High Street Brfewer and Cafe in Eugene Oregon:

  • Appetizer: tater tots with cheese dip
  • Hamberger (1/3 pound) with Tillamooh cheedar cheese and a fried egg
  • plus great french fries
  • and two glasses of a great microbrew beer!

    The hamberger was so good it deserves to be mentioned by it's name ("Wilbur's Jumbo Deluxe Burger") and it's description "Bacon,Tillamook cheddar, & a fried egg" on their menu.


    Events have consequences and so did my "little" binging...


  • Then, 2 hours and 30 minutes later, I took my "two hours after eatting blood reading" (the above figure of 201!).


    For most folks, that might seem too high. But for me, it is quite high and will probably fuck up my A1C test in late May! (28 May 2006: This little binge probably had it's part in my getting an increase in A1c from 6.8 to 7.0! in late May!) However, it was well worth it!



    Dinner: At the Golden Crown in Beaveron, Oregon, the number 9 and a beer.

    This food was quite good but was quite bad for me! Two hours after eatting, I had the highest blood sugar reading I've ever recorded! This was:


    For me, this was a shockingly high value. I just knew that it really help fuck up my A1C test in late May (and I rather think that it did!). Alas but it did give me a really strong hint on what I shouldn't eat. Also, I could take comfort in the fact that I go to this restraunt perhaps once a year and almost never go to Chinese elsewhere. Kind of a reassurring thougth, kind of...

    Of course, I being a highly intelligent type who takes bad news in stride and knowing that I should do nothing to jack that frigging reading, didn't go out for a walk but had a beer instead...

    Ok, I may be fairly intelligent but sometimes I just sigh and do the easy but bad things...

    Besides, I felt better after having that beer. (I didn't get around to telling me wife just how bad bad was...)
