unfun last night

133 AM blood 29 August 2017

Kathie cooked steak last night on the grill she loves. It did not seem too greasy and I cut out a lot of fat. After dinner, I went to see a strange but enjoyable movie ("Dark Tower"). There, I had nachos and cheese and a small glass of "Diet Pepsi".

After I returned home, I drank some water. I also had an asmtha attack and found relief in both nose sprays.

I was in bed maybe an hour and started having a coughing fit. I didn't let myself think of why I was really coughing. I went to the bathroom, peed and thought I was going to vomit. I refused to induce vomiting. I went back to bed.

About a half hour later, I sat up in bed and had another coughing fit. Then, I watched myself desperately put on my crocs and ran to the toilet. I got the lid up before I projectile vomited twice and then had a couple more minor vometing episodes.

I went back to bed and it took a while to get back to sleep. I had dry mouth and figured I was simply dehydrated. I didn't have the ambition to go get a glass of water and actually sleep the rest of the night.

When I checked my blood sugar first thing this morning, it was much higher than I thought. This is a sign of illness.

latest physical results

Good news this afternoon.

My A1C was 7.3. This is above the usual range but is not an increase since the last physical.  This is good and I might even be able to lower my score before February 2018.

My AM score was 88 and my two hours past dinner was 91!  I suspect this was due to a small dinner...

I also lost 8 pounds since February. This is good but it might be that I emptied a couple of pounds of crap. (No, I really didn't...)

AM is a blood test taken upon awakening, PM is a blood test taken 2 hours after I finish my evening meal.

¹ There are times when diabetes simply puzzles me. My evening meal should have been light enough to not result in this enormous score. There has got to be something else going on.

² I had a small dinner, so I assume that was the cause of this very low evening number.

<sup>3 I had an unpleasant time immediately after going to bed.

4</sup> I rather suspected the evening score would be less than the morning...

I'm happy this month is over! There were too many caveats!
