May 2020

My first family MD told me to test my blood sugar twice a day on two different days. I took his advise of testing first thing in the morning on Tuesday and Thursday. My VA Doc changed the second "testing time" to two hours after I finished eating dinner. My three family MDs since 2004 and various VA Docs have agreed with this testing plan.

Kathie is now type 2 as well and is testing on Monday and Thursday. So, I am now testing those days as well.

^*I woke up with severe indigestion 3 times and took Tums. I aso ended up with leg cramps 4 times. Then, because Kathie is going back to work today, she got up at 7 am and I slept in ti almost 7:15 am! I took my temperature about a half hour after getting out of bed and it was 97.5℉. While this is almost "normal" for me, it is not a "fever".

^LI felt so crappy that I had to check my blood sugar (it was 80). The next morning, I felt fine yet my fasting blood sugar was lower (74). I simply do not understand blood sugar or diabetes!
