July 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.

^newAM 74//93 PM 109

 I started using my new meter and decided to cross check with the old meter. My Old meter told me "74" this morning and the new meter said 90. I am going to contact the manuyfactor and ask if I should calibrate the new meter. Odd thing: they sent the calibration fluid but not the instructions...

Fortunately, the Livongo web page has good instructions for using the calibration fluid. Oddly, they were basically the same as the other meters I have used.

^@I think I can blame the high score on the "wild rice" I had for dinner.

  ^HI do not understand how an evening core of 86 can go to 169 by morning. I truly do not understand this blood sugar shit!

²³ Another morning with a Ridiculously high morning score. I had bad insomnia.

²⁶ I feel a bit hungry and this is my best morning score in qutie a while. I must have been getting over something...
