  November 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.

  lateI checked the blood about 15 minutes late.

^* I could not sleep so about 4 am I got up, ate small amount of dark chocolate chips, drank some water and was asleep immediately after my head hit the pillow.

^T I had too many carbs on Thanksgiving and had a gin-n-tonic after dinner. It simply would have been too confusing to figuring when two hours after "putting fork down" happened.
