April 2021 

 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 and just before eating my evening meal.

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  type 2 as well and we both are testing on Monday and Thursday.

^* I was so busy fixing dinner the night before I forgot to take my evening pills.

⁶ I woke up feeling horrible. I felt weak.  It was hard to get out of bed. So, I thought it must be hypoglycemic and I tested my blood sugar. I was surprised to find it was 135! 

It would appear that as covid-19 diminishes in terror for me, my old bugaboos are coming back center state to fuck with me.

Even after a 2 egg and half slice sour dough bread breakfast I still feel ill.

^{13  We normally test on Mondays but we were in Wichita. We had rich diners and to much to drink the evening of Sunday and this would have screwed up our morning test results. So we deferred out testing until Tuesday and I wonder if it made a damned bit of difference!.}

¹⁴ I wondered how last night's dinner would affect me; I was shocked! 

¹⁹ This was a good day! 

^A1C My meter and test stripe supplier has asked me I'd like an A1C test kit. I said "yes". There is no telling how long it will take for this test gear to get here... 

²⁶ I have not a happy camper due this number. I had better check my evening drugs... 

²⁷ After last night's high of 174, I felt the need to check this morning. It is somewhat better.

²⁸ I felt hungry from after about 3 am and waited to see if I was hypoglycemic; sadly, I was not.
