September 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.

²I had a nice dinner last night at Casey's Cowtown. I split a "Blooming Rose" with Kathie and had a salad, about half a Chicken Fried Steak with brown gravy, sweet corn, baked potatoe with butter and sour creamme.   AM 122    PM  125

³From the size of my dinner, I figured my Blood Sugar would have been higher. However, I had very little lunch before I simply ran out of appitite and quit eating...

^F We drove to Des Moines Iowa on the 8th to attend the 2021 USA-Canada Lions Leadership Forem. We returned home on the 12th. There were excellent seminars and inspiring speakers after the various Formal Meals. It was worth going to! 

¹⁵ I kept waking up feelng very hungry but I refused to get anything to eat because I wanted a low AM sugar reading. I was rather disappointed by my AM score and will take some chocolate to the bed room tonight.

^Faire We went to the 2021 Kansas State Faire in Hutchinson Kansas. We did not go last year from fear of sickening and possibly dying from the Pandemic (covid-19). We had lunch and I had a double burger and "Diet Coke". Two hours after eating this my blood was 128. A couple of hours after that, I ate some ice creamme but was feeling very grumpy so I tested again and scored 93. Without the ice creamme, I wonder just how deep into hypoglycemic I had been dipping...
