May 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.

^high My dinner was Ramman with some potatoe and boiled onions added. I did not think it would be this high!

^sigh I forgot to take my morning pills...

^s2 While cooking dinner last night, I forgot to take my evening pills.

²¹ I suppose spaghetti, garlic bread and a couple of glasses of excellent beer lead to high blood sugars. The good news is those two beers make me not really give a shit...

^@ I started taking 1000mg Metormin in the evening. However, we also went to the Casino for the first time since January 2020 and I had a loaded potatoe, chocolate cake and ice creamme. This clearly jacked my blood sugar. Also, it takes a while for more metformin to kick in... 

^{% In mid morning, I was feeling awful and wondered if I had low blood sugar. I tested and found I did not.}

^{Merde It turned out I forgot to take my fucking evening pills. Merde!}

^{30I started with severe stomack pain last night after dinner. I thought it might have been faty steak and it may have been. After a while, I had to wander back to the bathroom and vomit a bit. I vomited twice more after going to bed, This weak, low volume, vomiting was not doing much to ease my pain.}

^{I decided I needed "working fluids" so I went to the kitchen and drank a couple of large glasses of water. I went back to bed and a voice in my head said "vomit in the toilet or in bed, your choice!" I trundled into the bathroom and vomited a lot I then went back to bed with the stomach pains gone.}

^{This morning I still feel crappy. I feel "puny" to use Kathie's expression.}

^{v Decades ago, I had the combination of bad food choices and reactions to my early diabetics medications,. "V" stands for ''}

^{"Vomito Ergo Sum"} 

^{"I vomit, therefore I am".}
