 Comuppance
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I've been able to, on occasion, indulge in a sweet desert. Today I had some chocolate cake. Normally, my BG will go up into the 130's and then settle down after doing this. Well, today I got my comuppance -- about ah hour after lunch I got a headache and checked my BG levels -- 177! YIKES! It's never, I mean never, benn this high. Looks like my low yield pancreas is sending me a message -- no more playing with the edges and time to tighten up on the diet yet again.
I have to admit that I toyed with the idea of visitng a neighbor who is a diabetic and asking her for one-unit of insulin to see if it would bring down the BG faster than a workout. I rejected that idea and did the workout and brought the BG levels down to 106.
The saga continues and the restrictions get tighter.
