Weekend rest...

I have noticed something over the past few days.  After seeing the diabetes specialist on Monday, most of the week, I was still dragging.  I would get home and be so exhausted that I would lie down and sleep for about 2 to 3 hours or go to bed ridiculously early.

By Thursday, I noticed a bit of change.  I seemed to have more energy and was able to stay up longer.  By 5:30 PM, I was not really feeling like my energy levels were so low that I needed to get some rest.  That was definitely a bonus because I really hate having that dragging feeling.

I have been keeping regular tabs on my blood sugar levels.  I want the specialists to see if there is any real patterns.  Also, I want to see what patterns there are as well as how the additional medications are handling my blood sugar.

I have only be at it for 4.5 days, but I can see a slow decrease on the blood sugar levels in my system.  Two hours after breakfast, I seem to have my biggest spike.  I do decently for lunch and dinner.  Of course, lately, I have been back to eating proper foods.  For example, last night, my father and his girlfriend took me out to dinner at Red Lobster.  I had the half-order of grilled salmon with rice and broccoli.  It came with a salad and I had one cheddar bay biscuit (the entree took a bit too long for me to come out, so I succumbed to having one.)  That night, my blood sugar stayed under 200.  I was quite thankful for that.

Today, however, I got a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin and a large cafe latte from McDonald's.  My mistake.  The McMuffin is not what got me, but the latte.  I could taste that there was something sweet in it.  I did not ask for any syrup or sugar.  Two hours after eating, I measured my blood sugar and it was 283.  Before eating, it was 193.  Something is not right there, that is for certain.

So, it is probably really good that I continue monitoring closely what is happening with my system.  I know it gets to be a real drag, but I just have to put my head down and get used to this.  I cannot allow myself to get lazy or give up on getting this under control.

Today's Message From God:

Today, we believe God wants you to know that ...

nature is the best cure.

Whenever you are stressed or worried or uneasy, take a nice long walk in the nature, touch the ground with your feet, touch the trees with your hands, and the Divine nature of life will flow into you to ease your pain.

This leads me to my dream home.  I would like to have a house with lots of trees surrounding it and the neighbors are spread out quite a bit.  That way, I could walk on my own property and experience the beauty that nature provides.
