On a less important note...

I got a glucose meter today. Whee! Toys!

The lancet is truly almost painless. The point on my finger that I pricked an hour ago is less sore than the place on my finger where they nurse at the clinic jammed the needle in last Wed.

Oh yeah - this afternoon I got mildly lightheaded, a bit fogged in the head, and had a slight tingling in the cheeks and lips that has always indicated to me, blood sugar is low, elf needs food badly. So I checked it.

98.

Not low blood sugar, as I read it. It had been two hours since a rather large meal of eggs, ham, cheese, potatoes, etc, but still. I don't think a 98 glucose reading should be giving me those symptoms.

BTW, since I do have verbal diarrhea (I can hear a collective gasp of "no, REALLY?!?") I'm more than happy to start plopping this crud behind a filter if'n y'all want me to. I'm likely going to be babbling about it endlessly... I mean hell, I just got handed a nifty puzzle to solve. You think I'm going to be able to let this one be? Fuck no. :)

I'm interested in hearing about your nifty little puzzle. I have difficulties with low blood sugar (which seems to have gotten worse over the years) so it's fascinating for me to read the progress of someone who's actually doing something about it.

Babble away-- and keep taking care of yourself.
