On a less important note...

kickahaI 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. :)
