New medication! Yahoo!
This morning I've started taking a higher dose of Metformin -- double my usual amount, and with the two dosing sets only four hours apart instead of twelve hours apart. Since Metformin has been known to *cough* have some explosive lower intestinal effects, it might be a very interesting day.
Yesterday my blood sugars spiked over 15.0 twice, and frankly I'm tired of dealing with it. Some people suffer clear physical effects at blood glucose levels that high (dizziness, blurrred vision, etc); me, I'm one of the lucky (or not so lucky) ones whose body just absorbs the impact without any symptoms. But I'm still concerned about the hit my heart and kidneys are taking, not to mention the smaller blood vessels throughout my body. So up we go on Metformin and we'll see if it calms things down a bit.
A couple of links that y'all might find amusing. First, Chuck Lorre's Vanity Cards. Vanity cards are those images that appear for two and a half seconds at the end of television shows. Rather than being content with a graphic that can be read in that brief flash of time, Lorre decided to pack his vanity cards with long and wordy musings on a variety of topics, to be read when those who taped his shows viewed them on a VCR and could use the freeze-frame function. They're very amusing and definitely worth reading.
Second, Subservient Chicken. Type in commands and watch the chicken obey! Cluck cluck, flap flap.
Off to... decide what I'm going to do today. MM or HB? Or work on fanfic for a while? *ponders*
