Well, I was about to write about all the blood sugar crashes I've been having, but I just realized that I'm too hungry to do that. Argh. The good news is that I emailed my doc and she is giving me a prescription for glucometer supplies - we have the glucometer from when wife had gestational diabetes. Need to know what the sugars actually are when I ( Read more... )

Yesterday I bought crackers at the farmers' market for small son. He rejected them, possibly because he had eaten blueberries until his tummy hurt. (That was an exhausting shopping trip. Just me and the 2 year old.) Had a few at lunch. They are not the breadstuff I crave. I am sorry bought them ( Read more... )

As we head into yet another heat wave, I'm forced to admit that last summer's passionately persistent wanderings in the Wissahickon were made possible by the cooler than usual weather. This year I'm doing well if I walk up Wayne Ave. (26 min.) instead of Greene (20 min.). Heck, this year I'm doing well if I don't wimp out and drive ( Read more... )

Yet another hormonally-induced flareup. Ye gods, I can't stand it. This can't continue to be a quarter of my life like it has been the last 2 months. I'll scream.

In many ways this one wasn't nearly as bad as the last one. I've at least had the dubious satisfaction of being able to blame some of the bad feelings on bad behavior. There have been too ( Read more... )

Ah. A moment of insight: sugar clouds my judgment.

I was eating lunch today, and noticed that I finished the container of Ethiopian lentil salad I bought. It is a thing I often buy, but seldom finish. This time, I ate a little each day until it was gone. I think that when my body is trying to process sweets, it doesn't have much left over for ( Read more... )
