fasting Blood sugar was 118 this morning. Had a light yogurt that was very nice :) Tried to go back to sleep. No luck so puttered around the house. Did some research on the computer. Had to find out some things about fertilizer. Had a mini luna about 9 a.m.  Got a bath yeah I was stinky ! Then went out and put gas in the truck man that hurts ! 20 bucks and not a quarter of a tank. Paid the phone bill and came home for lunch. Blood sugar at 10:30 was 93 he he he and still half the meds ! Lunch was chicken salad and a pita bread, strawberries and even a piece of chocolate. Drs appointment. Lo and behold they had a foul up and a charming young man did my follow up. He was really interested in what I had to say looked at my charts went over everything with me and treated me like a person. Uh huh so guess what .... I switched  Drs and he will be my primary doctor. Not that Dr Ghaffar was bad, just sort of dropped the ball with this diabetes thing. Oh and I am down to 239 pounds have lost another 2 pounds since last time. So all in all a great trip to the Drs office ! I go again May 31 and he wants labs done again just before that.  He liked the fact that I chose not to take meds for colesterol and that the glucophage seems to be working so well. Nice to get a pat on the back and told that I was doing all the right stuff. And watermelon it seems is one of the 3 deadly fruits.. He laughed when I told him I had eaten watermelon and 2 hours later blood sugar was 128 ... Seems that watermelon oranges and bananas are the highest in sugar and carbs. Those are the ones you have to be very careful with. So when I got out of the office had to run a couple of errands and had to pick up some cinderblocks for Lynn and deliver them. Joey wants to borrow my sissy chainsaw ha ha ha they have a big limb down. Blood sugar at 4 was 94 I had a piece of cheese and a diet soda on the way home. Fixed us some supper Minute steak with peppers and onions cabbage green beans and green salad. Also a small serving of those little green lima beans. first I have had any of those since we found out I have diabetes.  We watched the Big Bang Theory and Larry and I took the dogs for a walk, about 30 minutes they loved it. Chewie enjoys a walk. And so does Alex. 2 hours after supper and sugar was 89 had some pistachio pudding. Sugar free and made with almond milk. That really works for me. and is just sweet enough to hit the spot. Then I had a popsicle before bed... Thats where I am headed now its almost midnight and I am whipped ! 2 yard to get done tomorrow. Not to mention that this one needs some work also. But I think if we get the 2 that pay done we will take mother out and go fishing. That is a relaxing afternoon !
Tune in again ...
