Snack: For the second day in a row, I felt intense ice cream cravings. I went to Dairy Queen and had a medium "chocolate Sundae".
Dinner: We went to Montana Mike's where I had a 16 oz rib eye steak (took ½ home), a large "loaded" baked potato (took much of it home) and a roll (which I also took about half home). I did eat all my salad and Kathie and I split a piece of chocolate cake.
______When I tested my blood sugar two hours after eating, it was the worst it has been in months: 216! Depressing but then I did eat a lot of potato and that desert. There may be other processes going on but I can't blame "I'm feeling ill". I felt fine!
______Kathie asked me if I wanted a gin and tonic and I said yes. I was feeling stunned by the high score and figure "what the fuck? why not?" and drank it. (There was something in the taste that appealed to me.) Afterwards, I realized that we had used diet tonic water, limes are not carb sources and alcohol is carb neutral. So, I actually did something that made me feel slightly less upset that was also not that harmful for me...
______I'll have to see what score I crank up some Tuesday morning when I do my pre-breakfast test and the 2-hours after dinner test at work...
______We're getting a new hire on 17 October 2006 and I'm wondering if the office secretary -er- "Admin Assistant" will brief her on me or if some other person will mention "Mike is a diabetic" or best of all, she can catch me sitting at my work station doing either a morning or evening blood test. (This desk is slightly hidden by some equipment racks and is marginally "out of sight".)
______Anyway, about an hour after I went to bed, I got up with the urgent need to offload sugar (i.e. take a pee). At 6:25 am, it was the same thing; this time, I didn't get back to sleep. Then, when I got out of bed around 8 am, it was "time to water the Porcelain Flowerpot". (That, of course, is my new euphonium for "taking a pee")
