Being diabetic, I have to keep track of what I eat. (I haven't done a good job of maintaining this blog this year...)

I should also keep track of how much I pee after going to bed; this is an indication of how badly I am dealing with my blood sugar. Hense ≤2 and >2 for how long I was abed before having to "offload".

"v" is for vomiting and "s" for shit (actually diarrhea). I've had the diabetic stomach problems and sometimes wonder if it is the food I've eaten or damaged nerves. A trait of diabetes (or so I'm told) is nerve damage that leads to poor emptying of the stomach into the
intestines...

Dinner: Left overs from lunch. I was feeling a bit ill before dinner but I ate it anyway.

Pre-Bed Snack: I had two gin-n-tonic even through I thought I probably6 should not have had the second. About an hour after going to bed, I was swallowing stomach juices and went into the hallway bathroom.

14 November 2008

Breakfast: Oatmeal, one slice sour dough bread with about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, a bananna and a cup of coffee. (My boss was trying to get rid of cake leftover from yesterday's office luncheon yesterday.)

Snack: I had a couple of meatballs and a bannana.

Lunch: Container of strawberry yogurt, an orange and (at home) a tuna samwhich on a slide of sour doubh bread and a can of DP.

Dinner: Stewed chopped up pork chop, slightly undercooked stewed (sliced) potatoe and too much sour krat; I drank water with dinner. This combination lead to a blood sugar reading 3! points lower than when I got up this morning!

NOT FOR MY WIFE'S EYES

There was a bit of a problem with boiling the pork chop.

I had worked the 4 am to noon shift and was very tired. So, after I put the pork chops on hot, to bring the water to a boil for a few minutes, I sat down by the computer and zoned out. I completely forgot the boiling water, which I had planned on reducing to a simmer after a few minutes.

I didn't remember them until the house was filled with dense smoke and the smoke detector went off. I checked the pork chops and the b ottoms werew burnt black, while the top was seriously overcooked.

The important thing is the house was filled with smoke and it was November. The gboog think is that it was a nice day and I opened the window in the main bedroom; both my cats went up onto it. I then turned the fans on in both bathrooms and over the stove. I also opened both the front and back doors and started wasiting for the house to air out.

It took almost three hours before the house stopped smelling like smoke. I waited a bit longer and then shut the windows, the doors and turned the fans off.

When Kathie got home, she mentioned how smoky the house was. I didn't have the nerve to tell her what happened...

13 November 2008

Breakfast: Burger King for their SOS, potatoe thingies and a can of DP.

Snack: A cup of coffee...

Lunch: I went to the Jetmore Lions Club and had salad with cottage cheese and thousand island dressing, roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, a roll with butter and water.

Snack: Sadly enuf, I had the munchies (or at least a craving for sweets) and had a small Diary Queen ice creamme cone dipped in choclate. This coast me $2.18! Two dollars and eighteen cents for a fucking ice creamme cone and a small one at that! I can see what this "Dairy Queen" never has many customers; they've priced themselves out of the market even if they are the only decent ice creamme place in town!

Dinner: Boneless chicken boiled in water and some wine, a small baked potatoe, boiled cabbage and after dinner a singel "Little Debbie" sugar coated donut.

I used to be a Navy Drug and Alcohol Drug Advisor and know drugs, alcohol and Navy programmes (in the 1980s).

12 November 2008

Breakfast: 1 slice of sour dough bread with a largish tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 cup of oatmeal with splenda and a cup of coffee.

Pre-Bed Snack: A tablespoon of peanut butter and no alcohol...

Veterans Day

Breakfast: Two hard boiled eggs made into egg salad samwhich on a slice of whole wheat bread and an apple. I had most of a single cup of bad coffee and some water.

Snack: An almost ripe bananna.

Dinner:  Plan             Reality
_________can of chicken   can of chicken
_________left over rice   left over rice
_________raw carrots      left at home...
_________1 bannana        2 almost ripe banannas
_________water            water

Snack: A bananna about two hours after starting to eat dinner...

The sad thing about working Veterans Day is that I often work it and if it is on a weekday, my wife has to work too. We are both Navy veterans and it would be nice to go to the military cemetary and watch the old vets march by and maybe join them. Still, there is hope for next year (but not much).

10 November 2008

Breakfast: cup cooked oatmeal, slice of whole wheat toast with big tablespoon peanut butter, apple and cup of coffee.

Lunch: orange, strawberry yogurt, slice of bread with peanut butter and water.

I'm not supposed to be eatting the potatoes or grape jelly or having any coffee let alone three cups. Oh, well, Anne (my new diabetes educator), I am cutting down as you told me to do... :)

Lunch: 1 ½ rubben samwhiches and a can of DP.

Snack: three little sugar coated donuts and at work, a frozen meatball warmed in the microwave oven with some mustard put on before I ate it.

Dinner: The left over stewed pork chops, potatoes and some additional sour krat. I drank water with this and had several miniture Oreo cookies later as I got quite the sweet tooth...

I am planning on using the meal components that Anne gave me tomorrow. This should be interesting if not fun...

8 November 2008

Breakfast: Kathie's "Big Breakfast" of scrambled eggs, well cooked bacon, Serri Lee coffee cake and a can of DP.

Lunch: Steak, baked potatoe, broccoli and a can of DP.

Dinner: Stewed pork chop, part of a boiled potatoe, lots of sour krat and water for my drink. I'm trying to serious cut back on the caffein and that is why I only had two cans of DP today and 1 ½ cups of coffee (the first before breakfast and a ½ when I got to work.

                             bottle of "Fat Tyre"  (not a bad beer but nothing I want again...)
                             Their "Mudslide" desert, which consists of:
                                  *choclate brownie
                                  *vinilla ice creamme
                                  *fudge sauce
                                  *one cherry

Well, it came with two cherries, the brownie was hard as rock, there was very little ice creamme and no Fudge syrup.

We complained and the Evening Manager took this "desert" off our bill. In the past, the Dodge City Montana Mike's typically is missing at least one ingredient of this desert. This is the first time an ingredient has been inetable!

Snack: A gin-n-tonic...

Lunch: An orange, a container of strawberry yogurt and at home, a chicken breast from Dillins plus a can of DP.

I vomited about an hour after going to bed.

Normally, this is prestaged by me coughing up globs of yellow crap and then vomiting. This time, I barely made it to the bathroom before vomiting and the coughing up of yellow crap didn't come for maybe 10 minutes afterwards. Not a goog way to end a long day! My wife was/is concerned about my health and was pissed off at me keeping her awake!

I am writing this at 2:07 pm on the 31^st and I can feel the early stages of the vomiting already.

Maybe my brother Charlie is right about me needing to see an internist and maybe my wife is right about me needing to see our family MD. However, I don't like "going to the Doctor" if I can help it...

I had forgotten to take my blastedmedications with dinner (I went out to dinner) and didn't remember until almost an hour after going to bed. By that time, I would have had to eat something, brush my teeth again and this would have completely waken me and upset my wife. Besides, my dog was sleeping between my wife and I and our boy cat (Frosty) was sleeping between me and the edge of the bed. Our other cat (Kelly) was sleeping at the end of the bed between Kathie's feet and the edge of the bed. By this time it would have been too late to save me from my A1C test and I didn't really want to wake up the family...

putting in old entries

For a long, long time, I simply didn't entry my daily reports into this
blog. I decided to start by entering my missing October 2008 entries.
What a hassle! After uploading a mere five or so, I've decided to call it
quits.

It was just too boring to do!

This score is the highest it has been in a long time. So, what could have caused it? I'm thinking it is the food I ate (snack and dinner) and more important, not exercising. I worked from 8 am to 4 pm (7 52 am to 4 28 pm actually) and then went to the Montezuma Kansas Lions Club meeting.

I intend to walk tomorrow morning and since it will be a Wednesday, I will also lift weights. I can only hope this will help be with the A1C test come the 23 of November...

I had a Foster's oil can (Aussie beer) and a "small" gin-n-tonic for "desert".

Drinking that much beer and gin-n-tonic was a big mistake!

About an hour after going to bed, I started burping up stomach juices. I'd swallow them and go back to sleep. Then, I woke up realizing that I had stomach juices coming out of my left nostril. I must have been really asleep to sleep through this. (Thank God I never sleep on my back or I could have chocked on these juices like Jim Morrison did! Howver, I was sobor and the legend what that he wasn't...)

Well, enuf is enuf so I went into the main bedroom bathroom and sternly told my stomach "Time to barf if you want to!" Naturally nothing happened so I stuck my finger down my throat several times (6?) and that brought up enuf stomach juices that I was able to feel comfortable in going back to bed.

First, I had to wath my hands so I left this bathroom and went to the hall bathroom and found my wife getting ready to come to bed. Conversation:

Her:"Are you OK?"

Me: "I am now..."

Her: "Were you vomiting?"

Me: "Errr, sort of..."

Her: What do you mean, sort of? You either were or you weren't!"

Me: "Yeah, I was..."

Her: "I thought so; don't try to hide this from me."

Me: "Yes, dear..."

It all came down to my stomach not emptying worth a damn and that I can not consume too many liquids before going to bed. Or course, I can't eat too much grease before going to bed. So, it is a toss up
as to which (if either) is the causative factor in my barfing withing two hours of going to bed. Fortunately, this typically only happens once a month or so. I won't let myself consider the times it comes in clusters of a couple or three nights in a roll...

Lunch: Offcice buffet with meatballs in sauce over noodles, a slice of meat pizza, a little bit of salad, slice of choclate cake with some vinilla and some choclate ice creamme and a can of DP. Really had to have screwed up the A1C...

Dinner: I read a webpage which talked about broccoli florets being the key to "taming" one's blood sugar. So, I went to the 14^th Street Dillions and bought 3 heads of broccoli. Then, I had

• a head of boiled broccoli florets,
• a small amount of sliced beef (fried)
• and a glass of water.

My morning blood sugar was 111 and my evening was only 113! I guess that shit (broccoli) works!

It left me hungry so I had a half peanut butter samwhich on a slice of sour dough bread before bed with a gin-n-tonic.

They put a cautionary note in: "you're going to have gas like Sauda Arabia" [or words to that effect] if you increase your fiber intake. I had that gas this morning; I practically "jet propelled" myself out of bed and to the main bedroom at 4:16 am...

Breakfast: Oatmeal and coffee.

Lunch: Some left over stew but not too much of the meat (it was stringy and tough) and a couple of largish potatoe chunks plus a can of DP.

Snack: I was fairly hungry so I bought a can of cheap corn beef hash, put it into a sauce pan, cracked an egg over it and cooked it over low heat until the egg was done. It was good but a couple of hours after eatting, I was afraid that I'd spoiled my dinner. My 29th Anniversary Dinner!

Dinner: We went to Mike Casey's "Casey's Cowtown" and I had

• salad with thousand island dressing,
• a nice KC strip steak,
• baked potatoe (looked small but was more than I ate),
• roll with butter and
• corn.

I thought about having desert - their flaming custard but I didn't because

• I'm worried about the upcoming A1C test on 20 November 2008,
• I was afraid I'd end up getting sick from both the steak fat and the desert and
• I simply felt too stuffed!

Who would have thought I'd feel too stuffed?

leg cramps...

I made roast beef last night and it was quite good. Unfortunately, any fat with the beef stayed in the gravy. So, I didn't drink much with dinner and had a gin-n-tonic after dinner. I deliberately refused to drink much water for fear that my stomach would be too full.

One of the symptoms of diabetes I have is that too much liquids and a fatty dinner will result in barfing about an hour after going to bed. So, I abstain...

About an hour and a half after going to bed, I awoke with the beginnings of a leg cramp in my right leg. I sat up planning on walking to the main bathroom and peeing; by the time I stood up, my left leg was incredibly painful! I could barely get my flop-flips^* on and stumbled to the bathroom. There, it was simply too painful to do anything so I walked out to the kitchen. Then, for no apparent reason, I sat down on a living room chair and the cramps subsided immediately.

I went back to bed a couple of minutes later. My wife mentioned that maybe I was dehydrated and did I drink any water? I said no. (I typically don't drink water at night because it usually gives me a stuffed up nose.)

A couple of hours later, my right leg cramped and I did the put on slippers, go to the main bathroom to pee and went back to bed.

I had worked on hard on Wednesday and nearly as hard yesterday and I thought I'd walked/run too much on the treadmill. Maybe I did? However, the wikipedia page on noctural leg cramps said in part: "The precise cause of these cramps is unclear. Potential contributing factors are believed to include dehydration".

I guess they are right.

* I despise the phrase "flip-flops" as it is cutesy and "American"; the
correct name for these shoes is "zorrie" as they were invented in Okinawa and not Oklahoma!
