Dinner: ZATARAIN'S Dirty Rice Mix with 1.7 pounds of hamberger (vice the recommended 1 pound) and broccoli florets.
Zatarain's Dirty Rice is quite nice but it helped really jack my blood sugar up due to
  1. I forgot to take my morning pills and
  2. there is a lot of rice in this dish.

  3. The only nice thing to look forward to is that I don't have my next A1C text until June; I still have plenty of time to overcome meals like this...

    Breakfast: oatmeal, two slices of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and water.

    Lunch: 'Frnech Dip" from Arby's, their curly fries and a medium "Diet Pepsi".

    Movie snack: a "large" nochetos with warm cheese dip and a large "Diet Pepsi".

    I went to the Village 8 Theater in Dodge City to see "Underworld"; their web site said the movie would start at 1:50. I sat down in the theater about 1: 38 and started wsaiting. I checked my cell phone clock and saw it was 1:58 and still not movie (but lots of insipit ads that were getting worst with each repetition). At 2:08, I went to the front desk and said "the movie was suppoed to start at 1:50". The kid behind the desk ran off to start the projedtor. About 2:10, another teenager came to ask "did you get the time from the website, sir?" "Yes." "The movie is supposed to start at 2:25. You can walk around the mall if you want?" "No, thanks, I'll just5 wait here." I made a remark about their insipic which "sucked incredibly". The kid wsas shocked (I suppose he doesn't actually watch his theater's ads...)

    by the time I started watching the movie, the cheese dip was quite cold...


    Dinner: At the Mexican place in the local mall, two items that were basically hamberger, refried beans and "Mexican" rice. I drank water with this dinner. After I got home, I took my evening pills and nearly gagged before I got them down. I could tell my stomach was upset...

    Pre-Bed Snack: gin-n-tonic

    I had a fine and serious case of post bedtime barfing. It started with having trouble getting my evening pills down (although the gin-n-tonic went down well). After going back to bed, I kept coughing and this really upset my wife (a light sleeper who snores). I finally got up, took a couple MucinexDM (for the post nazal drip) and a couple of Tums for the stomach and went back to bed after a while.

    I lost track of my recordings and those in green are the only records I bothered with.

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

    I should also keep track of how much I urinate after going to bed; this is an indication of how poorly I am dealing with my blood sugar. Hence ≤2 and >2 for how long I was abed before having to "offload" (units are in hours).

    "v" is for vomiting. 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...

    I know this is terribly self-involved but if I don't fret over this, who will?
