3 May 2011

Breakfast: home made spaghetti consisting of:
  • left over noodles
  • two hot dogs
  • about ½ a can of tomatoe sauce
  • coffee
I'll have to see if the milk I left at work is still good and still in the office refrigerator...

Lunch: we went to Burger King and I had
  • a ½ pound
  • fries
  • a  medium "Diet Pepsi"
Dinner:  a Healthy Choice Sweet & Tangy Chicken BBQ (Chicken Tenderloins in BBQ Sauce, Sweet Corn Blend, Red Skin Potatoes & Caramel Apple Multigrain Crisp) and water

I was feeling ill yesterday and visited my family MD this morning. He gave me some meds for a bladder infection. . My A1C was 8.1 so Dr. H doubled my Actos  from 15 mg to 30 mg and had me buy a 90 day prescription of this stuff. Given that 30 mg tabs of Actos seems to be much more expensive than Lizard Spit, it looks like I've lost this battle and will be "on the needle" in early August. I hope this note doesn't sound to whiny or too "Drama Queen" or too over the top. The "Drama Queen" is what Kathie called me the last time I got all "over the top" (to use Dr. H's phrase) about going "on the needle".

OK, it just means the battle (control of my A1C) has not been lost; I just need to change my battle tactics...

Regardless, it may be the infection or doubling the Actos but I feel awful.

P.S.:  I was thinking I was running a bit of a fever and was thinking of leaving work early tonight. Fortunately, they had an office party this noon so I ate some (about a third of a cup to a half of a cup) of ice creamme and dark chocolate and immediately felt better. Hummm, so this is what a touch of low sugar might feel like to me? Maybe it just meant the cold ice creamme cooled me off?
