_____Breakfast: from McDonalds: pancakes and a single sausage patty and coffee

________Lunch:  at "Tre Amigos" for a couple of Mexican dishes and a "Diet Coke". They kept screwing  up my refill and tried to give me a "Dr. Pepper" twice rather than a "Diet Coke". We figure this was a language problem...

After lunch, I had a sudden craving for an ice creamme cone so I went to Dairy Queen and had one. Ater this, I started shaking, felt weak and decided I needed to get home so I cancelled the rest of my afternoon plans and went home. I checked my blood sugar and it was 79! This for me is hypoglycemia and I wonder what it would have been before I had the ice creamme. I felt crappy for a while so I let myself nodd off on the couch and felt a bit better after a 25 minute (or so) nap.

_______Dinner:  Healthy Choice Bar-B-Que and water and a post dinner score of 156. I remember bad mouthing my youngest brother for not getting his own blood sugar under control. This was years before I was diagnosed and before I learnt how hard this control can be...

Pre-Bed Snack:  a small amount of chocolate cake and a gin-n-tonic
