Alright. I admit it. I am scared.
Why am I scared? Last night I was testing my sugars and I was getting readings throughout the night of 10.6 and 12.4 - I've never knowingly been that high before. This morning I was at 8.5 before breakfast. My feet are more numb and tingley now than ever (other than the time they both went completely numb for about a month).
It really is wake-up time for me. I've been taking my medication (still just the single dose of Metformin though) since Thursday... missing only Sunday... which is good (to me at least) because I am notorious for missing every other day or days in a row. I've also refilled my Crestor so now I have ALL the medication I need at my fingertips. No excuses.
Today's Progress:
Breakfast: two poached eggs with two small slices multigrain toast (with butter), coffee with double milk (!) and Splenda.
Lunch: 8oz roast pork loin with some gravy, about 5 roasted mini-red potatos and 1/2 cup green salad (w/balsamic vinegar dressing).
I went for a walk down the driveway at work - it is probably almost a 1.5km walk in total. I took my first dose of Metformin after breakfast. Today is the day I take the recommended dosage!
So what did all that get me? Well, 1 hour after eating lunch I took my sugar reading: 6.0 - a normal healthy 6.0.
Keep it up!
