Did I mention that I got diagnosed as diabetic before Christmas?  Crap on a cracker.  Yeah.  I went in to the doctor because my stomach was hurting and they did a urine test strip to see if I had a kidney infection (on an off chance) and came back finding glucose and ketones.  I did a fasting glucose test and came back somewhere in the 280 mg/dL range, which is pretty uncool, I hear; and makes me pretty officially laden with teh diabeetus.  Medication and glucose monitoring started immediately...  We'll see how it goes.

I've been doing a fair bit better lately, so long as I watch what I eat like a hawk.  Also I've been on a course of doxycycline for longer than I feel comfortable with - when I'm out of pills I'll have taken the stuff for an entire month and a half.  Also, I got a new fiber supplement that's pretty killer.  So, holding steady for now.  Wonder when the next thing will cause me to explode?  Ugh.  But gotta be positive.  I can at least eat solid food now, and some of my favorite things :)  I did have to cut out a lot of my favorite vegetables, though...
