After a shitty summer cold that leveled me like a big wad of chewing gum, I'm mostly better. Fasting BG was 103 mg/dL today. Fo real!

My BG went up to 195 today!!! I am on the same diet, same meds. WTF? Every time I think I have a clue about diabetes, I get a new lesson. I see the endocrinologist in two weeks.  Another round...

Metformin or no metformin ... I have to watch what I eat ... check the ingredients, where are the cheap carbs and sugars? I am not always going to have time to eat whole foods, but I will have time,...

I had a tasty dish with Thai Curry last night -- which contains a lot of coconut milk.  It was not overly sweet by any means, but looking at this morning's BG, it's a no no.

It is always great to be asked to do service and the more I have done it, the more it has changed my attitude and outlook. The one thing I had to say about step 7 "Humbly asked God to remove our...

All this good food, metformin (which I tolerate well, fortunately) and some regular exercise (cardio and weights) is paying dividends. Just wish I could find the valve for the palates ball!!!  It...

The metformin seems to help even out glucose over the day. Also -- it is consistently lower. A little each day. Today -- I am eating well.  Today I have not had a drink and I am not hungover. ...

The drug works -- but not without my help -- regular eating of shoe foods is key!

There is a pain in my shoulder -- over my right shoulder blade ... I call it mouse shoulder.  You sit and move the mouse 500 times during a day of work with a computer, and by the end you have mouse...
