Diabetes
« on: February 09, 2018, 03:08:55 AM »
Last night my blood sugar was 187 (too many mashed potatoes). I did a search "lower blood sugar fast". There were several suggestions to drink 2 glasses of water back to back and urinate as soon as you can. Also suggested was eat something high in protein. An ounce of cheese was on the list. I drank 2 - 12 ounce glasses of water and ate some cheese. It lowered my blood sugar to 127. Still a tad high but I can live with that.

I work with plenty of diabetic people. Some are useless at looking after themselves, some not.
Have had to represent a few when management have tried to discipline them for being late or acting (sometimes ridiculously) out of the ordinary.

Its a horrible slow working disease if not handled correctly.

I don't get enough exercise. Got a pita (Sciatica maybe?) that makes walking a struggle. Getting old isn't for sissies.

That's me bent then.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

You're far from ignorant ael. Thanks for the info. I just had blood work done. My next doctor's appointment is March 21st. I'll find out what they found then.
