I wish I had some cookies.

How low can I go? This might be the night I find out. I injected 20 units of mealtime insulin at 6:45 p.m., stuffed myself on a low-carb dinner of special-recipe meatloaf and a big tub of Chia Seed Pudding, and by 9 p.m. my blood sugar had plummeted to 60, which is about HALF of where it’s supposed to be two hours after a meal. I’ve never had a post-mealtime low like that before, which is very scary for two major reasons; 1) those chia seeds I ate will continue to drop my blood sugar during the night — their number one “benefit” is lower blood sugar! — so I just ate a pile of Schwan’s frozen Krunchie Potato Wedges (see portrait below) to make sure my numbers don’t get too low; and 2) I’m all alone here because Sam is still horsing around in California with his relatives.

I wish I had some cookies. I love cookies.

In other news from Diabetesland ... I’m having assorted neuropathy issues tonight, as well. This time it’s low body temperature, heel pain and dizziness when I stand up too fast. To remedy these symptoms I’m just planning to go to bed and ignore them. Thank you.
