last couple days

Tuesday:
already posted breakfast
Lunch: salad. pulled pork, lettuce, salsa, onion, cheese. then another salad cause i was still hungry. lettuce, pulled pork, salsa, cheese, sour cream, a little parmesan.
I felt kinda dizzy after lunch...like sugars were low. it didn't make much sense, but i followed my body's instructions and had a cookie. One cookie. vanilla sandwich variety.

5 minutes later I was at work, feeling woozy and dazed but taking calls. 10 minutes after that I was leaning over a trash can trying not to puke. I sat up, saw sparklys. 10 minutes more...I was on the floor with a manager next to me asking if I was OK. After that it's fuzzy for a while. I know someone was making me drink water, and I know Jason suggested I take an extra metformin. I don't know if I did or not.

We got me to a doctor and discovered my blood sugar level was at 77. There is NO WAY in hell it should have been that low. For it to be that low after I'd eaten that much I should have been DEAD before I ate. 50 is unconscious. Standard fasting for a healthy person is around 100. you eat, it goes up. There's no real question - that's why I passed out. I was probably floating around 55-60 when I got back from work.

We also weighed me - 262.

Doctors instructions were simple. Stay away from carbs. Quit taking the metformin. Come in the next day for testing.

For dinner, I had grilled chicken breast. 3 small ones. and a bit of mozzerella.

Wednesday.
Got up and went to the doctor. did fasting blood sugar. did some other tests. drank this orange glucose stuff. very nasty. waited an hour. at 30 minutes I felt awful. Sick, dizzy, woozy. at an hour, I felt great. wanted to bounce around and do things. At the hour she pulled blood and sent me home.

Breakfast: 2 sausage patties. 2 eggs.

Lunch: 3 pieces of ham grilled with mozzerella.

Mid-afternoon: dizzy. sick. had 3 more pieces of ham. this time with cheddar.

Dinner: 1 piece of Steak.

10pm: hungry. had some nuts.

Thursday
made a scramble. 2 eggs, 1/2 piece of ham, 1/4 piece of steak.
went to the dr for results. fasting blood sugar was 93 - perfectly fine. an hour later it was 147. also perfectly fine. did an ekg and some blood pressure tests - all fine.
pulled blood for insulin test. Have to make appt w/ diabetic specialist. something called an endocrologist? appt should be in about a month.
In the meantime, directions are: avoid metformin. go low carb. approx 60carbs/day. rough estimate.

Lunch: 1 piece of Papa Murphy's deLite meat pizza (1/8th of pizza) = 16carbs, 95cal
