Fasting BG 2017

[rocky]

84 before meals yesterday and a 101 today morning fasting.

Don't know where that came from. I have a feeling some infection is creeping in. Hope I'm wrong. I have a busy week ahead.

[Tamagno]

131 this morning.

Bigskygal, another benefit of your move would be having family around as you get older. It's a real problem if you're sick (God, forbid) and haven't anyone to help out.

Well, our brief spell of warmer weather has fled over night and it appears we're back to winter. I need to make the trip to Costco today, but find myself chilly and lazy this morning so may just wait and stay home near the fire today.

88 this morning.  We aren't having any of the winds that are beating up Southern California closer to the coast.  The wildfires continue with almost no containment and the high winds are now supposed to continue through Saturday and maybe even Sunday.  Winds with gusts up to 75-80 MPH makes it almost impossible to contain a fire.  Thousands of people are under mandatory evacuation. 
Barbara, it is hard to change doctors, even when you are not too happy with the one you are seeing.  You wonder if it is a "out of the frying pan, into the fire" situation.  It took me a while to finally change but I am really glad I did.

104 this morning.  We had a dusting of snow last night so it sort of looks white this morning.  It is only 20 deg F also, and windy.  I am definitely not looking for a reason to do errands today. 

I cannot imagine living with the threat of a wildfire, it must be extremely stressful.

Rocky, hope you are not getting sick.

Barbara, my head just exploded at what your doctor said to you, good grief.

I'm jealous Tamagno, sitting by a fire sounds divine.

Heading up to the mountains tomorrow, so will get to do some of the same this weekend, yay.

I hope she stays in our area for a long time.  Never thought I would have such a kind ear doctor. 

Years ago we found an internist up at the MU Clinics and she was so good! So kind and intuitive too - she got on especially well with DH and figured out a few of his worst issues. We asked if she'd be staying and she said yes. Unfortunately, her DH was a cardiologist at the Clinics, and he decided to move, so our dreams were shot down anyhow.

Saw the pictures on the news. It was pretty scary and the devastation was obvious. The fires can be seen by the International Space Station 400 kms up in the sky.

124 fasting.

84 (4.65) this cloudy morning, 89 (4.93)
at bedtime last night.

Tamagno, yes, being so close to family would be wonderful. But I am sort of a hermit so it might also be too much. But family is a big factor in the idea of a move back.

auntiekris, yes I was appalled at that statement. When I told my friend (his nurse) she wasn't surprised at the comment. With all the male in power/female not, going on today, I just have to get away from this guy. My next pcp will be female.

Such close proximity to family, even though we adore our kids, would be disastrous for us and for the relationships. All that socializing would have a horrible effect - especially on DH  who has had social anxiety since childhood.

He has taught himself to interact with others, but it is a strain, and he needs time to get psyched up for it, and more time to get unwound afterward. We don't even go to church, because it became such an ordeal, and we decided that worship was not meant to be that hard, so we don't go anymore. The worship itself was fine, but all the social activity that came with it was so hard.

Rocky, hope you are not getting sick.

Unfortunately, I've got a bad throat with the cold and flu.

114 this morning.

[Tamagno]

114 this morning.

Well, I made the trek to Costco yesterday which is close enough to New York City to be over run with hurried, angry people. Talk about cause for social anxiety! Even though I'm aware of being slow and, um, somewhat sickly, some woman still managed to ram me with her cart. Good grief! I'm staying home today...

some woman still managed to ram me with her cart.

Hope it was just a harmless bump.

87 this morning.  Wildfires continue to be the story here with two more breaking out yesterday.  The high winds and humidity around 5-6% make it extremely difficult to get the upper hand on them.  We have fires now from Ventura to San Diego which is most of Southern California between the ocean and the mountains.  Sadly a fire that started yesterday destroyed a training facility for thoroughbred horses and while they were able to save some, about 12 horses perished. 
It's going to be rough through the weekend.
Tamagno, this time of year going to Costco is something I avoid like the plague.  I can usually deal with the crowds but not near Christmas.
Rocky, bummer, get well soon.

I forgot, we were talking about Snow Geese the other day and here is an example of what most of our parks, soccer fields, etc. look like right now.  This is only about 1/4 of the Snow geese in this small park when I took the picture.

[auntiekris]

126 this morning after a low of 46 and now at 217.  I'm starting to kinda get used to the lows and that is verrrry bad.  But, yesterday I remained under 200 so I feel I just need to keep up with the LCHF way and I'll get there.  I may need to ask to go off the current  partially fast acting insulin and back to Lantus.

Sorry to hear that Rocky, hope you feel better soon!

Ugh, the fires.  Heartbreaking.
