Today was a very strange day.

I didn't do anything, really, that was different than normal.  I re-filled the 5 gallon bucket with gravel for Josh, did my twister and marched 200 steps for exercise today.  I had my lunch around 2, then started feeling kinda odd a little after 3.  Finally, I checked my sugar a little after 4 and it was 74.  I ate 6 jelly beans (1 of each color).  I checked my sugar again at 4:30, it was 68.  I ate 6 more jelly beans. At 5:15, I checked again.  64.  I ate a nut bar.  I checked again at 5:45, 68.  I ate a banana.  I just don't get it.  What is going on - why?  Why is it staying down?  Why aren't these snacks bringing it up? I had my TOPS meeting tonight, so I took my shower and went to my meeting.  I checked my sugar when I got to the meeting, just before 7.  64.  I ate a nut bar that I carry in my purse. (Luckily!)  I checked again when I got home and made my supper (a big chef-type salad, with ham, turkey, bacon bits,cheese, and lots of dressing). 73.

I was very generous with my portions of meat, cheese, and the dressing because of this ongoing problem, and felt good that I had taken care of it.  Well, I was WRONG!!  I started feeling peckish again, so I checked my sugar again around 10. 41.  FORTY-ONE!!!!  NO WAY!!!!  Something is definitely not right.  I had even changed the lancet in my meter (I don't always - I figure it's always my blood, why bother?  yeah, yeah)  and am starting to think my meter has gone to the big meter heaven.  So --  I checked Ron's blood!!  Yep, I poked him.  He didn't like it, but he didn't like what was happening to me, either.  His number was 93.  So the meter is okay.  Hmmmmmm.  I checked mine again right away.  36 now.  Damn.

I ate a banana.  Checked again at 10:30.  68.  Well, it's coming back up.  That's good, but it's still not up enough.  Still not right. Scavenged the cabinets and found a pack of PopTarts.  Frosted Peanut Butter.  So I ate them, even though a serving is only 1 of the pastries.  But I gotta do something!  So, I got me a glass of milk and enjoyed my PopTarts.  Checked again at 11.  Yay!!  108.  A decent number!!  Finally - I am so relieved.

A very strange afternoon and evening.  Worrisome.
