A little video on the making of this video

Thanks Andrew R

He told me to test twice daily but I can see no reason to do it after I’ve eaten.  I understand an early morning test after I haven’t eaten since the night before.  I can get consistent results that can be compared to see how I’m progressing.  I understand the big thing is your A1C test that indicates your 3 month average.   So, I’ve just been testing every morning before I eat anything.  My morning sugar levels have been between 117 and 150 this week.  The one time I checked it about an hour or two after I ate dinner it was 198.  Doing the test is easy once I figured out the massive instruction sheet that came with the device.  I thought my finger would get sore from the little pricks but you can hardly feel it.

From what I understand the ideal blood sugar level is under 100.

I know I need to eat better and exercise.  I’m not going to give up all the things I like but I had gone off the healthy food wagon a while back.  This week I’ve done really good on eating.  I’m still going to splurge every now and then with pizza and foods I enjoy but I’ll try to eat smaller portions and make better choices. Giving up my “ice cream every night” hasn’t been too bad so far.  I’ve also done some walking in the evening, but not nearly enough.  I need to get out of this office chair a little more and move around a little.

A Mexican doctor was rushing to the hospital with a human heart needed for transplant when he tripped and dropped the heart in the street. However he was able to take the heart and successfully transplant it into the patient, earning him the nickname…
