Healthcare Update

As many of you know, I went to see my NEW doctor (actually, a nurse practioner) on March 16.

She got me back on my blood pressure meds, did some blood work, and called me in prescriptions for cholesterol and diabetes.

The first few 4 or 5 days were HELL!  I felt like crap - body adjusting to these meds.  And I STILL have my up and down days, but I think I'm slowly getting acclimated to this new regiment.

Yesterday was a particularly awful day....treated myself to a plain biscuit from McD's (after getting Merle's egg biscuit and Jackie's BEC biscuit) with 2 over easy eggs and ONE strip of bacon....AND that damned coffee that tastes like chocolate that I still have to add chocolate flavored creamer and and a bit of sugar to.....and my blood sugar SPIKED!  I felt like shit.

After 10+ days of watching sugar intake, carbs, fats, etc. I guess I wasn't ready for the SHOCK!

So, I HAVE to cut out the sweetened coffee drinks because I HATE plain, black coffee.  And no more biscuits.

I check my "sugar" regularly", and it runs from 80 - 120, depending on meals and the time of day.  So, I HOPE I'm headed in the right direction.

Oh........and I've lost over 10 pounds in 11 days.
