And we still might, depending on things, although it will put us in late.
I’ve not been good to me while up here this weekend. It’s not that I’ve ate a thing or two I shouldn’t have had – every meal has been something I shouldn’t have done. Cokes galore. Doughnuts. Bad bad bad.
We were packing – we are packed, tbh – and taking everything to the mud room so I could load the car and I started feeling icky. Not nauseous, just dizzy and woozy and extremely sleepy. It was 11 AM, I should NOT be feeling sleepy! My blood sugar was high this morning and mom made a typical southern, hearty breakfast. I checked my blood sugar again.
486.
Mom wanted me to go to the emergency room. I probably should have. I insisted on a bottle of water and just let me lay down. An hour later, my meter registered me at 385, her brand new meter registered me at 345. I’ll take HER meter. I might need a new meter. I”ve been using this one for 4 years. Her meter registered me at 273 15 minutes ago.
This is scary. I’ve got to get a hold and in control. If it means I bring a case of water and my own salads from now on, I will. One of the actor’s from Animal House died this past weekend – 62, complications from diabetes.
Complications from Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes. How many wake up calls do I need before I get it? I’m not invincible.
Right now I”m eating a Wendy’s salad. The cheese is bleh.

Please look after yourself!!!
I’m trying. Apparently, not hard enough, tho..
I second that!
Jeepers, Zee, I just converted your numbers into the units we use in the UK. If your mum also has a meter I guess she also has diabetes. Can you work with her to ban things like Coke and doughnuts from the house? They can’t be doing her any good either… 😳
She does. Hers is under control however. Stays in the 90’s. She thinks it’s horrid if it’s over 100.
I can’t like this. Ditch the cokes forever! Imho you need someone to hold you accountable and that’s not me or Michael. I do not want to lose one of my best friends.
Coke is evil, I know. We try NOT to keep it in our house.
Scary stuff , Zee!
very. My cousin, who has it and is a nurse, said I should have gone to the hospital.
Giiiirrrrllllllllll!!!!
I’m gonna come put you over my knee…
Send Sir Guy…
lmao
Yikes! Diet Coke instead maybe? Take care of yourself.
HATE diet coke. hate hate hate Can barely tolerate Dr. Doctor Pepper or Diet Sprite.
Too bad. I like Diet Coke, but especially Cherry Diet Coke. And I like Diet Ginger Ale too.
Diet Ginger Ale… I’ve had that and liked it…. hmmmmmm
I worry about you.,cut the crap and just say no way.I need you around to write those wonderful stories..Please take care..The world needs a Zee fix..Love you friend..
Is this a hint?
I will be in Georgia next month and you don’t want me setting you straight. 😏😏 My mom has diabetes and I just found out she is on this new medication because she now has kidney damage. Please take care of yourself.
What did they put her on? We’re leaving NE Georgia within the hour and going home to the coast.
that’s scary hon… do you have Coke zero there? must have, it’s not nearly as bad and you could get used to it, if not.. water. You need to be around for all of us many more years 🙂 Maybe just trying to make your own stuff at weekends and tupper ware it and take to work? It sort of creates a good routine and is a good cost saver too 🙂
I do very well at work because I take lunch and I can’t really go anywhere. Our parking deck is locked and it takes an act of God to get it unlocked. I’m on summer break so trying to stay on it is worse. I HATE diet drinks, so I stick to water, except yeah, I’m addicted to the sugar in Coke.
Delurking again to say I really understand how difficult this must be for you. I’ve just eaten chocolate when I *know* I’ll suffer for it later with heartburn all night.
I’ve weaned myself off Coke though by drinking fizzy water with a dash of fruit juice. Don’t miss it at all. Now if I could only do something about the chocolate. Maybe Sir Guy could help with that.
I have Weight Watchers Chocolate Smoothies. I make mine with 2% milk and mix it in the blender. It’s all frothy and chocolate and that fixes my fix!
I might have to reween myself off cokes. I was off and doing well and the last 2 weeks, I’m right back at it. Bleh.
With everyone here: take care!!
