Guess it’s official

January 14, 2010 · 3 comments

Now that I’ve been assigned my Blood Sugar Meter and Secret Decoder Unit, I guess I’m officially a Type 2 diabetic.

Which is, you know, awesome.

Excuse me a moment.

*snikt*

Current glucose reading, 2 hours after breakfast: 108 mg/dL. Was 128 upon waking this morning; 123 just before breakfast.

And now I’m hungry. Time to eat.

Best of luck with managing and conquering the diabetes beast!

Thanks for stopping by, and for the kind wishes! Good luck to you, too.
