I don't want to be the whiny, sickly kid, but can I just wonder aloud on the internet? What I am wondering is why my blood sugar is so freaking uncooperative. You'd think with the low-carb diet that my blood sugar would be great. It always was when I went on Atkins. Nope. My fasting blood sugar was 115 on one meter and 99 on the other. Why the huge difference in meters, I don't know, but both are really quite terrible.
I've lost 3 pounds as of two weeks ago. Whoop(detect the sarcasm?). Mom says I need to eat more. Dad says I need to eat less. I think I'm eating just right. This is like a medical version of the three bears.
For today, I'm going to be much stricter with the kind of carbs I eat. I ate a lot of popcorn yesterday. This just feels so unfair. It's not like I'm eating tubs of ice cream in between meals of cookies. I'm going to start keeping track of what I eat. This is going to be incredibly boring.
Also, my blood pressure is not being very nice. It's all over the place in the morning. I always feel bad in the mornings, and a lot of times the whole day. My heart beats really fast and I'm out of breath. My chest started to hurt this morning. I don't want to be whiny, but if I can' complain here, I have to do it to the rest of the world. I'm sparing the rest of the world.
Someone said that I need to go to a pulmonary doctor. I'd like to get my blood sugar issues straightened out first. I know that I'm very likely(but not officially diagnosed) a hypoglycemic. Maybe I haven't been eating in intervals like I should. I'll try to balance what I eat and how much I eat of as well as how often.
Know that you spared the rest of the world a lot of whining. Go in peace.
Ok - I am glad you wrote this blog. I've been semi monitoring my carbs, thinking about doing this Atkins induction thing. All I can say is: IMPOSSIBLE! OK, not really, but I realize I eat a load of carbs!!!
ReplyDeleteOne slice of my double fiber bread plus 3 cups of coffee with one Splenda each = the daily allowance for carbs on induction. And if I add popcorn, I've eaten the limit for OWL. HUH? How can that be? Where are my fruits and veggies? And meat and cheese?
I hate that you are feeling bad. Maybe the blood sugar and low lung function are related somehow, so maybe you should see a pulmonary doctor.
I eat popcorn everyday. And you may whine on the internet at any time. Love you.
