Glucose level oddities anyone?

[Guest guest]

Hi All.

Another question.

Don't worry, I'll ask my internist before I cease the monitoring,

but... I'm wondering whether it is worth it to test my glucose

levels.

I started doing so after my internist recommended a glucose

monitoring kit based upon a suggestion in a sister forum.

Sure enough, a day or two after starting the monitoring, I had a

super low reading. Problem is, it's happened again sporadically, but

never seem to be able to tell by how I feel. Also, the silly thing

doesn't go up when I ingest sugar. In fact, I even saw it go down a

couple of points once (I'm sure statistically insignificant - but odd

nonetheless).

Anyway, I figure it's just more of how the autonomic system is messed

up inside me - and effecting blood sugar as well as blood pressure.

Must admit though, monitoring seems useless, as it doesn't seem to

correlate at all with how I'm feeling - or food ingested (or lack

thereof), nor does it change in a predictable manner with food

ingested. So... ???

Catch you all later.

Past my bedtime - now anyway - tonight :-)

And yes Bill, whenever possible, I do take a siesta now - and I do

just go to sleep (often) when I perceive the need. In fact, was

feeling quite wired a very short time ago - but fatigued now and

going to bed. (By the way, my clock is wrong, so if posts are

labeled by the clocks of the sender - then my posting time is wrong

Adios! Pablo
