Low Blood Sugar vs. Sportsmanship

Not 61, not 52, not even 74: 124. Just a bad mood.

Bubs flop out on floor halfway through fencing tournament. Bigfoot impress self: stay calm, cool, enter emergency mode. Low blood sugar! Test. Bubs get 124. Damn.

Bigfoot fondest wish blame bad sportsmanship on blood sugar, but it not possible this day. Fencing teacher encourage Bubs finish tournament, feel “sense of accomplishment!” Reluctantly agree.

Small people fencing fun to watch, only because when score, see cute little gauntlet fist pump and hear “yessss” through spooky hornet mask. At end, Bubs win green “Sportsmanship” ribbon. Bigfoot have hard time not laugh when Bubs cry, “I didn’t even win eighth place!” Tears streaming down red, red face.

In car, test blood sugar again: 71. That low, but not low enough explain away ferociously pissed off mood. I HATE FENCING! and YOU HATE ME, THAT’S WHY YOU MADE ME COME! and FENCING IS SO STUPID!

Bigfoot ineffectually say over and over, “No, it’ll be OK. You know I love you. Come on, it’ll be OK. Oh, honey. You know that’s not true” in allegedly soothing voice, try channel Ma Ingalls. Half Pint freak out sometimes too.

Meanwhile, Bigfoot complete 2011 insurance medical supply hoarding cycle. Most impressive: lancet tally—1,122. Probably last three years, since Bigfoot, Bigfoot spouse, and Bubs never remember advance barrel until lancet too dull penetrate calloused fingertip.

Stocked

tortellini issue

This isn't working.

Maybe not eat Mama’s HOME STYLE Cheese TORTELLINI again? Every time Bubs eat Venda Ravioli cheese tortellini, experience high blood sugar. Bigfoot realize pasta high in carbohydrate, that why give huge insulin injection. Why it not matter how much insulin give, tortellini result high blood sugar regardless?

Eat with fat (form of cheese/olive oil), protein (cheese, milk), fiber (green beans, apple). This not slow down raging Venda Ravioli tortellini sugar wave. 344 two hours postprandial.

Not a good choice after pasta? 5 carbs.

Maybe not so good idea have first Doodads of holiday season after Venda Ravioli tortellini. Bigfoot include link Doodads recipe, but not fair recommend make. This so tasty make fat/grumpy, very bad for diabetes patient.

Today Bubs have much exercise: fence, foosball, swim, football. Balance with Star Wars the Clone Wars DVD and visit Rogers Free Library. Everything balance, balance, balance. Not matter.

If blood sugar 95 5PM + 344 7PM + 176 9PM, what =A1C? Probably bad.

 

What do now

The perfect Halloween costume for 3rd-5th grade: baby powder in hair + false moustache, candy cigarette, JobLot glasses. Extra credit play I Am America-a-a song instead of saying "Trick or Treat." You're welcome!

It very icy, rainy outside. Ice rain go down neck of jacket when dash outside retrieve butternut squash. In house have fire in wood stove make people so lethargic. Dog also lethargic so not encourage people go outside for walk. Nice and cozy for while, then feel pathetic. Realize time = eleven o’clock, only achievement take turns reenact Herman Cain ad and bake date bars.

Best part of day: swim at YMCA. Pool room so warm and steamy. Boys find foam canoe—whole canoe made of pool noodle material, bright yellow and blue. Meet up with good friend and fun son. Discuss all of people imagine want hire one technical writer, one writing writer for collaborative job in progressive company with good morning snack and free Diet Coke. Barely glance over at boys in pool. When glance, they hitting each other on head with water aerobics foam dumbbells. Laughing.

Please read your email. Maybe you can rest another day.

Bigfoot not know what do high blood sugar, Dr. Doughnut away for weekend (planned, knew in advance, but Bigfoot feel lost.) Coro Nurse —one who look + sound (Waltham) like (Malden?) 30 Rock Nancy Donovan—probably not read email on Saturday. Probably also not read on Sunday. Probably hear from Dr. Doughnut Monday.

Child climb into bed with blood sugar #321. Please not gasp.

Also have one low today (#68), so not simple case of not enough insulin. This ever even out? Bigfoot keep imagine day with no high/no low, begin 100+ day streak of no high/no low. Why this not happen a mystery. It where Bigfoot choose focus all free floating anxiety, not even attend Occupy Providence, blood sugar puzzle seem like enough gritty struggle.

Bubs love swim, but not good swimmer. Afraid deep end. Not want lesson. Slow progress. Know winter exercise become issue when stay inside/not running on playground hours each day. Bubs decide willing try fencing. Bigfoot hope room for Bubs in class, hear soon no open spot because Nayatt children train for fencing related to a Peter Pan play.
