Almost time to go back home for my birthday and my brother’s wedding.  I will most likely not be blogging while I am up there.  I usually don’t have any time to sit down at the computer to even check my mail, because I am so busy visiting all my friends and family.

This visit is going to be even busier for the fact that I have my birthday, which is my nieces also, the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and then Eagles game on Sunday night.  I also have the worst headache I have ever experienced in my life, which I hope is not leading to something else, because that would just suck.

I have been checking my sugars more often today because of the headache, 6 times so far today, which is usually what I do in two days, even though I should be testing this often everyday!  I thought the headache would have went away AFTER all the donation collecting I have been doing the past couple of weeks for the ADA walk this past Saturday.  And the Eagles even won yesterday, so I don’t know what is causing the headache.

Speaking of the Eagles, yesterday before I went into the sports bar to watch the game, I tested my sugar and it read 545!!!!!  My girlfriend saw it and was very concerned and said we weren’t going to the game if that was my blood sugar.  I knew it couldn’t be right, I didn’t feel that high, so I tested again, 505!  Theres no way I kept saying, also nothing stops me from watching an Eagles game.  I pulled out the control solution, and that read well into the 400’s.

I then remembered that I left the strips in the car all day yesterday, and the heat must have affected the strips or the meter and the reading was way off.  Luckily, everything is back to normal now, and the blood sugars were back to normal readings after the game.
