So I got the blood work done this morning, now I am just awaiting the results.  I will probably get an e-mail later today, or tomorrow morning from my educator, but I will get the actual paperwork and full results when I go to see her next week.  But, there wasn’t much work done this time.  It was just A1C and microalbumin.  It was a non-fasting, but I didn’t read that until this morning, so of course I fasted for the testing.  My sugar was 210 when I woke up, so I tried to correct it before the test, so I’m curious to see how much it dropped in about 30-45 minutes, not much I’m sure.

However, right afterwards I ate breakfast because I was starving, and I took too much insulin because at about 10:30, I tested at 54.  I ate a bunch of candy quickly and even drank a half of cup of regular sode (eww disgusting, more on this later).  I tested about an hour later and I was only up to about 110.  So, my sugar must have been low and still had acting insulin for it to only correct that little for the amount of sugar that I ate!

Now, back to the regular sode thing.  I have been drinking diet soda even before I was diabetic.  It was all that my mother bought when I was in high school.  I started out drinking diet Dr. Pepper because that was the only one that I couldn’t tell a difference in, then went to diet Barq’s root beer.  I could not do diet coke or pepsi, because I could definitely tell the difference and didn’t like it.  I then started drinking diet pepsi cans, not bottle because that was gross, but cans and then I slowly started drinking diet everything.  Then when I became diabetic, it was normal for me to be drinking all diet drinks, because that’s all I did anyway.

Everyone have a great day!
