My next A1C visit is not for another month and a half, but I actually feel pretty confident about this one now. Other then all the highs in the morning, there haven’t been too many during the day, so I think I will hit my record low, which shouldn’t be too hard to beat because I think the record low is right around 7.3, nothing to brag about.  I am still working that morning low, but man is it taking forever to figure out.  I don’t have good sleep patterns, so it is tough to test at 3 a.m., because some nights I’m not going to bed until then, so I probably ate something after midnight, then some nights I fall asleep earlier and haven’t eaten.  So, everything varies way too much.

This weekend I am going back out to look at some more new potential places to live.  Last week I went looking for individual home, but this week I am looking at more townhouses, condos and apartment complexes.  I am going with my actual roomate this weekend instead of just my girlfriend (who is my roomate’s sister), weird huh?  He’s not really ready to sign into a lease, but I know we need to soon because our move in date is mid-August, and these nice places will be rented out right away.

Well, no fun plans for me this weekend, although my girlfriend may be getting a new tattoo, so I guess that makes it exciting for me also!  What are all of your feelings on diabetics and tattoos, I have heard its not good for you, but then again I know some diabetics all tatted up!  I’m thinking about a Philadelphia Eagles tat.

Well, as some of you may have read from Friday’s post, I planned on keeping a detailed track of my blood pressure and blood glucose levels during the Eagles game on Sunday.  Unfortunately, I could not do this because the game was not on at my home, so I had to go to the sports bar to watch it.  I took along my glucometer though, so I at least tested my blood sugar, and the levels were not that bad.

However, if any of you have seen the highlights of the game you would know that with the score 28-24 with under a minute to go the Seahawks were punting to my hero Brian Westbrook, and he almost returned it all the way for a touchdown, and of course my heart was racing.  People I didn’t know were pushing me and grabbing me, but they were Eagles fans so it was perfectly fine with me (we are all family when the Eagles are playing).

Then, AJ Feeley threw another interception to end the game, seems like a repeating pattern, and my heart sank.  So without even using a blood pressure monitor, I know there were some not so great fluctuations.  My girlfriend tells me to just calm down its just a game, but I obviously don’t think like tha,t but I don’t know how else to keep my heart rates more even than what they do now during a game.  If we just won then it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

And at this time of the year, the stress does not stop.  My first final is this Sunday December 9th, and my last one is on the 13th.  Nothing but studying and stressing out from now until then.  I could really use that  remote controller from the movie “Click” that way I can just pause life and then study with no disruptions at all.
