Hi folks,
Was just wondering about something. I have varicose veins, a few spidery ones which don't matter, and a few deeper ones... Those deeper, bigger ones hurt every now and again, get inflamed or something. They hadn't for quite a while though. But... A week ago our cat was put to sleep. We don't have kids, we had cats, and now both Mouse and Night are gone. And losing Night was rough: it's a very empty flat now, and I'm hurting a little too much to get started on a new cat any time soon. So anyway, I fell off the wagon, and while the meals were still keto, it was in between the meals that I kind of, sort of.... Demolished my husband's stash of chocolate. I decimated it, basically. My bloodsugars still remained within the normal range, surprisingly enough, but they were about 1.0 to 1.5 mmol/l higher than I'm used to. Add the flu-jab and a lot of sleepless nights to that, well, you get the idea. And now one of those varicose veins is acting up. And another one close to it is getting a little angry too. Auch. Just wondering... Did I do that to myself with the chocolate binges? Or is it just a coincidence? Dr. Google tells me the usual about high bloodsugars damaging veins, which is old news, but it wasn't that high. Certainly never over 8,0, always well below that. So... Just hope that being back on the wagon'll fix the inflammation soon. Hope is quite welcome!
Thanks, people,
Jo
