Water works for me, it might seem bizzare, but then Doctors have told me my body is strange anywayIm not of this earth! lol
My last appointment scheduled for a Tuesday at the start of this month was cancelled. It had already been moved from November to February, had bloods done the week before and had booked time off work. Appointment was for early p.m. Wife received a call at home at 10.30 to tell me appointment had been cancelled. Luckily she managed to get message to me.Have just returned home from my local hospital where I had an appointment at the Endocrine Centre. I walked in and knew something was up straight away because the waiting room was empty and there was no receptionist on duty.
So I went into the inner sanctum and wandered the hallways which were eerily quiet and eventually found a DSN I'd met before, who in turn found a clerical person to come and tell me that the clinic had been cancelled and she apologised for not telling me and not sending out a new appointment blah blah blah.
Now I'm a reasonable chap, most of the time and I do understand that mistakes get made, BUT I'd driven 30 miles from work to the hospital and had to grovel for time off (slight exaggeration) AND this is the second time it's happened.
So this probably hasn't done my glucose levels any favours if you know what I mean.
Hmm I hope its not a honeymoon phase because atm im happy with my low carb diet and my treats, and if honeymoon phase ends then im going to start panicing because I don't know what else to do to stay away from high BGL except starve to the point i will just end up eating my insulinHmmmm, you need to stay hydrated and as Jaylee has said water will wash a bit of excess sugar out of your system, hence why we are thirsty when we are diagnosed, its your body trying to get rid of the excess sugar. As for reducing your BGs, it is highly doubtful. I would put that down to honeymoon period. BUT carry on drinking water

I'm kind of pleased most people at church were distracted this evening (by some very sad news about the sudden, but not totally unexpected, death of one of our congregation) because I was 3.2 15 minutes before I was due to start playing the organ and therefore necking down Dextro tablets very rapidly at a point when some of the more traditional elderly members of my congregation, who are unaware of my insulin-dependent status, would've been outraged at me Eating Sweets In Church on Ash Wednesday!! Nor did they notice the munching of a Nakd bar during the 1st reading to make sure I stayed above 5.
I'm sure organ playing needs the 5 to drive rule!
I'm also just about to go and check on the damage caused by said Dextro tablets and Nakd bar.
