Hopefully we’ll settle into more of a routine; The computer seems to be working better than before (touch wood). I (meaning me by myself) installed Firefox, why didn’t we use it before?
A couple of weeks ago I went to the Doctors for my three monthly check up and I was congratulated all round for my excellent results. He even drew me a picture to demonstrate why I’ve got a clicky thumb. He’s really pleased that I control my blood sugar levels with diet, though I can’t say that I make an enormous effort. He forgot to tell me I need to lose some weight.
Two evenings ago we went for our usual evening stroll to the beach and on the way back I started to feel very strange indeed. I felt like I couldn’t walk straight and that I wasn’t really there, I was sweating quite a bit too which I put down to hot flash. When I got home I tested my sugar level and it was really low 58 mg/dL (or 3.19 mmol/L) , no wonder I felt weird. I ate a banana and a small piece of cheese and after 20 minutes I was up to 114mg/dL (or 6.27 mmol/L). Needless to say I took some sugar cubes to bed with me just in case. I had spaghetti bolognaise to eat that evening which is not out of the ordinary and usually gives a normal reading. Perhaps it’s my age?

congratulations on excellent results from your doc! and yay for firefox! you'll love it. let me know if you have questions or problems with it. i'm a total firefox freak.
take care of yourself, anji.
That's pretty scary when the blood sugar plummets like that. My father-in-law has been an insulin-dependent diabetic for nearing 50 years now and I've seen him 'crash' a few times.
How lovely that you have a beach to walk to in the evenings...and so romantic :)
Kimberley: Thanks and thanks, for the moment Firefox is going relly well.
Leslie: We have to be careful to appreciate the beach, we know that we are very lucky. I seem to be back to normal now, if it happens again I'll go for a check up.
