Another eight hour sleep.
I think I'm noticing a pattern. After searching for info online I think my stubborn blood glucose reading has something to do with my stubborn bowel movements. When I have regular complete bowel movements the blood glucose tends to stay within range. When I'm backed up, (constipated) which describes this week, the blood gluucose stays above range. My next clinic appointment with Dr. Obi is February 5th, at which I'll discuss this with him.
Update on previous statement. Ive been constipated since last Monday. I had to rush to the bathroom about midnight Saturday for an epic dump that finally cleared my bowels and I think was a contributing factor to the blood glucose reading of 110 on Sunday morning. Starting Monday morning I was backed up again and the blood glucose reading made a steady rise until reaching 133 this morning. After several failed attempts to get thngs moving again I relyed on the method whereby I straddle the toilet grab the towel bar, arch my back, and well, whoosh a1l over the toilet and floor. soaking the towels in as mkeshift diaper bucket and making a few trips to the washer. On the last trip back to the bathroom to finish wiping up I tripped over my left foot and fell to the floor face first. It took nearly an hour to get off the floor. All this happened an hour or so ago. I still have discomfort in mmy back, but can tske a deep breath now without pain. For the first hour or so it hurt like hell to do that. I didn't black out when hitting the floor (carpetted) nor did I experience any dizziness, so I'll not add to the usual confligration at the emergency room. Emergency rooms are just that. If one isn't bleeding, have a broken bone, or in imminent danger of dying, get out of the way of people who are. I will bring this up with Dr. Obi at my next appointment.
