Hungry.

Though not shout worthy about it.  A minor headache is forming, but that may have more to do with getting out in the morning heat, and even the little bit of work.  It's such a minor pain that it is only being mentioned as it might be related to hunger... or not.  Time will tell.  I has been, I would say, right around 26 hours since last I ate.  I'm putting my last meal at 9:00 yesterday morning.  The goal is to test blood sugar at the 24 hour (done, giver or take), the 30, and maybe the 36 hour marks.  Looking for a drop in baseline.

I am not sure how much the diabetes, heart, and anything else, might be interconnected.  The bad heart was first, by a long shot.  But as time goes, I think the two have morphed into something all their own.  Connections have been made so that they either make each other worse or potentially get better together.  It sure seems that way, anyway.  Especially since they like to say those diseases have no symptoms, give or take.  They do, it's just that they move in so slowly, usually, that they aren't noticed.  I noticed, at least in the beginning, because my heart got so bad so fast.  I thought I was dying, because I was.  Or, at least, I had, pretty much, died.

I'll test blood sugar at 15:00 and then at 21:00.  I will eat at the 21:00 mark, if lightly.  I am thinking to see how much rice and butter would equate to about 500 calories.  It's not so much of a calorie count thing, and 500 calories might not be enough.  However, one of the options is to fast partially.  Now, I have fasted, having hit the 24 hour mark.  But fasting is a multivaried thing, that can be run for days.  I haven't decided which way to go with it.  It will depend as much on what I can do as anything else.  And other health concerns.  I'll be looking for my blood pressure cup.  I should track that as well.

One of the methods is partial fasting, where one day is normal food, one days is 500 calories (or some amount appropriate to size, to some degree).  I may attempt a full fast with a partial in between another fast, then off for a few days.  If, even then, the goal would be to eat all of my calories in a small window of time, potentially one single meal a day.  There is much to be ironed out.  How many calories should I eat?  Being overweight, do I really want to eat even static calories?  Or do I want to eat less even then, perhaps calories fitting for the weight desired?  I am not sure.  Pushing too hard usually ends in fail, could go worse.  People die doing stupid things, and not always how it would seem.

I did check about tea.  I looked into sugar replacements.  Tea seems fine.  Despite the theory that tea introduces too much caffeine, thus dehydrates, that is probably a fiction.  With regular sugar, then I would agree.  Without it?  Not so much.  As to the various sugar replacements, I think I will just have to figure out which works best for my system over time.  I simply can't seem to find a source which has reviewed these products in relation to type 2 diabetes.  Though, with google and everyone else on someone's hook, hiding the data, or changing it for a payoff, it doesn't surprise me that information has become hard to find.  Working with the Chinese has improved googles ability to censor.  I suppose that was half of what they were seeking in the exchange... a defenseless population, with it's government fully on their side, with whom to practice information psy-ops, misinformation, and the rest.

Still, I can do the testing myself, over time.  Tea, like water, is a bit much, on it's own, over time.  I need a little something to add in... more often than not sometimes.  Though sometimes plain is grand.  Bleh.

Laundry has begun going through the shoot.  I need to wash some dress clothes.  Several things coming up, I hope.  Another shower today, just because.  But that means a bunch of dishes need... mostly rinsed, dried, and put up, I believe.  Bleh.  So much, a bit tired, extra things.  I'll know, before long, if fasting actually does improve energy levels.  Not sure I believe.  Belief is not necessary to explore.  Actually, the lack of belief has lead me to more exploration than belief, faith, surety.  It was the lack of any faith, at the time God called, that... nailed that down.  And, what little I have learned of science... mistakes taught me much more than any book, trained skill or technique, or even grand serendipity.  Often I was sure of what became the mistake.  So...  I'll let it fly, for a while, and then some.

Later.
