That's different.

Though maybe the sugar replacement is, if better than the others tested so far, still a problem?  I only drink tea, with the replacement, during non-eating times.  As I wrote my blood sugar, right before eating, was 269.  An hour or so after eating at is down to 237.  Hmm?  Mostly fats and protein, other than some flouring of the skirt steaks.  I plan on a second meal, of the final steak and a grapefruit.  Perhaps sometime this hour.  I wasn't timing the blood test well this last time... might be nearly two hours after the first meal, or more like forty five minutes.  I just wasn't paying attention.  I just... I have never seen my blood sugar fall after a meal.  Odd.  Very odd, to me.

Anyway, this means I need to find other options regarding sweetening the tea.  There are three more choices I know of offhand.  There might be a few others even then.  If none of it is perfect, I may simply have to make do, compromise on amounts, and make other changes.  A bit frustrating.  But sugar free does not always mean anything like what it might seem to mean.  Oh... I have one, already in-house, that I will be trying tomorrow.  Even though I really want to get in to town, for a number of things, I probably don't have to go for a bit.  Not that I won't, if the opportunity presents itself.  Just to get out, though there is more.

There is a strange pain, or set of them, I am getting.  My collar bones are aching.  Very strange.  Not a concern.  Kidneys, liver, other gullet organs, sure... if it's really bad.  But bones I don't worry about.  Only a driver for inquisition.  I am suspecting, that as I lose weight, and things adjust and fall or shift or move that bones, odd ones like in there that are key somehow in spite of being minor, will hurt.  Don't know, time will tell.

Later.
