Fear.

Taking my final blood sugar reading... I just knew I blew it.  The last fatted tea, and chocolate cake with so many extra carbs?  No way it would be good.  I decided against taking it at the hour mark.  But over two hours and it would be peak or falling.  It usually, if high carbs were consumed or when my readings are over 200... especially both, peaks between one and two hours.  I wanted to see the worst, so at one and three quarters hour I tested.

It was 213.  Couldn't think whether that was good or evil.  So focused on it being bad I was in a fog.  Then, no!  It had only increased by two points from my lowest in nearly the week I've been testing.  Heck yeah.  Must not have been the amount or type of carbs which cause problems.  Wild.

Now nothing but unsweetened tea or water until 18:00 or later.  Some suggest there is nothing special about sixteen or more hours fasting.  For my money anything less is a waste of time.  I don't see results.  Three days is the best for lowering blood sugars, but is a bit too tight for every week.  Once to three times a month, if I've been truly running keto.  Another week before I can, will, try.  Yeah.

Focus is returning.  I think work is getting a lot closer.  I'm still lagging... but almost going.  It is the difference between life and death.  I'll check bp.  Bleh, 155/109 on the gooder arm.  I've been on meds, so... it's the watching that finishes bringing it down.  It's partially psychosomatic.  If I can, I'll add testing back in.  Gah.

Later, or good night.
