Blood sugar problems.

.

.

I have eaten three times.  I have been careful with insulin dosing.  It doesn't seem to matter.  Blood sugar was 100 last time I checked.  Which was fine, until it began diving off a cliff again.  I ate several things, to keep it from dropping.  Absolutely no use, it kept falling.  

I am not feeling well.  I surrendered and took a few sugar tabs.  Even that isn't helping all that much.  I took a whole roll of them, in the end, and still feel rough.  Dizziness, slight nausea, the sweats... you... know the routine.  I have eaten, and several times, and good food.  More roast pork, kefir, and other such.

What I haven't been consuming is sweetened tea.  I have been going with kefir and various sorts of perrier.  I may have to really cut my insulin, and stick with perrier.  I'd... much rather quit insulin, if possible.  Or definitely cut it.  I guess I didn't realize how much of an impact the artificial sweetener had.  Well, that and... I didn't think I had much choice.  Maybe I do.

The stupid thing is this.  Insulin is a LOT more expensive than perrier.  I usually get the water for less than a dollar a bottle.  If I drink, say, three a day?  Ninety bucks.  Whereas insulin is, probably, what... $700 a month? $1,600?  More?  But, since I am not paying for insulin, the bottled water is nearly out of my range.

Yes, I have tried tap, I have tried r.o. water.  Those aren't the same.  I can't drink those as well.  I have been seeking something, aside from tea, I can drink a bit more of... as water pills dry me out something awful.  This stuff works... or for now.  This, and kefir, seem to be able, combined, to replace tea.  Not sure I can afford it though.  Crazy.

Anyway.  I don't think I can make it for blood tests today.  Absolutely shot.  I can't believe this.  I'm not sure... where to go from here.  Just stop taking insulin?  I can't lower it that much more.  It wouldn't be significant.  Very strange.  I'll... keep at it.  But, for now, to find something else to eat.  A very odd day.  Later.  Or good night.  I may end up crashing.  No choice.
