The plan did not work.

Things to do this morning.  I said I would.  And... I will.  Just not today.

I needed to fast.  I had a meal at about 01:30, just kefir.  Blood sugar, fasting, was 224.  So, with the first and last meal for a while, it was proposed, I took insulin.  The plan was to not eat again until later in the day.  After some tests.  At about 04:30, or so, however, something felt wrong.

Yes, you may have guessed it.  A blood sugar dip.  It wasn't terrible, when I tested it.  But at 86 it was slightly low.  That wasn't the real problem.  The real problem was that it was still falling, and picking up speed on the way down.  This... wasn't going to work.  I had to eat, and have carb tabs.  No real choice.  So... no testing today.

I will try again tomorrow.  This time more carefully.  More then just kefir to eat, and a slightly lower dose of insulin.  The stupid thing is that I have been using similar dosing and similar consumption for the last three days... to very different results.  I'll get it sorted.

As well, I pretty much fell down on all other plans.  Blood sugar drops are terrible things.  They steal energy, strength, focus, and else.  I am in recovery now, but not well enough to do much.  I am still hoping for a shower, after dishes.  I will wash dishes, but not do more.  Set them aside, take a shower, set them to a rinse, and hope I can yet clear and clean the counters.  Perhaps dishes will be completed yet today.  Or not.

It is dark, raining, outside.  Hmm.  I may actually need to take a nap.  That really wipes me out.  And a short nap shouldn't be a great problem.  I think I can keep it to a nap.  I'll feed the girls, first, again.  And probably eat something myself, as well.  Tricky how blood sugar can work.  I do my best, it just doesn't always matter.

Later.
