I wasn't sure it was possible. Out of all the years, and trying, even watching my food intake, my fasting blood sugar remained high. I was always suspicious there was a bad actor involved. I am thinking more so now than ever. Now that getting into the house is a bit more difficult, perhaps it just isn't happening. Well, and a few other things.
Blood sugar is 92 fasting. That is the first, and only time thus far, blood sugar has been below 100 fasting. My next record was 103 a year or three ago. If the next is 104, 106, 108(?), recently. So the trend is there. This isn't a fluke. Is 92 a bit low? Not really. anything between 80 and 100 is just fine. Now to keep it there during the day.
I won't call it cured, at all. But it... is... better. That, of course, currently, requires medicine. The hope is to eventually get off medicine. But, for now, that is the way of it. Still, gotta watch it, make sure things can work as they do. Will intermittent fasting become a problem? Can I lower the dose over time? Will I have to? How will keto work with it, in the long run?
Some say keto and intermittent will fix this. I'm not so sure. I'm honestly not convinced it will actually help lose weight, or help with the heart. I think it can help with thinking, but thinking doesn't get me to work. Even when thinking is clear, if the body doesn't work, it just doesn't happen.
I did make it to bed earlier, at 21:19? Give or take small change... it was in the teens after the hour. I set the alarms, which are still at 07:00 and 08:00. But, man, I could not get up! I knew the alarms were useless, so just turned them off on what would have been the third snooze bump. On the good side, I woke an hour earlier than yesterday, if I went to bed at 23:00 to 24:00 yesterday.
Still, that I was able to get to bed earlier, and break the later rising pattern, there is actual hope that I can pull my schedule back... for what good it does me. If... that isn't the point. It's a matter of being able to use willpower. To focus that and move it toward success in life. It means I am less dead than otherwise. If I have to be alive, I would like to be able to use my will toward right ends.
Dreams, all night. I know the superintendent (or was he just the principle) worked to make sure our teams lost. Football, basketball. Did he get paid? Or was he given some sort of access? Lots of money involved, even in highschool. We played against teams with seventy players, and only had as few as eighteen? Even so, he worked against what little we could do. I know it. I have dreamed about it before. I hope whatever he got, rots whatever ill gains he thought it was worth. He hated me for sacking an average of five plus sacks and game, and two turnovers, against impossible odds. He truly hated any of us, who were successful. Which is why I didn't get the basketball, and was never thrown the football... if though too, his quarterback couldn't throw the ball to save his life. Maybe he actually tried?
Sleep was a bit rough. I thought I two pillows was too much, oddly. So I pulled one. Nope, two was better, if not very comfortable. Then, the blankets. Too warm, too cold, too warm. I couldn't keep up. And I peed a lot last night. Only twice, but I filled half the three litter pee jug. I had been down to not going at night. Then again, I started retaining water, and had to bump the water pills. Ugh.
Anyway... a very good blood sugar, and a bit of an earlier waking. With hope of getting to bed around 20:00 tonight? If that is what it takes to wake earlier, sure. Though, really, if I sleep well, 21:00 should be fine. I should, when in normal times, wake at around 05:00 to 06:00. I just needed more sleep last night.
Well, all good. Some hot tea. Meds are already down. I'll get the girls litter, and add fill. Been keeping their litter nearly pristine, three cleanings a day usually. Keeping them fed, and watered rightly. Same decent care for the rabbits. And, refilled their waterers last night. So, all is ready. Might get right out, right now, get them managed. Later.
