Blood sugar was rather high.

No, I've been eating rightly, for a while.  If... I ate at all.  Running at 199 after waking up.  I had a tea, with my sweetener system, which I thought reduced things.  Then some soup.  A few hours after the soup, it was up to 201?  Crazy.  Crazy high.  What... was different?  No coffee and cream all week.  I have been cutting back on cream, for several reasons.

So... I decided to have a coffee with cream.  Well, and the sweetener.

Crazy.  Blood sugar dropped to 135 in an hour.  I missed it, all week.  Now I need... want? another.  So, okay.  I'll see if that keeps the numbers down, going without a few more days.  Or just deal with it.  I'd much rather have lower blood sugar than to worry about cholesterol readings, since those have been ski high for... a generation now anyway.  I just wanted to see skipping cream for a bit could seriously lower that.  Meant to get blood tested this week, but... found no way out.

Now, after a taste, I... need one more, before cutting the tap, or trying to, for a few days.  I'm not sure if it is the coffee, with the cream, or with the sweetener, or with the whole lot.  Further, since I don't drink cream with tea?  But I do use the sweetener combination?  I suspect coffee wouldn't be the fixer, it's the addition of cream, with that particular sweetening concoction that lowers blood sugar... somehow.

I guess I don't mind.  And I can go without for a few days until I can begin using regularly again.  But so strange.

Now, besides all of my other issues.  I have had blood sugars beyond the scale of my monitors for six months to a year at a time, several times, many?  At least three times, if one of those was for several years.  Which... if the limit is what the doc said, is around 600 to 650?  Would mean an A1C of... around... 33 to 36.  (Or higher, but that is what the doc said was around the cutoff of these devices, and my blood sugar was over that.)

Well, and blood pressure of 240/180 for six months, twice... one of those times occurring along with the high blood sugar.  Or... most likely, both times.

So, I suppose I am unusual.  I was watching the video, of another diabetic, whose blood sugar went to over 400.  A short jump, from consuming alcohol on an empty stomach.  He ended up in the hospital.  Almost died.  Which... really... makes me wonder.  Is he... weak?  Or am I... different, way different?  Or... both?

Those things weren't even included in my near death events.  Perhaps they should have been?  I mean, I didn't die from them.  But probably should have?  Easily could have?  Very strange.  Just... finding new things out as I move along.

Coffee is good!  Especially when I go without for nearly a week.  Uhm... nice.

Later, or good night.
