Bill, sugar and foot

[Guest guest]

Dear Bill,

Of course I wish you success in unraveling your sugar mystery. Just wanted to

say that though I'm not posting much I was keeping tabs when you saw the doctor

about your foot. I'm glad that painful problem is solved.

Always with Love,

Lissi

Re: Dropping sugar level

Mike,

I can only assume that my bg was actually dropping since taking a glucose

tablet picked me up again in 15 minutes or less. Had my bg been high, the

tablet would have done no good.

I don't know if it will always be the case, but so far I've been able to

tell the difference between a dropping sugar and one that is rather high.

Too low a bg and I feel kind of cold, out of it, and can't think straight.

When the sugar is way too high, I simply feel tired and washed out but have

never noticed any other symptoms with it, yet. I know that last year when I

was at a party where all we had was pizza, I ate two slices of it and by the

time I got home, I was wiped out and my sugar was well over 200. (Lesson to

Bill, don't do that again.)

It almost seems more like the sudden drop has something to do with very

rapidly changing temperatures, but I don't have enough information to know

why that would cause the reaction I described. I will be discussing this

with my doctor the next time I see him to see if he has any ideas.
