I'm terrified. Seriously.

My blood sugar was 162 last night before going to sleep. It was the same in the morning. And now, 2 hours after a breakfast that had a grand total of 33 carbs, that was mostly cottage cheese and yogurt and fewer berries than I should have had, it's 221. I called my doctor but he's not in. He doesn't return calls so I'm calling him again when he is in, at 1PM.

I've been taking the Glyset exactly as ordered.

I'm heading straight for insulin, aren't I?

I'm at the office. The only stuff I have on hand is my lunch and some yogurt. Lunch is carefully weighed turkey breast and two slices of bread and a salad without dressing (I *like* undressed salads) and an orange.

I should keep almonds around, yeah. And I did eat more carbs than I should have yesterday. We ate out, and I was careful, but I think I left too many potatoes on my plate (I removed the potatoes I wasn't going to eat. I think I didn't remove enough.)

And stress? What possible stress could I be under?

Get some almonds, definitely, and keep them at home and at work. They really do help--I've seen Mama spike so hard and fast that she's shaking and she eats a few and she evens out quickly. And that lunch sounds like it will help as well. I'm betting that your sugar will drop after it.

What possible stress could I be under?

*wry grin* WAY too much?

*hugs* I'm saying a prayer for you today, hon. I know dealing with this is really rough--half my family has diabetes in one form or another and has been on insulin and meds so I know firsthand how hard it can be.
