Default mini update the last 24 hours

it's been weird.

oK, I guess I should elaborate.

Went out last night to a live concert. First time in months. Ate requip and Sinemet extra. 2 reqp and 1 scr at 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00PM to get me through. Did great. Scrupulously avoided carbs especially sugar. Got home at 11:00 still feelin good. Had a snack cheese, crackers, pnut butter. Headed for bed and bottom dropped out faster than ever experienced. Went from snacking standing up to barely able to walk in fifteen minutes. Unfortunately couldn't test blood sugar without waking house but sure it was high, not low. Brain fog and bladder were my companions for two to three hours.

Got upthis morning feeling pretty good or at least no worse than usual. Tried to start day with just requip and selegeline. Didn't work so have gingerly added sinemet in slowly. Started to function around noon. It is now 3:00 PM here and i have eaten only a handful of walnuts and a pork chop and I feel good. Blood sugar has stayed in the 90 - 95 (US) range all day. Shouldn't I have been at least a little hypoglycemic? Going to try some carbs in a while to "stress test" this affair.

Over and out.
