Thanks for clearing that up Sue:

I DO INDEED HAVE A COLD. I did not drink any liquids yesterday because Alan had the ivig and I was so busy keeping him hydrated that I forgot to keep myself hydrated.

I woke up sniffing and sneezing, and I said 'oh brother, I have a cold, oh well". I did not drink any liquids after breakfast, then I ate my soup for lunch, and AGAIN, DID NOT DRINK ANYTHING TILL 4:30, when I took my sugar and it was 248. Believe me, my sugar is NEVER 248. I then realized that I should have been rehydrating. I immediately drank a nice cup of green tea.

In 20 minutes my sugar went down to 185.

I shall be drinking tea or water as needed. I only hope I never forget to hydrate.

I am assuming that this is the reason for my reading of 248. I don't eat anything white or cake, or candy, or anything. and I've been having the same wonton egg drop soup for lunch for years. I love it and it's my guilty pleasure. It never impacts my sugar.

But today, well 4 hours after lunch, it rose to 248, then dipped back down.

Tomorrow is Cornell.

THAT SHOULD BE MOST INTERESTING!!

P.S. It's 7 p.m. just took (90 minutes after dinner), and it's 156.

I think I'll live after all!!

Oh, one interesting point.

Alan went to his podiatrist today and told him about the Cornell thing.
His doctor said: "yeah, I heard about this, and in my opinion, it's the people who have diabetes and who continue to smoke, these are the ones that have major problems and ultimately expire". So maybe the people in the intensive group were smokers??
Perhaps we shall never know. Alan asked his doctor "can I quote you on that, and he replied "Absolutely"
