Default Oh yeah...the data...

so I got a little excited....

10/8/06
0600 arose;bs=77; 1 scr; 2 reqp; 1 eldprl
0620 nuts, raisins
0640 bs=93
0730 bs=96; have turned on much sooner than usual
0740 nut, raisins
0800 turmeric, yogurt; turn on has been unusually smooth
0830 black coffee
0845 2 reqp, 1 scr; bs=122; mildly symptomatic; pnut butter, crackers
0900 bs=102; symptoms mild+
0940 bs=82; symptoms mild-
1035 hamburger in tomato sauce on bun; symptoms mild
1045 bs=98
1100 ice cream
1115 bs=104; 2 reqp, 1 scr
1145 bs=124; mild symptoms
1220 bs=122; no symptoms
1235 bs=109; moderate symptoms-

I ran out of test strips at this point, but by 1330 I was going "off" and struggled for the next three hours. A medium level stressor and/or the darned ice cream are my prime suspects.

I have a sense of being my most fragile in the mornings and much less so after noon.

For those who refuse to accept the measurement system of the Empire and must make do with Meetrik , normal is 90 to 95 and you edge into "higher than" about 120. But don't get too hung up on the numbers. It may be that "normal" is much different for PWP.
