Blood glucose 98

BP: 132/56 (lying down)

8:00 am ate breakfast (see menu)
9:15 am BG: 91
10:22am BG 78

So, yep, I take that as a confirmation of hypoglycemia. Normal blood sugars are supposed to *rise* after a meal.

10:30 am carby snack (teach me to not be prepared)

11:21 am BG 102, BP 134/110
12:10 pm ate lunch, napped a bit

I got home yesterday afternoon to a BP of 168/111 and freaked out. Called my doc, re-started the 2nd med they'd taken me off of. I can't be on it long term as it messes with my createnine levels, but until I can get in and we talk meds it was better than having that high of a BP.

So, later on it was down to the 140's again. Not great but a darn sight better!

I also picked up a blood glucose monitor to start keeping an eye on that.
