Tonight I'm walking a fine line.

I usually prefer to wake up higher than the recommended fasting. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be sky high, but being over 110 really rocks my world because that means I don't have to eat anything before I exercise.

This morning for example, I was 116 mg/dL I believe. Had a wonderful walk that wasn't preceded by food.

Tomorrow morning, though, I'm having some fasting bloodwork done. And not until 8 a.m. Even on mornings when I walk I've usually eaten breakfast by 8 a.m. Remember last time I had bloodwork and woke up on the super high side and then wound up nearly close to low while I was getting my blood drawn? No? Well then read this.

So anyway, I'm going to try not to screw things up this time. Especially since I'll have No. 3 with me as I'll drop her off at preschool (preschool!!!) after the labwork.

Of course, today would be the day that I planned a fairly low-carb dinner: chicken breast, corn and stuffing. I know the corn and stuffing are carby, but if you're trying to stay elevated for the next 10 hours those two things likely won't sustain you. So I plan to have some other slow-acting carbs before bed and I won't correct any highs in the morning. Well, I take that back, I'll correct, but not aggressively. I don't want to wind up dropping and dropping and wondering if I'll make it through the draw.

I'll be more prepared this time, too, when I actually get in the office. I plan to bring juice and food with me. Wish me luck!
