I did a fasting blood sugar check this morning and I was 94. Which is normal. A friend, who is a medical assistant, said that the cut off number for type 2 has been lowered to a high of 110. I hadn't heard that but will look it up to verify.

I'm still peeing a lot and I'm thirsty. I'm going to hold off calling for a couple of days, just to make sure this isn't a urinary tract infection or a virus or something, but if I'm still doing this on Monday, I'll definitely call.

My doctor hates me because I always come in with a list of stuff I've looked up online. I realize that you can diagnose yourself with just about anything if you look hard enough, but I was the one who diagnosed my allergy to CSSIs - my doctor was prescribing creams for the rash and sent me for an EKG for the heart palpitations. Meanwhile, I looked up side-effects of Celexa (after first diagnosing myself with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma!) and hey, presto. Side effects of CSSIs? Rash, heart palpitations and night sweats.

Still, in this case, better safe than sorry, since I know all too well what long-term high blood sugars can do to a body. Although I have to say, the weight loss is nice. I know, I know, don't lecture. I know.
