Blood sugar
Two hours ago I drank two liters of 100% juice, ate several pieces of bread and some cheese. Walking around the building a few minutes ago I felt so dizzy that I thought I would fall down. I went to the nurse’s station (one of the perks of Rockwell Scientific.) My blood pressure is fine (diastolic a bit high), no sign of ear infection. So the nurse took my blood sugar level.
67. Two hours after a meal my blood sugar level should be between 110 and 170. 65 to 110 is the normal range for a fasting reading. I called my doctor. I’m waiting to hear back.
More to come as it unfolds.
OK, I just heard back. The verdict? Eat more protein, and more regularly. Seems a bit facile, but it’s worth a shot.
