Hmm. Some of my comments have disappeared. How odd. And annoying, it was all the sweet and supportive comments you guys left after the diabetes revelation. I don’t understand it, if it was a database hickup then I’d think the entries would have disappeared as well. But only the comments. I don’t get it. Sorry about that.

But I am home from the hospital again. I do not have to spend any more nights there. Thank heavens for that. I should be back home for good.

My last two blood measurements have been 4,7 and 4,8. I was like woah. That’s almost too low. Excellent.

And everything went fine at the hospital. Just a bit of talking with nurses and doctors. Things are progressing nicely. I’m going to go back Tuesday next week. Until then I’ll continue measuring my blood sugar level four times a day. And take insulin injections. And pills. And hopefully everything will keep going well.

After I had gotten some fresh supplies of needles and pills and etcetera I went to talk to the dietician. A very nice lady. We talked a little about my previous eating habits. And my future ones. She said the changes I had already started making were very good. Switching to sugar free soda. Eating more green stuff. Cutting the candy. Switching to mini-milk and drinking less of it. She also told me about some low-fat candy that I could try out. And I have tried them out. There’s liquorice and gummi. And I had a bit of it between the 4,7 and 4,8 mesurements. So it seems to work well. Not that I should eat tons of them, but psychologically it just feels good to have a little something left. For many, many years I have practically lived off candy and chocolate and chips. It’s hard to change all that. But I guess it’s going well so far, so that’s good.

I’m thinking of not going to the christmas party at the playground. It’s going to be a feast of fatty foods, I don’t know if that’s a good idea right now. In a couple of weeks. I’ll think about it.

I’ll be going up there tomorrow most likely. I do miss me some goats. They’re going to start forgetting me soon. First I was sick and then the hospital. They’ll probably be angry at me. Also because now I have to eat green stuff, so we’ll be competing for food. Could be trouble!

I am too tired to type out the long account of the last week’s event. But how goes it today? It goes okay. Still feeling basically fine. My blood sugar levels are decent. When I called in this morning to report them to the hospital the nurse said it was looking really good. So that’s swell.

I have started coughing though. And feeling a slight niggle in my throat. I really hope I’m not coming down with something. I have to go back to the hospital tomorrow morning and I’m afraid that if I’m sick they’ll want to keep me in for observation. I really do not want to spend any more nights in the hospital. I hate it.

They were talking about giving me an insulin overdose so I could feel what it’s like to have too low blood sugar. The sadists! Well I’m sure there’s a good reason for it and they don’t just want to do it because they want me to feel bad. Anyway, I’m reporting back in at 7.30 tomorrow morning. I’m going to see the dietician at 11, that’s in the same building as the diabetes ward. Hopefully they’ll let me go home later on in the day. We’ll see how it goes. Don’t wait up.
