How did my blood sugar react? Well, the next time I measured it was 2.8. Two point frigging eight. That is by far the lowest it&#8217;s ever been. In fact it is too low. It&#8217;s not supposed to be under 4. So I had to grab something to eat right away.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was so low because I had been out for a walk. Quite possibly the first walk I have ever done just for the exercise. Not to go shopping. Not stopping at the library. Not going out because there was snow and I wanted to enjoy the prettiness. Just walking for the sake of it. I feel so very healthy and morally upright. Walking for exercise, whodathunk it was possible.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of snow, the weather forecast says we might be getting some. It is almost winter now.<\/p>\n<p>My blood sugar after taking the pills today have been in the low 4s.. So that&#8217;s good. Looks to me like pills will be okay. That I won&#8217;t need the insulin injections.  The doc will be calling tomorrow at 10 to hear how it&#8217;s going. They were thinking that one pill might not be enough and that we might have to up the dosage. But looks like that won&#8217;t be necessary. I must say that I&#8217;m happy with how it&#8217;s going. I thought it was going to be so very hard. But I&#8217;m still eating well, starting to feel good enough to go out and get a little exercise. And my blood sugar levels have been 1 digit since I came home. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s been higher than 7 in quite a while. I am coping. I honestly had my doubts whether I would. But hey, I guess I was selling myself short.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is the playground christmas party. I must admit that I don&#8217;t  feel much like going. It will be stresfull and there will be people. I feel like I have had enough stress and people lately. But I better go. I know it will be nice after all. I&#8217;ll make an effort. And skip desert. Hopefully Bodil will be there. I haven&#8217;t seen her in absolutely ages. Not since Mads died actually. So that&#8217;s a long time. It would be good to see her again. They&#8217;re all nice people at the playground, but she&#8217;s the one I feel most comfortable with. I hope I can get to sit next to her like I have the last two years. And that the night will go as well as those in general.<\/p>\n<p>All for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I switched from insulin injections to pills.
