long time no blog ...

I'm just too sweet!!

My sugar went down almost immediately after starting on Gluconorm. However, it's back up again to the 10's in these few days :( It's disappointing and I thought may be Gluconorm is not going to work for me either. I was reading about it on the web, and came across some articles that say Actos is usually taken in the morning (mmmm ... may be it makes sense since it works on the muscles to make them use insulin more effectively ...). I have been taking Actos at night (and had totally forgeten about it on some days) so that it wouldn't collide with my morning 5 lines soup. So, today, I switched to taking Actos in the morning together with my pre-breakfast Gluconorm. And since then, both my after-breakfast and after-lunch readings were good!! :D ... so may be there is hope for me? Let's see for a few days if this works ...

It's really fluctuating trying to control my sugar, esp when it fluctuates like the stock market without any particular reason (like the stocks as well??) Now I have to spend at least an hour in the morning to fit in the 5 lines soup and prepare my breakfast and lunch. And then I have to spend some more time at night to prepare more food. It's quite demanding especially on busy workdays. Even though my fridge is always full of food, I still don't know what to eat sometimes. I miss the days when I could have a big bowl of cereals for dindin, or just an instant noodles for lunch. I miss ice-creams and all those starchy snacks. And I can't help but feel depressed and sad sometimes. Oh well, I guess ... that's life!!
