Fasting Blood Sugars

{Post: 29/365}
(for all the other diabetics out there who I'm sure hate fasting blood sugars too!!)

why do they ask

a diabetic

to fast for 14 hour blood sugars

I mean I understand

they need to know

if your sugars are managed

but don't they know

how miserable fasting can be?

I eat every two hours

not a whole meal

not a lot

but something

and if I miss a meal

or am late eating

I get the shakes

I get really, really BITCHY

and cranky

I can also get dizzy, weak 

and an upset tummy

and then...

other things that we don't want to discuss

this may happen if I have gone an extra hour or two

past my eating schedule

can you imagine what happens

when I have not eaten 

for 14 hours!?

fasting blood sugars SUCK

and I wish there was another way

to get this information

I'm taking

Diamicron (gliclazide)

Metformin

and Insulin

every day

morning sugars can already be a 5

so when I fast

I wake up in a LOW

VERY low

I am fasting after dinner

and tomorrow will be an ordeal!

Find another way to get

fasting blood sugars!!!
