| Yesterday's Lunch |
Things have been a little rough the past couple of days. My pain has increased as well as my dizziness and tiredness.
I remember before I got sick I prided myself on the fact that I never took naps. Now there are days where I do nothing but nap, or at least it feels that way.
I had intended to spend more time downstairs today but the pain and fatigue got so bad that I came upstairs around one in the afternoon and haven't been back downstairs today. It's almost midnight now so I really doubt I'll be going down there unless there's an emergency in the next 13 minutes.
On the good side of things my low-carb, ketogentic-like diet seems to be working pretty well. It's not quite the ketogenic diet (or "keto") and I've been prone to calling it "cheato." Instead of focusing on keeping my carbs under 100 per day I tend to eat things that aren't processed carbs like bread or pasta. I've avoided rice and potatoes. I'll eat fruits and vegetables pretty regularly but try to stay away from most other carby things. The pork I had tonight had some seasoned flour on it but not much. I'm not cutting it out completely; just mostly.
The diet isn't for weight loss. I've decided that I'm a big guy and I don't particularly care. If I do lose weight then that's an absolutely fine thing to have happen but all I really care about is keeping my blood sugar under control. The diabetes isn't going to go away and I'll probably be on insulin forever but if I can keep things in acceptable levels I'll be okay with that.

Teeth have now been brushed. The shower will have to wait but hopefully tomorrow I'll have the energy for that.
Here's what I'm hoping to get done tomorrow:
- Meds
- Recording all food
- Recording all blood sugars
- Shower
- Shaving my head
- Spend time downstairs watching daughter so that my wife can sleep in on her day off
