Pancakes. FOR SCIENCE.

The last couple of weeks, the fuzzyheadedness and forgetfulness was getting worse every day around 3PM. 
At first, I thought maybe it was the lower blood sugar over all.  Then after realizing it wasnt really THAT low throughout the day, I checked it everytime I got fuzzy.  Low 80s.  While checking I noticed I was rocksolid the whole time, never above 99, never below 83.

One day, when things got fuzzy, I decided to eat a bag of Doritos.  Fuzziness gone.  Blood sugar peaked at 92.  usually its MUCH higher after chips.

I decided to eat a little better than I usually did.  Again, I never got above 99.  And that when I decided to max out the meter with a pancake breakfast.

Before breakfast: 82

After two eggs, two bacon, hashbrowns, French toast, and a pancake with maple syrup drizzled over most of it? 112.  And a stomachache.

Metformin and overnight insulin seem to be working fine at keeping me balanced no matter what I throw at it.  In fact, as per my doctor, lower than she'd like (she wants me at 90 waking up).  The fuzzyheadedness is also a sign it might be too low.  Need to talk to my doctor about that next time I see her.

So, where do I go from here?

Ive lost 70 pounds.  The fishfood diet is boring, but working amazingly well.  And as long as I get what I want on the weekends I'm okay with five days of boring.  I may start being a little more daring in snack choices - keeping to my numbers, but eating non-sugar-free chocolates instead of sugar free ones or having (the occasional) ice cream.

But VERY carefully.  I once said I'd never be over 300 again.  I've amended that to 275.  Soon I may be amending that to 250 if I can get below that.  Just gotta keep on keepin' on.
