I had the quarterly blood test. It's a bit like a quarterly newsletter - it comes round when you had forgotten you were going to get it, and reminds you of things you had been trying to avoid. This particular blood test showed my average blood sugar levels to be actually quite good. This was a bit of a surprise, considering the addiction to ice-cream I've been suffering from in the past few months.
Anyway, I thought I would check my sugar, not something I do very often, but I couldn't get my machine to work. The battery had given up the ghost. Well, it took a few days to get a new one (free from the diabetes company - thank you very much Abbott Diabetes Care) and I tested my sugar.... a whopping 9.6. I've done it a few times since and it keeps coming out in the 9s, which is more pants than a Korean lingerie sweatshop.
Why, I ask myself? Several easy answers to that:
1) Ice cream addiction.
2) Working a 60 hour week, with no personal time.
3) Means all extra-curricular activity, like exercise, has been shelved due to lack of time and exhaustion.
Solutions to this problem?
1) Win the lottery.
2) Give up work.
3) Go and do some exercise.
4) Stop eating ice-cream.
5) Relax
Sorted.
