Too Much Rest?

I noticed something about myself a year or two ago. If I hole up in my house, as I’m inclined to do, I get a little down. I wouldn’t say depressed but close to it. Maybe depressed.

Since coming back from Bangkok, I’ve been a bit sick and tired. I hate that I can’t do much of anything without having what I think is the lupus fatigue set in. I also had some chest congestion though. Some of the blood pressure meds I take contribute to that. No doubt these cigars are not helping. I enjoy them so much though. Jessie is fussing at me for smoking them too much. I’ll probably end up quiting them but I’ll have to decide that on my on. They can’t be good for my enlarged heart.

Whacky Blood Sugar Behavior

My blood sugar is doing some very strange things. Its crashing when it makes no sense to me and today after walking for about 1.5 miles my blood sugar was a mind blowing 276. That’s after my walk. Perhaps its because I’ve not been walking as much as I should. I didn’t feel like it again today but just forced myself to do it. I had some sugar free candy that claims its safe for diabetics to use on the package.

I may have to confirm that. I’ve not been eating as much this month, in the past I used it to try to not eat anything with calories in it. I hope I’ve not been getting screwed around. Surely not. One time I was taking vitamins that where packed full of sugar and was pushing my blood sugar up.

Diabetes

I had another low blood sugar yesterday. Not a bad one. I felt shaky and check and was down to 79 which officially is not low but I was having some symptoms. Mostly shaky and irritable, felt like I need a Xanax but decided it was probably blood sugar. I was right, so I had some milk and two pieces of candy before I felt normal again. My legs were weak though so I didn’t go on my walk.

Weather & Exercise

I was getting ready to go for a walk when it hit. I planned to go up until the point I felt weak in my legs and decided I shouldn’t go. I’ve not gone as much in the last week as i should. I plan on going today but it is getting cloudy. If it actually rains, that would be helpful. It has been extremely hot in the last couple of weeks. Around 33 for highs at 60% or higher humidity! Its only 91 degrees which would be a cool day in July in Memphis but the humidity would be around 20% or less when its that hot. Not here, it gets even hotter just before a rainy day. Then it usually gets cooler after that. This time of the year, the cooler period doesn’t last long, usually not even an entire day.
