Ups and Downs

I'm working from home today, which is good, except that one drawback of it is that I get even less exercise walking to the computer after breakfast than I do driving to the office, and my blood sugar suffers because of it. My overnight reading was 108 (which is good), but one hour after breakfast it soared to 172 (bad). I took a short walk around the complex, rain or now, and two hours after breakfast, it had fallen to 72 -- too low, nearly hypoglycemic! Rats! Roller-coaster readings are Bad. This is why I'm supposed to eat six (relatively small) meals a day.

I'd say that reading SMOFS list messages affects my blood sugar, but if there is anything the SMOFS list is not, it's sweet.
