I find anything over 120 intolerable.

Yes my good sir, but you have your diabetes under control. Are you even still on insulin?

I was never on it to start with. When the symptoms starting hitting me, I crashed the diet back to nearly 0 carb intake and upped the exercise routine to what I'd call harsh levels. Dropped 40 lbs. and lost 6" off the waist, then got about 20 lbs. back in muscle buildup. I understand that not everyone can do this, however.

My last urinalysis came back "perfect".

If only I could blame my high sugar level on Moi.

Speaking of blood sugar, my levels for the last six days were 90, 113, 59, 106, 119 and 113. That's pretty good for me.

Yeah, those good numbers, but a lot of it depends on where you are 2 hours after you eat, vs. where you were before you ate.

I finally gave up on the rice as I had nothing too flavor it with and plain rice is so bland. My landlord also gave me 25 pounds of dry pinto beans. I put five pounds of dry beans in my crock pot, covered them with a few inches of water and cooked them for eight hours. They came out delicious especially after I add salt, pepper and sometimes garlic. When I get my next check I'll buy some jalapeños to flavor them with.

It might not be healthy but I can eat pinto beans and hamburger all month. Except for condiments it's all I have in the house till payday.

Till the 30th, its beans and burger for three meals a day. Sheesh, I feel like a cattle drover, except they rarely had the hamburger

HOORAY my small

to Subway for a Club Sub Now off to the grocery store.

Wow, even Google wished me a Happy Birthday, so cool.

Happy Birthday, may the year bring you health, happiness, and good fortune's

As I may have mentioned before, there is a cute beagle living in the backyard now. He sleeps beside my front door since I pay the most attention to him.

This morning I walked out to look for the Time Warner guy and suddenly the ground gave way and I fell on the pavement. The &%$#@ beagle had dug a hole underneath my sidewalk thus undermining its integrity and it collapsed.

My left knee was badly scraped and bleeding so I walked over to the ER to have them look at it. We 70 year olds with Diabetes need to be wary of infection.

The nurses cleaned it with peroxide, applied Neosporin and bandaged it nicely. The pain has decreased from a 3 down to a 1

Beware the Beagle! --FLO--

Hooray, my phone is again in working order.

It's little things like that that make you reevaluate just how much you need a dog. Glad nothing more serious happened.

The beagle belongs to the people in the big house but he loves me better. I pay him the most attention and he sleeps right beside my front door

Maybe he likes me because he thinks I'm just a two-legged dog

As long as you don't pee or poo in my yard...

Today I went grocery shopping as I thought I had $32 in my account. When it came time to pay for them, my atm card was rejected. (they musta found out I knew Paolo) I told the checker to put the groceries back when a stranger behind me payed for all my groceries, $32 worth.

See, there are angels

$50 mysteriously appeared in my account today so I ate at Subway, bought some groceries and got a can of food for the beagle. It was 102 F. so I kept my errands to a minimum.

I had to renew all my medications today. When I got home I realized I was still missing two things: pepper and mayo. I walked over to the ATM and was glad to see I had $17 left in my account. It's off to the grocery store tomorrow

Hooray, cooler weather is here. Today the high was 76

Beagles are great judges of character. If a beagle chooses you take it as a compliment. They are a great sleeping companion.

It's going to be a long five days till payday. I used up the rest of my food today and my check won't arrive till the 29th.

If I had a car I would. The food shelves are miles from where I live and since turning 70 I find I can only walk six blocks daily. Good idea though.

See if their is an elder ride program available to get you there and back. Maybe landlord could help

I asked landlord, he said he might drop by tomorrow. My insurance company provides rides but for medical places only.
