The Boy Who Cried Carbs...

Aug 18, 2008 10:27

I went to the Dodger game yesterday and had a couple of DODGER DOGS, a Carl's Jr. Jalapeno Burger, and a diet Coke.

This made it so that when I checked in to the hospital, got naked and into a gown, laid on a slab and had an IV inserted, and blood drawn... and my blood sugar was 374...

Surgery Cancelled.

UGH.

Am I wrong to LOL? Because I LOL'd.

i have almost completely eliminated carbs from my diet. Almost, because I still eat non-starchy vegetables to get the few carbs I take in. The carbs were just trumping my meds, and the meds, getting ever stronger, were killing me.

Finally, I told my dietitian to go fuck herself and eliminated the 125 g of carbs per day she wanted me to eat. I told my doctor to immediately take me off as most meds as possible and put me on insulin.

Glucose went from 300+ to 90 +/- 10 in 3 weeks.

And now the Byetta fiasco...

Ugh is right.
