I have a glimmer of hope

As most know who have been following this, I've been losing the same 5 pounds for about 2 months.

What does that mean? On Monday, I weighed x and on the next Thursday I weighed approximately x-5.

Well, today, on a Sunday, I weigh about x-7. And my insulin dosage was 28 units this morning, and my blood sugar is 104, 2 hours after breakfast.

Notice that I am not defining what x is

FYI: I have made serious changes. When I would have munched on crackers or gummi bears, now I substitute nuts.

I'm meeting my students at Cici's pizza at 2:00 pm today, and I'm going to have one slice of regular pizza. I'm going to eat salad, and ask Cici's for non-crust pizza. The one in our neighborhood said they would be happy to do that.

In the past, I would have eaten very little salad, about 5 pieces with crust, and pasta. I am not planning to eating any pasta either.

One of my students asked about the AP Computer Science grading ... which brought back memories of being feed carbs every few hours, then a bounty of carbs in the evening, and just a thought of a week like that made me nauseous. Weird.
