It was around 11am and I happened to use a diastix test strip in my urine (I've been so well controlled for the past 18 months that I only bother about once a week). Sudden panic, the strip went green rather than the perfect blue I always get!
Was in a funk for the next hour or so. Should I take another Metformin? Was I reacting to my newly prescribed statin? Should I call up my GP for such a small change? Crap, the trouble with diabetes is that you know it's going to creep up on you eventually.
Drunk plenty of herbal tea and stayed on very low sugar food for the rest of the day. Tested again around 3pm, perfect blue result again. Panic over I hope. Looked in the mirror and saw how much younger and sexy I look after losing weight for the last two years; not so bad after all.
