baskington's Journal, 10 October 2018

yesterday after using the coffee every 4 to 5 hours to relieve my leg tightening all day I started to not feel well. Ate less for dinner as I had no appetite went to bed early and while I woke up several times I made up the sleep I lost and I dropped part of that recent gain. my owverage of calories this week did not warrant that much weight gain so I was not concerned with it. Since the coffee is one of my problem foods I will only drink half a cup and see if that works. I looked that quinne tonic water and found an interesting article on the benefits of that and muscle cramps. I forget the exact wordage but since the relief is immediate instead of 20 minutes they believed that the bitterness of the solution effects some nerve receptors and triggers the relaxing of the muscles. interesting theory. Might explain why coffee does that for me. I will try it.

I have been testing my blood and I got some unusual readings yesterday. One of my readings was sky high 3 hours after eating and I have to question it. I think some of my glucose strip are defective. I got a high reading this morning so I took a second one and it was lower.
yesterday readings fasting 2.4 ketones,4.3 glucose, 1 hr after eating and exercise 2.6 ketone 4.3 glucose 3.5 hours after eating 2.7 and 4.3 4 hours after a decent lunch 3 ketone and 5 glucose and that glucose is the odd one. this morning fasting is 2.3 ketone and first glucose was 5.2 and second one 4.8. I am a little shakey this morning so I rechecked.


I will drink more water and hydrate up and see if the shakey feeling goes away. got a lot of work to do today and exercise

Stay strong! I try to poke the same finger in the same spot every time to get more consistent readings.

thanks for the tip Adef I am getting tired of poking myself. some of these glucose strips don't seem to have the strip run cleanly. the ketones strips are straight and clear I can see the blood go into them. weird. I will just have to do a second glucose when I get a weird one

Glad you made up some of your sleep - that should make the day much better! Sorry about the leg cramps - that quinine water sounds interesting!

thanks Nikeit yes it is interesting I am going to grab some at the store if I get out today. Kind of feeling lazy today, doing my exercise and got some fish tanks done this morning but feel like playing hooky. I do that a lot lately getting tired of the fish. I shipped yesterday so I was pretty busy besides being under my normal sleep level. all is good today. the lightheaded went away and doing my thing!
