@Sassy7356   Are you feeling any better, hopefully?

Not really, @mousiegirl Often flare ups can go on for days to even months.  I just wait it out.  When I have a flare I am sensitive to everything from what I wear seeming too heavy on my body, fatigue, and fibro fog.  Last night we went to dinner with friends.  It took me a long time to walk from the parking lot into the restaurant and then the chairs they had were too much.  We ate and came home vs. continuing the night out for karoake.

NATIONAL COFFEE ICE CREAM DAY - September 6

         @meallen616 & all:  Coffee ice cream was my husband's favorite flavor. He would buy Several half gallons at the commissary. 
    Once when he had lost a lot of weight we shopped together there and I saw the ice cream in the basket. I sneeked it out and was returning it to the freezer while he unloaded the basket. 
     I heard him running behind me after that ice cream and he snatched it back wordlessly and ran back to the checkout. People were laughing but he wasn't. 
     We did that with Halloween candy too!

@1Snickers I can picture this happening.  What a good chuckle.

Thank you @1Snickers.  It was a very quiet day at home as he had to work but took Friday off instead.

@meallen616 Thank you.  My DH is still enjoying the sugar-free brownie cupcakes I made him for the day.

@mousiegirl,   I'll never get through laughing at your husband grabing back the coffee ice cream.    I'm glad he caught that before you two got home.  

My sister's ex husband had type 1 diabetes and she told me that he constantly craved sweets.  I have type 2 diabetes and so far my medication has only helped a little.  Not near enough.  Next week is my check up and I'm afraid that she will want to change my medication.  I take 4 Metformin HCL 500 mg every day, two in the morning and two at night.  My number has stayed at 9 or 10, nowhere near 7 or below.  I'm worried about a medication change.  I'll be glad when the checkup is done and over.  

I sure did enjoy my laughter at your husbands expense.  Bless him.  Please tell him that i was laughing with him, not at him.  Love you!  

@Sweet Caroline 1   Try to eat less carbs and more protein especially first meal of the day.  This really helps in lowering blood sugar.

Maybe you could buy a blood sugar test kit on amazon, so you can keep tabs on it daily.

@Sweet Caroline 1 @mousiegirl I was going to suggest the very same thing.  I, too, have type 2 diabetes and have found the more protein I eat the less I spike.  Also, when I do spike I eat some protein.  It doesn't have to be much.  Plus, since I have lost weight it has helped considerably.

It's a gorgeous day here in MN.  Last night it got down to 43 and today's high is to be 69.  Perfect weather.  I love it.  Next week we return to the upper 80s.  It's that time of the year we yo-yo with the ups and downs of temperatures.
