Type 2 D here as well. Take metformin, one tablet, daily...before I go to bed. Blood sugar levels have been between 107 and 114 in the morning before eating. It is sometimes higher if I had pizza or pasta the night before. Of course chocolate and sweets (donuts) are totally off limits, but I do sneak one every so often. The wife will say, "What was your blood sugar this morning?" I tell her it was between 126 and 137. She then asks, "what did you eat yesterday that you shouldn't have?" Busted!!! The meter doesn't lie. LOL
With exercise walking the golf course vs. ride in a cart helps keep it in check. Of course loading and unloading DJ gear helps with the exercise part too.
A couple of years ago at a wedding show I had an episode where I began sweating all over my body; arm pits, behind legs, back, etc. Felt dizzy and thought like I had to vomit. I let my wife handle the booth while I went to the restroom where eventually I did vomit. After that I felt much better. A little weak thereafter. Made it through the rest of the show. In retrospect, I recall that my tux shirt collar was very, VERY, tight. Coupled with stress and heat of setting up I thought I was having a low sugar attack. I had just eaten several (free) pastry that was put out for the show vendors.
The next week I told my doctor about it and he referred me to cardiologist. He ran several tests including the treadmill stress test. After all was said and done, he could not find anything wrong with me. So now I have a baseline for future reference.
Words of wisdom: watch what you eat (low in sugar and starch foods), exercise as much as possible, and lay off the sweets and candy bars. Have more sex, it burns calories...so you can tell your wife. Her response will be more like aren't the normal holidays enough? LOL
