The Mast Cell Block Tango

  Crazy tee shirt I have ordered. I am still working on getting the husband squared away. He's starting to get with the program more. I was wrong. It's actually been 12 years since I started popping my first high sugar readings. I don't know if mastocytosis affects blood sugar but I do not doubt it might. *scampers off to do a Googling* son of a biscuit it apparently does! Since I've been helping the husband and we've been going to and fro from the clinic and the hospital I've not done my usual diet routine. I've keep my blood sugars relatively stable by having a light breakfast, normal lunch and light snack for dinner. That's it, eating at regiments times with things I'm not allergic to that aren't filled with carbs or sugar. It works, right up until it didn't. The rub being I got pushed off my eating times by all the clinic too and froing. Low blood sugar, crawling in the bed in the afternoon and staying put. I am better now. The asthma is ...

  " You simply learn how to live among the ruins and call it home " It's not going well. More later. I am so stressed out by the endless medical crisis that is the husband. It doesn't help he is endlessly squeamish! No prostate or kidney cancer but also no insulin in the body, not great kidney function (he lost one to cancer 20 years ago!), too much calcium likely meaning the parathyroid cancer is back. Trying to help him with the reality of insulin shots, constant testing, the absence of bread in his life and a multitude of pills. I'm not taking care of myself well, my blood sugar kept dropping too low, so low I woke up throwing up last night. Not sleeping.
