sugar rush

My bloodline has a history of diabetes. This applies to both sides of the family, thus there is a risk of me having diabetes. My maternal grandmother died due to complications of diabetes while my father's cousin died of it as well. But so far, there has been no real threat yet. The only time I had a problem with blood sugar levels was when I was pregnant. But after that, my blood sugar returned to its normal levels. I used to keep on checking regularly until we ran out of testing strips.

This morning, I was at my uncle's house to return his car. We used it yesterday because it was raining and the baby and I only drove the motorcyle over. I hadn't had a drop of water or any food since last night and so I decided to check my blood sugar. The result was 57. That was quite low compared to the standard 75 to 100. I was shocked because last April, I was at 85. But I guess it was also partly because I had a light dinner. I only had two slices of thin crust pizza and three pieces of siomai.

I'm glad my sugar levels are okay, the bf has 104 and has to watch his sugar intake. My mom, on the other hand, has a very high level at 228. Although she had breakfast before she took it, still it's high. Her usual level was around 120. She is now banned from ice cream, chocolate and sweets which are her weaknesses.
