A Whole New Level Of Crazy

I'm hypoglycemic. I've had to deal with low blood sugar since I was 16. It's a pain in the ass, but I deal with it by watching my diet. (Why does looking at the word "diet" make me suddenly want a Krispy Kreme donut?)

I'm also 27 different kinds of crazy, which is one reason why I'm so highly medicated. I've been crazy for quite a while, though, and thought I had long ago discovered all the ways in which the craziness manifests itself. However...

This past Saturday night, I tested my blood sugar shortly after dinner. The meter said 141 mg/dL*. I said, "Nuh uh!"

TheMister said, "What?"

I said, "It says my blood sugar is 141! There's no way that's right!"

He said, "Well, you just ate dinner..."

I said, "Oh. Okay."

It took me a couple of minutes to realize why what I thought was basically batshit crazy, in a totally new and different way.

I thought for a brief moment that A MACHINE LIED TO ME. A machine. Lied to me. Why? I have no idea. Just to fuck with me, I guess.

Yeah. So now I'm apparently paranoid in addition to all my other (regular) kinds of crazy.

Hooray!

Happy Monday!
