Stop and don't ignore Clodfobble like I did. Get your blood sugar checked.

Yeah, I need to do that.

I used to monitor my sugar with one of those little meters that use the chip/card/thingie. My numbers were always a little high, but not outrageously so. Usually around 250.

But, yeah I need to get a little control over it.

250 is way too high. 70 is Ideal, but no lower. With meds and insulin I'm hanging around 100.

Two fifty is too high. Should be 97-120. Every time your sugar gets too high neurons in your brain dies and leads to Dementia. IMO.

I just tested mine, fasting this morning, and it's at 97. But these meters are considered accurate as long as they are within 20%. So I could be more like 115.

When I visit the doc, I'm always at around the 100 mark with their tests. sometimes over, sometimes under. But I have a little numbness in my big toes these days anyway.

A healthy person should be in the 70-99 range when fasting.
