i don't get it.

yesterday i was loving my blood sugar, it was in a good range, even after dinner it was okay ... except dexcom didn't think so. for about an hour it kept beeping, telling me i was low - but i was in the 80s and 90s.

so to be safe, i had a small snack before bed so i didn't drop too low, i had a level arrow on my dexcom but the numbers were slowly dropping a bit.

annnnnd this morning when i woke up dexcom said i was 352. WHAT?? when i checked, i was 311. WHY? i just don't get it. (i'm not that high anymore. thank god.)

11 years later, and this disease still baffles me.

nutella: my review.

so i just tried nutella. i got it at big lots on sunday because the whole store was 20% off and they had it - score!

all i had to try it with (besides a spoon. or my fingers.) were these frosted animal crackers ... at first i felt like the frosting was throwing off the taste a bit, so i just ate some by itself.

it's pretty good. i fall under the category of 'that tastes good and i'll have it occasionally but i don't need to have it on hand at all times and make sure i buy more when i'm about to run out.'

yes. i just made that a category.

party on, nutella lovers. you don't have to share much with me.
