Actually, i have been careful. it is that sometimes that a change in weather is all it takes to cause trouble.

Change in the weather? I had no idea. Scotley suffers from this malady aslo. You both have my sympathy.

Thanks, fortunately, mine is very well controlled by two pills a day and some care in my eating habits. I should get more exercise and lose more weight, but I'm moving slowly in that direction.

[sblock=change in the weather]
basically it affecs me like this:
with a set :
temp/humidity/work load/food intake

if any veriable signifigently changes such as temp and humidity, but food remains the same, the sugar usage and therfore control changes.

for example:

if i keep food intake (more specifcally carbs) the same but the temp and humidity increases making working conditions hard i use more energy, therfore fewer sugars in the blood. the result is a lower overall blood sugar level and with the insulin injection, that can suddenly drop if the work becomes exhausting.

when the food and insulin levels are adjusted accordingly, but the weather turns back to a cool dry work environment the sugars go high and the ability to exert work becomes extreamly difficult due to the conversion of sugars to useable energy becomes hampered.

does this make sense?

my doctor reminds me that this kind of action is to be taken as a marathon race, not a sprint ...remember it takes patience

Yes, makes sense. Sounds AWFUL, but makes sense.

Hey, folks. Looks like there's going to be some hurricane-y / tropical stormy action in my neck of the woods sometime tomorrow, so I may not be on for a little while depending on how power goes, etc. Feel free to NPC as necessary and I'll be back when things dry out.

[Friadoc]

Dang; be safe down that way, Jason.

Best wishes of luck and safety.

 

[Leif]

Jason, my sentiments regarding the dangers you face have already been adequately expressed in my/Scotley's "Constables of the 14th Ward" thread.

I have been through a hurricane in '85. I find them facinatingly deadly, much as a moth's attraction to a bug zapper. please be careful jason.
