I went to see "Order of the Phoenix" last night and ate a big bucket
of popcorn by myself (my companion was supposed to share, but he
wasn't hungry). Came home and my blood glucose was 168. I felt like
crap. Made me re-think the whole movie going experience.

I have been reading the hypo/diabetic thread with interest, as I was
told to eat 45 grams (3 carb servings) per meal.

I'm going nuts...my family are all starchaholics, although m is
quitting sugar cold turkey on Aug 1 (which means she's going to be a
PITA to live with and she is going to be seriously holier-than-thou)
and I am going to be cranky.

I came in here to confess, because I have been seriously backslid
since the beginning of the month. TC and I went to Kansas City to the
Heinlein Centennial Celebration and I didn't check my sugar or pay
much attention to food choices there. While we were there we
discovered my mother-in-law has cancer (she called at
midnight...scared the crap out of me). I am too busy and too stressed
to exercise, especially since there's always something to do that
interferes.

How do you all cope with work and family and stress?
