Working on my Diabeetus
Everyone has all these fancy weight loss threads (what happened to our spreadsheet with weights?) but instead I am going outside the box!
I started tracking my blood sugar on paper a few months back when my wife and I decided to start trying to have children. My doctor had been yelling at me about my A1C numbers for a while and had suggested that seeing them on paper would make it more obvious how good/bad I was doing with my numbers. I am expanded this into tracking through Google Docs so I can run a few scripts on it and get some more numbers (charts to come later).
So if anyone is interested in looking at my numbers (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0At75E0tSsx_RdHhKZlFxanUyNEkzSklfNkxFN0ZPdUE#gid=0)
Also I am open to suggestions on improving my management of my problem. I have recently started to try to really get into more of a high protein, mid-fat, low carb diet. As for watching that (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/D3k0y) I do tend to bend the rules a bit, I still have a bit of a sweet tooth that I have issues keeping a handle on.

Stick to a good diet and you'll outlast your kidneys.
PS Unless you're on insulin/a sulfonylurea/something else random I'd not bother with RBG testing, HbA1c gives a solid average that correlates well with microvascular damage without spending the earth on lancets/test strips.
