Day #78: Laughing matters - yes it does.
Well I tried to get an early night last night, and did relax for the the most part, but it must have been after 11pm when I finally got off to sleep. I did feel OK today though, so it must have been enough.
My sugar this morning was 3.3, which if you ask me is a little low. There’s no pleasing some people is there? But seriously, that is pretty low.
Here’s what BC Health has to say on it:
Fasting blood sugar levels are measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/L). A fasting blood sugar level of:
- 3.9 to 6.0 millimoles per litre (mmol/L) is normal.
- 2.8 to 3.8 mmol/L is mildly low.
- Less than 2.8 mmol/L is very low.
But guess what - even at 3.3 no shakes or sweating, which, as I’ve mentioned before is what would happen to me previously if my sugars got anywhere in the sub-5 region. So that is an encouraging sign for me, the fact that my body itself isn’t worried. If it was, it’d be telling me to do something about it by sending out the alert signals of shakiness, faintness and sweating. That’s what Doctor Chris thinks anyway.
I went to get my blood re-test done this afternoon for the genetic Haemo Chromatosis test, so hopefully it won’t get screwed up this time.
This evening I went to the Sparwood Search and Rescue meeting and we watched an informative video about how a Search and Rescue operation is responded to, pleanned and executed. Very informative. An then we had alittle introduction to map reading. It was kind of a refresher for me from my old days in the cubs and scouts - it all comes back somehow 
My wife and I just watched a spiritual circle movie which was a documentary on the “Laughing Club of India”, about a doctor that has set up quite afew laughing clubs in India to promote health. Laughter is the best medicine after all. Good little film if you get a chance. Here’s a taster of what you can expect, from someone I grew up laughing at:
Well, I hope that brightened your day a little. It did mine. I’m off to bed to now ready for another day closer tomorrow.
‘night.
