Well I brought a large book and magazines and curled up in one of the comfy chairs as I waited to repeat the process over and over. The nurse could not find my tiny vein so I ended up getting stuck with the darn needle countless times. I walked out feeling like an addict with all the pin pricks in my arms!! I was so light-headed even after eating lunch I had to leave work. I think I came close to passing out! Oh well, it is over....and that evening the nurse called an informed me I could very well be diabetic! That explains a lot about my diet and problems with diet in the recent years.
Sadly , I do constantly crave sugar or sweet things so I created a makeshift recipe. This is kind of a twist on the classic meringue puff (or forgotten cookie). To make it you take egg whites and whip them with a mixer until you have stiff peeks. Simply add whatever number of egg whites you desire. One egg white makes roughly 4-6 cookies. I usually use 4 or 6 egg whites, then add one pack of sweet-n-low for each egg white. If you can have sugar you can add vanilla or almond extract. I leave it out. When the whites are stiff, spoon the mixture onto baking sheets and bake at 325 degrees for 15-18 minutes. My oven cooks hotter than normal. *I must warn you these are tasty to me, but that is coming from someone who never has sugar! So for an Oreo eater they probably leave much to be desired.
