Chuck shares a story about the time he tested his blood sugar after eating Reese's peanut butter cups and the results were off the charts. The doctor he spoke to said he must have still had chocolate on his fingers, which mixed with the blood, in order to cause that high of a reading.

00:00uh remember the other day we talked about anal rejuvenation we did well believe it or not one
00:11of our listeners pretty much had that done okay she says hey guys i love the show please keep me
00:18anonymous so i had that rectal surgery a few weeks ago she said basically butthole surgery
00:24they had to fix some anal fistules and fissures i just want to say to your listeners whatever you do
00:32if you ever get this done even if you're curious looking in your online patient portal
00:39do not i repeat do not read the surgical notes what the heck do they say because curiosity got
00:49the best of me and let's just say the first lines were horrifying and now my fiance mocks me by
00:55repeating them i don't know where she goes i didn't know you could just look at your surgical
01:00report oh no it's that uh yeah that chart yeah i got like a some kind of chart that i go to and i
01:09read everything it actually has scared the bejesus out of me i think three or four times where i was
01:14like okay that's because i'll get results with no explanation and i'm like well that number doesn't
01:20seem right and then i have to research all what does that mean uh-huh i'll read the blood test like
01:25you were saying and it's like there's stuff i don't even know about and i'm like oh no that's
01:28off the charts and i started i'm like well my liver's failing i oh yeah i've like read all the
01:35different things and i'm like well the doctor didn't call me so that's it maybe that call maybe he
01:39knows more than me when i question my doctor about it i'll say this number what is this he gets so
01:46irritated yeah i can tell he's like oh come on if i there's something wrong i'll let you know
01:50yeah worry about it probably just like i went to school for that did you you went to google
01:54yeah i went to school though well that's like me when i like you know i tested my blood sugar one day
02:02and it was absolutely off the charts and uh set me on my whole path of like doing all this stuff and
02:10um i was like man i'm just killing myself eating these uh delicious treats and then when i finally
02:17got my doctor's appointment i was like hey listen do you think you can check for all this stuff and
02:21he was like oh we do every time he's like yeah let me let me show you and like he went in and he's
02:26like no you don't have it he's like you don't have anything going on i'm like hmm well i should
02:32have probably reached out and then uh turns out uh so like right before i decided to do this i was
02:38eating like little tiny rhesus cups oh before you yeah and did it yourself god there's probably his
02:46he was like you probably that number's so high you probably had rhesus cup on your finger
02:51what your blood is pure rhesus cup he was like he's like the only way yeah he's like the only way
03:03that you could have possibly gotten a number that high is if your blood legitimately mixed with the
03:11sugary chocolate of a rhesus peanut butter cup on you and i was like i guess it's possible
03:17i mean i did i did eat six of them
03:22yeah but what's nuts but like i i that day made me lose 32 pounds you know what i mean like that
03:32day that moment that was a shameful moment that was like it scared me i was like oh man he was
03:38gonna die what was your sugar at i'm just curious like what the number was with the three peanut butter
03:43278 or whatever 278 what's the normal i don't know it's normal normal is like 80 something yeah
03:53that sounds about right the blood sugar level of less than 140 is normal right so
03:58yeah so i legitimately you didn't call the doctor i just went on a diet right into action he googled
04:10that i was like i'm not losing any feet and i went right into that yeah that's what i did it was
04:15google i googled it that is in the red of pure diabetic and uh i was like holy cow and yeah i was
04:23really took it really serious and um but but okay so compression socks no i went i went i bought like
04:35i was using some crappy uh old thing that i bought like a long time ago so i went all in i bought all
04:43the supplies i bought supplies uh yeah because i was like i gotta check this like that's insane i gotta
04:50like be on top of this and then my next next one was like 78 and then i did i'm like oh i must had a
04:57good time then i did it again and i was like oh 80 89 damn peanut butter cup fingers what in the world
05:04i never came anywhere close i've never heard of that anywhere close to that reading that i got
05:10and it was um so yeah so my doctor definitely to the doctor what i should have done no no no it's
05:20even easier than that at least i should have just taken another one like and done it again what was
05:27so you waited a long time to take another reading no no what i'm saying like that that moment when i
05:32did it and i was like oh my god it's 278 instead of saying oh that's so high something must be wrong
05:39i should do this again i just went right into full-on panic change your life instead of like
05:46you know what i was just eating reese's cups let's wash my hands and then do this again
05:52and you decided to test yourself just after eating reese's cups yes
05:57well i felt like after reese's cups is my normal daily diet that was at the time
06:06he's probably thinking about having another reese's cup but he's like maybe i have to take my blood
06:09sugar first make sure i'm not too crazy i also am a little in doing it all i became very like
06:16fascinated by like what different things would do to me sugar so like i learned a lot about myself
06:21right in this whole um and some diet changes yes like i like my favorite treat i have not had since
06:30was the fasting all because of that yeah 100 so you just really well you have to understand at least
06:36okay so this it's like a triple whammy of things that have like we're talking about i go to like my
06:41little chart and it's like your liver oh yeah is right the fattest liver i've seen liver i had fatty
06:49liver fatty spleen i mean i sounded like i sound like a grandpa right now i'm talking about all this
06:57stuff i gotta really be careful here i'm sounding ancient but um yeah so there's like a few things
07:03that i'm like okay that's it this is that was like the last straw i was like if i don't do something
07:08now i'm gonna be dead and then i went ahead and kept and i was like man i don't think i have anything
07:13i don't oh well there you go there's your tip of the day don't get your blood tested
07:18with peanut butter cups on your fingers i'm telling you man wash your hands this man's blood's 75
07:24reese's peanut butter cup i can't believe you took it this long to tell us this in the medical journal
