Update on my diet, diabetes and food woes- it is good news this time!

Hooray!!! I lost 5 pounds and my A1c was 4.0! What a good week for the diabetic me. The doctor was happy with this and so am I.  I honestly didn’t believe it. But I will take it.
So yes the scale finally moved. 5 whole pounds- honestly I think it is stress of recent. But […]

Journal 6/21/08- How low can you go?

Boy oh boy- what a week. Lets see… I passed out at work due to a bloodsugar of 38- go figure. It was AFTER I ate lunch and was back on the floor/nursing. What the heck is all I have to say? Thanks goodness I am a nurse and my fellow nurses didn’t freak out […]

Journal 6/14/08- On to smoother waters!

This week was very crazy around here- really quite sad. We had several deaths in our close nit community and at my workplace. With that being said…  was virtually non existent around the blogging front. Apologies!
For the week- my bloodsugars were very very very low. Did I mention that they were low? Like 62 and […]

Stress, diabetes, food, exercise and fatblogging

Ok, so it has been an interesting week here.  I am not sure if it is the high stress level here, or the lack of concentration on my part but oh boy the bloodsugars have been oh so bad! I single handily went from having my average sugar in the 90’s to struggling to keep […]

Long time no see- diabetic and food journal and a great blood pressure!

Oh boy, it has been a while since I journaled on here. First, the big change. I have now started checking my blood sugars twice a day- in the morning and before bed.  My sugars have been so good as of the last few months that I feel confident in my decision. My readings have […]

So…. my diet was for the birds. I had a lot of peanut butter […]

Journal 4/11/08- I dislike my scale- yet again!
