Diabetes Stinks

I have had a rough week. It started Tues night when I went to a Girl Scout meeting. I got all shaky and I was sweating like crazy even though the air conditioning was like 50 degrees, I felt like I was going to throw up and I could hardly fill out the papers because I was shaking so badly. I left early because I just couldn't handle it anymore. I did not have my little sugar tablets, just a piece of gum, that luckily had sugar in it, or else I would not have been able to drive home. I got home and had a sandwich and I haven't felt right ever since. Of course, I am afraid to test my blood sugar and I am totally infuriated since I had no problems at all while I was pregnant. I thought that maybe I was getting over the whole diabetes thing. Maybe I never even had it! Maybe the doctor had been mistaken! But no... No I have to find a new doctor and go to him. I need to start watching my diet a lot closer again, and I should be checking my blood sugar twice a day again. I haven't checked it in forever. Stupid Diabetes. It is so dumb. I do not have time for this challenge. Oh, we decided against girl scouts since she is going to be starting activity days soon. It would be too much stuff. As it is she doesn't get home from school until almost 4:00 and then has jut enough time for homework. And heaven forbid she miss Hannah Montana!

I have heard that some women's diabetes actually gets better when they are pregnant! Too bad it doesn't last. You can get back on track but I am not a very good influence on you!! I will try harder. Vicki

My dad was diabetic for 20 years and tried to control by strict diet. He no longer falls in the bracket of being diabetic. I don't know how he did it, there are so many things I couldn't give up that are sweet. You better take care of yourself, you will feel much better once you get on track!!!!

Gosh, that stinks. I've watched Shana struggle with her son and his diabetes, and I'm amazed at how much work it takes to manage it. I hope you can get yours under control again. Feel better!

Diabetes totally sucks. Hunter had his worst A1C ever last month. We're trying so hard to keep it under control and we so totally suck at it. Mark hates it too. I don't know when the last time he checked his blood was. It's gonna be the death of us all, I swear. Sorry you're feeling out of sorts--hope you feel better soon.
