My health
I am thinking it is time to go see someone about my diabetes... I have not done anything about it but take my meds everyday and I am starting to get concerned. My weight has ballooned again and I have been feeling pretty rotten. Very tired and yucky. A lot has to do with being so busy, but I am sure if I had my diabetes under control it would not be an issue. My real problem is that I don't have a doctor here that I like. I went to one last year, that I did talk about and I did not like him at all. But I just don't know who to go to. I just need to bite the bullet and do some research, I guess. After seeing pictures of my cousin, Nicole (Check out her blog to the right: The Rogers) I am totally jealous of how fit and gorgeous she looks and I want to look like that too! She hasn't looked that great since High School!!! (I hope this doesn't offend you, Nick!) Anyway, I have got to do something so I have more energy to work and babysit and keep up on my life. And I am sure that it is mostly my diabetes weighing me down... ok, you health nuts, and diabetes experts, what do you suggest???

I'm sure there are some women on Acadiana Moms who have diabetes so maybe ask there. It seems the busier I get the more weight I gain. How is that? Anyway good luck and I missed you yesterday I haven't seen you is a while.
Jenny...Thank you, you are so sweet. I have to admit, that the pictures on my blog are VERY flattering! I have lost some weight, but truly I don't think I look that good in real life. I still have so far to go. It must be so hard to struggle with diabetes. I hope you find a good doctor. Don't give up!
Sorry to hear you're not feeling the best. I'm sure the heat doesn't help any either. Good luck finding a doctor. I know it's frustrating finding one that will listen and actually get to the bottom of the problem.
I wish I had some great knowledge I could share to help you. Unfortunately, I don't. Big help, right? All I can say is that if you don't take care of yourself, it's hard to take care of your family. Make yourself a priority!
Just found your blog from your myspace page and wanted to say that your kids are beautiful and thanks for adding me as a friend over there!
Also, I had gestational diabetes with my daughter who was born last month and have several family members who have it. Don't have all the answers but would be glad to offer some support with the frustration of meds and finger sticks....msg me on facebook and I'll give you my e-mail if you like
Jen,
I am so sorry you are struggling with the diabetes. We have been going through this with Uncle Bob for the past few years.
We have come to the conclusion that it gets out of control when he is stressed, even a little. And when he is sick with anything!
Not sure it helps, but LESSEN YOUR STRESS! Be sure to take "me time", even if it's an hour in the bathtub reading a good book. I know you love to read!
We also went to a couple endocrinologist, we hated them all. Our family doctor was most helpful, knows Bob, knows his habits, complete health history, etc...Maybe yours can help out.
Hope it helps a little!
Love you sweetie,
Aunt Peggy
