I have a friend who told me, after finding out I was diabetic, that “being told you are diabetic is probably the worst thing in the world”. And I have to admit, 2 months ago, I would have agreed with her. Shoot, look back at some of my posts about being diabetic and I did [...]
Is it Apnea?
The current time is…6:45am and I am up…on a Sunday. So not normal for me…except for the fact that I had to go do a sleep test last night. Let me tell you, I was extremely anxious to do this. The thought of someone WATCHING me sleep was pretty darn creepy. Especially since that someone [...]
Blood Sugar Testing
I am now testing my sugar 5 times a day and keeping a log for my doctor This past weekend I had an episode where I got a blinding headache, blurry vision, and I felt very nauseous. I googled and realized I was probably have high sugar issues. So I called my doc first thing [...]
My Weight Loss Journey and Fenphedra
A couple months ago I posted that I was going to lose 100lbs. Part of my weight loss plan included the use of Fenphedra to help curb my appetite and ultimately lose more weight. However, between starting the Fenphedra and now, I’ve had some health issues…which if you regular here, you would know…that includes me [...]
I May Have Sleep Apnea
As if finding out I am diabetic and insulin resistant has not been ENOUGH of a lifestyle change, let’s throw in a CPAP machine and totally mess with my life. Yes I’m aware that I am being overly dramatic, but come on already. I find out I am diabetic and insulin resistant right before my [...]
So Sick of Restaurants that are NOT Accomodating
This evening we went to a Chinese restaurant with my husbands family for his grandma’s 83rd birthday (happy birthday Sitti!). There was 21 of us. Now Chinese is always tricky for me in the carb department, but I’ve learned to ask for all white meat, non-breaded chicken as my chicken. My FAVORITE dish is General [...]
When Daddy’s Away, the Kiddies….
…drive mommy to drink. OK so before you go call CPS, I’m not really drinking. I’m diabetic, remember? That would SO not be good for my blood sugar. But I am drinking a lot more Diet Mt. Dew…my drink of choice these days. First night daddy was gone, my daughter decides it is a GENIUS [...]
My Diabetic Diet
I’ve gotten a few emails and comments asking what exactly I do for the Diabetic diet. So I decided to post it for you all to see since I am having such great success on it, both with losing weight AND keeping my sugar in check. When I was pregnant with my daughter 5 years [...]
Blood Work Test Results…Interesting
If you’ve been following along with my blog, then you know about my diabetes diagnosis. I’ve been less than thrilled with my primary care doctor for quite awhile. He’s one of those that likes to tell his patients that everything is fine when you have a question. For example, my kids saw him too (he’s [...]
Diabetes and Me
As most of you know, or well those of you that read my blog regularly, I was just recently diagnosed as Insulin Resistant and borderline diabetic. The doctors are being generous with the “borderline” part. Technically my fasting blood sugar levels put me in the diabetic range, but I think they are trying to see [...]
