I'm learning but still have more to go

[Janie]

My blood sugar had been as high as 375. Right now, I have it at 138.
Al says he sees a big difference in me when it's low but I think
that's just a given. I think clearer. I think what happened was too
much was goig on at one time...Al's job, David's surgery...and I
wasn't taking care of myself. It really scared me when my vision
blurred but it's almost completely cleared now.
I'm reading on on TypeII and keeping records. My sugar has been going
all over the place but I am even now beginning to learn what I should
and should not eat. My one treat is an ice cream Al found. I can have
a cup a night and they better not get near it! lol I take my sugar an
hour later and it does not significanly raise it so that's nice to
know.
Al made grilled chicken tonight (no skin) mashed cauliflower and rice
but I can't have much rice. We are learning to not look just at the
sugar content but the carbs and fats also. Protein is good for me but
I'm not yet sure how much cheese I can have. I experiment with one
food at a time so I know what ups my sugar and doesn't.
But, I can see now that I have had high blood sugar for a long time
now and didn't know it. I just had too much going on until my body
said STP! Take care of you!
It's just a new way of life. I know now I won't starve. I went for my
walk today and made it around the whole way. My breathing is better
and I feel better. So, I have to take care of myself and be in the
right frame of mind in order to help my family.
Grateful Janie

To borrow a phrase from Toddy:

Onya Janie! (AND you could get skinny on a diet like that...)
