Hi Tasha,

My BS goes up to the high twenties, especially if I go out for
dinner and forget my meds. I don’t know how I can forget I’m
a diabetic, but I do. From now on I’m not going to leave the
house without my meds and meter!

I’m not sure why, but I agree that insulin makes you gain weight.

As you I have had some surgeries; I had Cryptococcus in my
lung and the lung surgery has left me out of breath and to make
things worse my goiter was wrapped around my windpipe and
it was slowly choking me to death. Now that my thyroid is gone
I have synthroid, but not till the 20th of Aug. do I see my
Endocrinologist, he may be able to help me with my weight loss.

I don’t eat rice, potatoes, corn or fruit, except strawberries and
blueberries, when I’m being conscientious, but it is very difficult.

Sounds like you had a good dinner; I had home stewed tomatoes
with peppers, garlic, onions, and celery. My lunch BS was 6 and
I’m at 8 right now, so I have had a good day. I do get stomach
aches, but I thought it was the Metformin. I know when my
BS is low, as I see black spots and feel dizzy. I always feel good
when my BS is high. Your stomach ache may be caused from
thirst or hunger pangs, try drinking water if it gets too upset.

It is good to have a buddy as my family doesn’t want to hear
about diabetes…they are all very healthy.

My husband just asked me to go to the store for ice cream, I gave
him a bowl of cherries.

Kind Regards,
Gail
