Good morning Gail...Hope you had a good night...I was up fairly late last night worried about my ultrasound today at 2:30....but once i was asleep i was okay....and didnt get up until almost 8 AM. I feel shaky this morning, my sugars a bit high, around a 12. I never feel good if my sugars are high or low...when my sugars are low, i get hot, sweaty, shaky and lose my eye sight, like looking threw a black tunnel or water. I have had my sugars go as low as 1.2 before, that is a horrible feeling...luckily i have never had a high as high as 33 again, actually now that i think about it i haven't been higher than a 24 since i have been told i was diabetic.
My grandmother had diabetes type 2, and like you, no one in my family understands or wants to hear about it....you are the first diabetic that i have ever talked to about it, and we are alot of like, so i am quite happy! Nice to talk to someone who understands and is going threw the same thing. I would have to say that being a diabetic is probably the worst disease that a person could have, food is our poison that makes us sick...most people never have to think if i have this piece of cake it could make me so sick i could die...it's not a nice feeling or thought...i know my mom is old school, everytime i see her she tries to feed me, and gets hurt when i say no...and is always followed by "oh a little piece won't hurt you."
I too have had many operations, not serious ones like you, but i have had 3 c-section, D&C, tubes tied, tubes un-tied, double hernia repair and vein surgery 3 times. My belly is starting to look like a road map with all the scars. Though right now, i am waiting until after the baby is born, to have leg surgery (i have really bad veins in my legs) the ropey kind. I have the spinal disease, and waiting to see a specialist to find out if surgery will be a future options...sick bunch we are...lol
Well i must run, make breakfast hungry this morning....going to have some corn flakes with berries...yummmy..
hey if you have any good ideas for diabetic meals would love to share some, i have some hear that i will post later today...
cheers, have a great day...tasha
