Frustration & Peace

August 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what I am going to call this page but I felt like writing….so here goes!!  My daughter inspires me to keep writing as she likes to read my rattlings!!!  Bless her!!!  Isn’t it great to have a daughter like her???

I am trying to eat healthier and do more exercise…..whew…..that isn’t the easiest thing to do but I do need to stay on track!!!   The last few weeks haven’t been the easiest as I went back to the Dr. and he asked what my daily blood sugar was……WHAT???  NO one told me to check my blood sugar!!!  He couldn’t believe it and I couldn’t believe that he hadn’t said anything to me.  After all I have been going to him for over a year.  NOW if he thought checking my sugar was such an important aspect of my health WHY hadn’t he asked me that question before?? 

I ended up in tears and he then said,”Oh. I am a trained phychiatrist what is the problem?? ” Grrrrrrrrrrr…….so he had me go to a nurse practioner and had her show me how to check my blood.  YOU see….they say I have diabetis 2…..I use to be hyperglycemic and my AC1  count was above 6.7 then it got up to 7.4 and now is back down to 6.7.  I don’t want to take more and more medication so have been frustrated with  the addition of medication which HASN’T made me feel any better. 

So I trying to eat healthier and after a week of poking myself I have peace about the whole thing.  God will undertake and HE will help me and show us how to take care of my sugar.  My sweet daughter has given me a couple of books….the sugar solution and also a book on exercise…8 minutes a day.  NOW if I can just apply all of that information I will be on my way.  Our son told us the other day that cinnammon is also good for sugar!! 

I better quit and find something good to eat!! Celery anyone????
