  1. Doing well today ...

    by on 05-31-2012 at 04:32 PM
    I have to say today was good day. My fbs was 136. I was very happy to see that. My breakfast read was 138 and my lunch was 129. I am very happy to see these numbers. I am also please to say that I went to my sons track banquet (not a real banquet) they had 38 pizzas and sheet cake. I can resist pizza no problem at all but sheet cake is my weakness. I sat and watched everyone eat that cake with a friend sitting beside me telling me how good it was. I so wanted just a thin piece but I don't have the ...

  2. Not feeling well this morning ...

    Yesterday I went to work. It was an overall pretty good day. I got to talk with a lady there who also takes Metformin but only 500mg 2-3 times a day. (I can't remember what she said). She said that her fastings are always high. I didn't think that was good but not my business/position to critique. I didn't do well with my eating while there.

  4. Start of a New Way of Life ...

    by on 05-28-2012 at 06:17 PM
    About me I'm a 46 year old married, Mother of 5 (two girls 19 & 8 and three boys 14, 13 & 11) recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I can't say that I am surprised. With each pregnancy after my first I had gestational diabetes. I was able to control it with diet with the next two (I didn't exercise at all), with the 4th I was on human insulin one shot a day and with the 5th I was on human insulin twice a day. After I had each child, I was told to just keep an eye on things. Each time ...

Going from the syringe to the Solostar® pen and a BD 5mm 31G needle made it a walk in the park. Problem was...that waiting for the clock to strike 'bedtime' was distracting. It was like sitting in a dentist's office
