Happiness!!

[Maya_Papaya]

This morning my fasting BS was 135!! An I mean I still got a ways to go but i was soooo happy with that!!

And then tonight, we didn't really have anything to eat much....I can't go shoppin' for more healthy foods until after august 1st when we have more money and so anyhoo....after a meal of spagetti...bout a cup sized serving....

are you ready for this?

I had to test three times just to be sure hehe

sure you're ready?

Better sit down heh






131!!

Wow!! I'm really impressed with myself, and I wonder if being out in the sun walking alot and playing with my dog for an hour this afternoon maybe had somethin to do with that ...and still I'm super happy, its the lowest number I've seen yet so it was a very encouraging one! Even if it's still not quite perfect or anythin.

I'm sure y'all are so tired of hearin me brag so I'll be quiet now hehe

Don't you dare be quiet. We love hearing the good things and the bad. You should be happy and impressed with yourself. Now you see what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it !!! Keep it up and brag all you want !!!

Congrats!!! Don't think that we don't want to hear from you! :D I'm happy to hear that you're doing better. :)

[kgm0612]

Good for you! I do better with either thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta then I do with Ziti pasta for some reason. I'm happy your blood sugars are coming down!

[Maya_Papaya]

Yep, actually it was angel hair pasta, because that's the kind that we like best, so I think it might be slightly better maybe....also we tried to include more meat and less noodles last night.

This mornings Fasting BS=124! Going dowwwwwn!! ~grins~

:congrats: Good job! And yes, playing with your dog for an hour and walking around did help. The effects of exercise can last for awhile after the activity is over. So, take the dog out for lots of walks every day!

[Maya_Papaya]

Tonight 2 hours after eatin....107!! Woot!

If I could stop feeling so tired all the time....I used to do the same amount of activity i do now, playing with my dog.....today i did bout 5 loads of laundry and there is a very long walk from my laundry room to all the bedrooms in my house.......but its happy for me, just wish my headaches and kinda cranky feelin' hurry up and go away....i wanna yell at my body to hurry up an get used to this its suposda feel GOOD! hehe im impatient lol

[Keezheekoni]

LOL I know you're feeling badly now, but just wait about a week or more so and you'll be feeling worlds better. :) Great post number, by the way! :congrats:

[Maya_Papaya]

This morning....lowest fasting reading ever for me!

110!

I wish I felt better these yucky side effects are driving me insane....but at least im happy bout these numbers going down...i mean that one's almost normal right?

~grinnns~

[Keezheekoni]

That's impressive Maya, you are definitely doing better than my husband...he's taking real baby steps getting his diabetes under control. He's not even really testing, since his doctor told him he didn't have to... :confused: What an idiot!

[Maya_Papaya]

I would go nuts!!

My doctor didn't say I had to test either, so I begged him to prescribe strips and meter for me anyhow, because I wanted to know what was going on with me, i wanted to be in control! I can't imagine NOT taking advantage of something that can only help me!

Then again I'm a bit of an obsessive control freak so it helps me to know little bits of info like this hehe

[Maya_Papaya]

Guess what now!!~giggles~

104 this morning woohoo!:D

[Maya_Papaya]

Under 100 for the first time this mornong!

94! ~happy dance hehe~

And on a side note, I seem to have lost around 5 pounds since 2 weeks ago! yay!!

[gettingby]

Very good results. It is obvious that you are doing all the right things. Keep up the good work. :D

[Keezheekoni]

Good job, Maya! I'm really happy to hear how well you are doing. :D

[slipperyelm]

Maya-papaya --Cute name! Reminds me of my friends Anna-Banana, Ellen-Melon, and Lina-Bean-a. My friends have to tolerate my silly rhymey food nicknames. ;) It sounds as if you are off to a good start. I think it was a good idea to get your doctor to prescribe a glucometer. Monitoring my blood glucose is the most motivating thing! It motivates me when BG are good and it motivates me when they are not so good. Nonetheless, sometimes I have slipped into periods of not testing. Turns out those were the times I slipped in other ways, too. So I am sworn to test, test, test! It really helps me to choose to eat right and to exercise.

I will test 2-3 times in a row when the result seems out of kilter.
