Diabetes and medications?
My kids have passed on their colds to me, and last night I took a dose of Nyquil and went to bed (to watch The Walking Dead again) and rest. I spoke to my Dad, who has diabetes as well, and he told me that Nyquil will spike my sugar and to speak with the DE about which drugs to take, Sure enough, my GL was 247 this…

Vision
So- I've managed to get my blood sugar down from the 340's to the 140-170 range since the 21st. This weekend was the first time I had it under 200 all day long. My eyes are freaking out! I can see, but I can't read very well- everything is blurry. Long distance is ok, (like to drive, etc) but even reading this computer…

Then something happened that forced me to reach a disturbing conclusion about someone I cared deeply about that saddened, but didn’t surprise me. I had to…

Spin made me cry today
And not because my butt hurts. (and it does.) I’m not a super emotional person. Well, maybe a little bit. My husband hates for me to watch the Hallmark Channel, I always cry at those “soldiers surprise homecoming” videos, and sometimes when I see someone accomplish a goal you can just tell that they are working really hard…

Cooking for Snack Shack
Tomorrow I have to go to our football/cheer teams snack shack and cook - all fried or grilled not to healthy foods. ARGH! I know I'm going to be so tempted. I will bring my own foods to eat for lunch, and I plan to stop cooking at 12:15 so i won't be TOO hungry, but I'm still worried! Any suggestions?
