I think changing eating habits is the hardest part of this venture. At least for me it is.
It seems most of my life all I have had is carbs... I survived on sandwiches and potatoes and all that good stuff that I must minimize now.
I did discover that oatmeal is my most difficult thing to have to give up. After a bs of 190 2 hours after eating, I can only imagine what it was 1 hour after! AAArrrggghhhh!
I have an appointment with the hospital diabetes educator December 6th, so I'll know more then.
Other than all of this going on... we had an interesting Sunday night. Our smoke alarm went off and our home alarm system called the fire department cause our chimney was blocked and smoke was filling our home. Firemen came and cleared everything, children had to be taken outside and the firemen cleared out the fireplace...
As they were leaving, they backed into my husbands truck! 
I got the children down on their knees beside our bed and we all thanked the Lord that nothing further happened and that we were all together. WHEW! What a week we've had!
I can sympathize with you.My daughter 12 is a type one diabetic and i had gestational when I was pregnant. Now my daughter handles everything in stride she even draws up her own insulin and gives herself her shots. Now when I got diabetes when I was pregnant it was HARD to control those carbs as I am a carb junkie! I'm glad you are seeing a diabetes educator. My "mom" has diabetes and she was pretty much left to her own devises as far as learning how to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteThe term mom is in quotes because my bio mom died when I was twenty four and her best friend, realizing that I still needed motherly advise and such, adopted me as her own. Just goes to show God never leaves us without help :)
