Loving Life with Diabetes

I have learned something this week.

Christmas shopping takes alot out of you and really messes up your blood sugar! I am really not use to being up and moving all day like I was this week. My sugars showed that fact. They went from high to low, to high to low so quick that I had to keep checking it just to be safe.

The doctor told me to spread out my shopping, unfortunately since my car died and I still don’t have all the money to fix it, I had to make due with rides and borrowing cars. So I was not able to spread it out and go when I normal would exercise. The good news is my sister has finally realized that I need to eat at certain times. So at least I was able to stick to that. A few weeks ago she was more concerned about the fact that she just had her baby and she wanted to get things done, then me having to eat.

So anyway, I think I have learned to take it easy, at least while I’m still on insulin, the doctor is hoping to take me off soon, but I hit a weight loss slump. Of course I’m not working out much right now, but I’ll start up again after the new year. At least I’m not gaining!
