Yay...Diana Gets Back Today!!!!

[Janet]

I can't wait to know she is home safe and sound and then to hear all about her cruise. I've missed her terribly.

Sure hope you took lots of pictures Diana!!!

[DianaB]

I've been home since Monday evening but I also came home with a head cold so it's going to be awhile before I give you all of the details. I will say that it was the best vacation we've ever had!!!

[DIANE W]

I am so glad you had a wonderful time, after everything you have faced lately.... you sure deserved it.

Looking forward to all the details.

[DianaB]

I didn't feel well all last week. Some of it was the head cold and some I think was from just being tired after the trip. I didn't do hardly anything......even my suitcases are still laying in the bedroom unpacked. Glen and I haven't done anything with the pictures yet but we will have them together in a few days and I'll get some on here! Everyone's been so excited about his scuba diving pictures that I haven't even looked at what I took......which isn't as exciting as his!!!

I will say that I'm finally feeling so much better......but my blood sugar is really not good. I'm hoping that a little exercise and moving around will help it......if not......then I'm headed to the doctor. Bummer!!!!

[Janet]

How are you feeling now Diana? Your blood sugar levels okay? I've been meaning to call you, just haven't done it yet. Can't wait to hear about your trip and see the pictures.

[DianaB]

No.....they aren't any better. I just haven't felt like getting the pictures on here right now. I'm so worried about my BS. It's been over 300 (normal is around 100 to 130)and won't go down. The doctor gave me some meds and they weren't doing anything so I called her office on Friday and she started me on another med. So far it's not working either. I go back in on Thursday. She's talked about insulin and as a diabetic that's not something that you really want to go on until it's a last resort.

I thought that I was just having trouble recently but my A1C was 11.1 (that is a three month average of my blood sugars. It's suppose to be around 7.) That's on the high end of the chart and with numbers that high it's doing damage to my body and organs. I took an over the counter A1C test with Glen in Feb. and it was exactly 7. Since a home test can be unrelieable I took another test after I took the one at the doctor's office to see how it compared and it was high too.......a little higher than the doctor's reading. So I think that something has gone wrong since Feb to make my blood sugar high.

I've been on the Atkins diet and have done really well. I know that it helps with my BS but now nothing seems to help. I'm just ready to figure this out. I'm pretty worried about it and Glen's more worried than I am. I hate this getting old!!!!
