Me and my Diabetes

5/6/08

I had my diabetes class today, it was my second one. I've lost 3 lbs, I'm so happy. I learned today how important it is to keep track of my food intake, it's all up to me if I would like to feel better. I honestly went in for my diabetes ck up a few weeks ago, and I flat out told them I felt as though I was going to die, that's how bad I felt. I seem to be doing better now that my blood sugars are under control. I got my "deal a meal" out that Sandy got me 20 years ago, so I can keep track of my food much easier. You know Richard Simmons... I knew that thing would come in handy. I have 2 more classes to go to, and the instructor Sandra is teaching me a lot. I'm really glad I went. They also put me in compressed hose, you know the kind your grandmother
wheres....lol...and I go get my 2 pair of diabetic shoes next Friday.
This will give you a laugh, I'll look just like my grandmother, compressed hose on to my knees and big ass black shoes!!!!! I told everyone I was going to were my house coat to bring my point across.
Me and Sandy can't quit laughing about it. So first I was may mother about 4 months ago when I went down the electronics isle and all knew was the calculators, had no clue what anything else was. It gets better, now I'm my grandmother who had diabetes also, I see her in the kitchen making biscuits with her house coat on, hose to her knees and big ass black shoes.....hahahahahahahahaha That is too funny. But the funny thing is my left leg hurts alot less with the compressed hose on, I don't know how it work, I know it just works. I'm am really thank full to my Dr's, they are really trying to help me out, and they really care. So that is the latest in my medical portfolio.
I go back to the foot doctor next week and the dentist, I'll let you know how that goes.

Hope all is well in your world.

much love
