DIABETES SUCKS!!!!!

I think it has been almost a month since I have posted. But if I thought March was busy, wait until you hear about April.

About the time I did my last post, something happened, I got really sick, I was so tired I couldn't get up, I was dizzy, I was drinking atleast 3 bottles of water an hour, I was so thirsty I couldn't get enough. I got to the point I couldn't think. Next thing I know, Im OUT!!!!!! What happened???? Well my blood sugar level shot up above 450!!!!! Normal for me should be 100 to 150. I had lots of test ran and then was told, DIABETES!!!!! Thanks alot!!!!!

A couple days later, I couldn't see anything, it was like I was stuck in a fog, I couldn't read, I couldn't hardley see to get around the house without getting dizzy, and worst off, I couldn't drive. I had to have someone drive me, at work all I could do was answer phones and take messages with a bold point sharpie on a legal pad, then maybe I could read it.

Now a month later, things have come back to normal, well some things, my doctor has put me on a very strict diet, I eat all veggies, a few eggs here and there, water, and sugar free every and anything. I have lost alot of weight, that is the best part about all of this. I have lost 20 pounds this month!!!!!!!! I'm just taken in my dresses until I can afford to buy new ones. OH did I forget to tell you, I have no health insurance either, thanks to my ex-husband!!!!

Well my doctor is a real gem, he is given me sample medications until I can get on something I can afford. So besides getting stuck several times a day, Life is Good!!!!

Oh my , i hate to hear this. Diabetes is a very serious disease and you really need to take good care of yourself especially at your young age. Cliff has been a diabetic for many years. I do hope you continue to take good care of yourself and follow your diet. I know it's going to be hard but you can do it.
