So my whole life I have struggled with low blood sugar and I was able to control it with eating and exercising. Now that I am 51 I now struggle with Diabetes. I'm not sure what went wrong as I can't think of anything I have changed over the years. I have put on extra weight, doing the same exercise and eating the same but the weight still came. So now I am having to change somethings and the doctors have really been no help. They just gave me a prescription and told me to take 1/2 a pill twice a day.
So now I am trying to learn as I add new things to my life. Eating and testing my blood sugar to see what foods raise or lower my blood sugar. It is a hard road and I don't see it getting any easier. They tell me it will and I believe them (sometimes)
This morning I woke up hurting and extremely tired. My blood sugar was 188 which is high for most but apparently it is low for me and it takes every bit of energy I had to get up, feed the dogs and cat, grab breakfast. The doctors said I will start to feel better as my body adjusts to the new levels. Right now I feel like a non-person.
I have to find projects around the house that I can do 10 minutes at a time because I have no energy. My body is just numb and it is hard to get motivated when numb. But I will work through this get over this hurdle.
Thank goodness for my yappy little dog as she knows the schedule and woke me up in time for my medication. I may still be sleeping if she wasn't in my face wanting to go out. PIA little dog but I don't know what I would do without her.
It really does feel good to get this written down. I feel a little motivation coming on and I can get in the shower and dressed. So I consider this a SUCCESS!
