That's what I'm talking about

I hope every 1 had a great Xmas with family & friends & you hopefully got everything you asked for or wanted. I have been working on getting my sugar count down since I have been home & I THINK it's working for me. When I came home from the hosp I was in the HI risk area in the 500's & up, I started doing a lot of research & learning what foods to eat & what not to eat everyday. So since I've changed my eating habits & gotten off the sweets & watching what IN the foods I eat it's helping, I went from the 500's down to the 3-400's to the 2-300's & now I'm working into the 1-200'S I'm happy about that. I took my sugar count this morn & it came up 170 Now if I can JUST KEEP it there I'll be doing GOOD so when I go to the sugar dr in a few wks I'll be on the right track where they can do whatever it is they do. I'm so thrilled to see my #'s going down with my sugar you just don't know, I'm like a kid at the candy store for the 1st time, I've been trying to get here & NOW I've done it, things are starting to look up more better. It's just 9 am & I have therapy at 3 pm today & when I get back home I'll get me something to eat & take me a nap BEING my neighbor called me at 5;30 am talking about MY dogs barking & mine were asleep. Things here are going good for us, we went to terra haute to check on the panaling for the cabin kitchen & I told hubby he needs to get off his duff & get the trailer unloaded so we can get what we need with it. I ALSO told him I'd be HAPPY if we just got the KIT done, & I'm not going to wait till I'm dead to do it, he didn't like that remark & told me I'll get it done maw. So I'm fixing to get his butt outta bed to get started with 1 getting the dog food mixed up & get them fed & then have him call the recycling place to see what hrs they are open so he can get the trailer down there. I ALSO told him I have the $ to GET what we need to do what needs to be done, but can't do SH!T if the trailer is full of stuff that should have been gotten rid of WKS ago. So MAYBE I can get something going B-4 spring gets it's all inside work so weather isn't a factor in getting what needs to be done DONE. . . it's been LONG enough, it's been 5 mons since I've been home. He's had MORE than enough time to do what should have been done already, but he's just sitting around day by day I'M DONE waiting ! ! ! I'm not 1 to just WAIT & WAIT. I'm 1 that want's to get things done & get things in order just like my sugar & my health this is no different with getting the cabin done, there's NO excuse's ANY MORE.

it was, but something happened that put it BACK up to 475 again after I came home from therapy & ate it was like 6pm I had went to bed after I ate & took my Fast acting insulin & went to bed & by 9 pm I was up & took my sugar test again & it was 500, so I D K what to think or what to do, dr called today & asked if I was testing 2 hrs AFTER taking the shot & I told her I was doing it a hr AFTER so I though ok I'll take the test 2 hrs after taking the shot & NOPE. It didn't make a differance either way so I D K?? maybe I shouldn't have had the shurbert Icecream?

I am glad you are getting your sugar down, I hope you can continue. Tell your husband to get up and start doing what he has to do.

@2ndchances24 - Men are professional procrastinators. Everything they have to do is "tomorrow I will".

@VivaLaDani13 Fingers crossed & lots of prayers cause there's no telling what can happen, I found a book that talks about everything I'm dealing with on my health. It covers everything I need to know from my Bp to my cholesterol, heart problems Diabetes & the food to eat as well as my weight.

I'd be a lot happier if I could KEEP it down but it seems like every time I think I get it down it spikes by noon & haven't ate anything.

My wife is like that. She reminds me every 6 months what she asked me to do six months ago. I'm like, "I SAID I would DO it, you don't have to remind me every 6 months."

@2ndchances24 But a lot of the time it's senseless stuff. Not always. But a lot of times it is. It was like the time she was on me about washing the siding on the house. I was like, what do you do, just sit there all day thinking up crazy stuff for me to do that NOBODY in their right mind would ever think needs to be done? lol If YOU want the house washed, here's a bucket, rag and stick brush. Have at it. lol
