You need to buy vegetables.

So I visited the doctor yesterday. I went in to the appointment expecting her to prescribe one of the new, expensive, inject able diabetic medicines. We had discussed one before. I had looked at my labs online and I knew I had not shown improvement in the last three months. My doctor says often my insurance does not approve this medicine. She also said my numbers were still "in control" and her belief is "the less medicine, the better." I know what I need to do, and what I need to leave off. I have developed a nervous habit so to speak of eating buttered saltines. Not because I am hungry, but because they are available, and that was a comfort food when I was a kid. I even ate them a lot during my first pregnancy. Just typing this is making me want to go get some. Doctor says rather than buying them, or paying for an expensive medicine she had rather I eat more fruits and vegetables. And that is reasonable. I had a really good salad for supper.
