so I called the dr. about this whole swinging numbers thing and they're like hey, didn't we get you into that diabetes education course and I'm like uh, no , never, I've never been scheduled for anything but

getting MORE MEDS. Oopsy

it's been 6 years you buttheads. Now I'm sitting at 207 this morning. I'm dizzy and my eyes are red rimmed and swollen, apparently from allergies so yah, my day is freaking GREAT. But i'm alive, kicking and

the boss was SUPERNICE to me. That alone is ominous

good job making that phone call! I hope you're able to get the info you need to help you reign things in. Have you considered doing protein drinks at least for breakfast?

MaryTeodosio : Yes but i wind up starving in like 20 minutes. so i don't eat right. I've got an appt at 845 in the morning now. I think the nurse was a bit freaked out, she's become a friend of sorts in that

office.

I'm glad that you're going in to see someone.

Maybe ask about a 'medical' grade protein drink? When I was on the liquid diet I never felt hungry after a drink. Just a thought.

she's getting me into a program and will have details later.

MaryTeodosio : I think I have one of those broken brain switches that is supposed to tell you when you're not hungry.

I used to be that way but I think the liquid diet fixed it.

in any case, be open about your difficulties maintaining a healthy diet and schedule. They're there to help you.

That's what I've been talking about - the education course was the best thing I ever did for the diabetes. Now at least I know what I should be doing, and can correct course when I go too far astray.

Yay for making that phone call!!

Vin : my doctor is a butt I need to change him

Dede Do you have an endocrinologist in addition to your GP? I went to an endocrinologist for a couple of years, he's the one that set me up on the meds. It is their specialty, so they're more aware new meds

Hilda : this is my endocrinologist
