thanks to Teena and Marie B for the encouragement! I am at work so I will have to wait until I get home to look for my meter. I appreciate your support to pick myself up and try again. My husband says we "train" ourselves not "try" so I will say I...
Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up...We realize our mistakes...we coreect it and try not to repeat it again. If we do...we are just humans...we make mistakes. But this failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you stra...
Debby, earlier this year we had a contest called "Simple Steps for Health", and there were some great ideas of how to get back in a positive direction for taking better care of ourselves. See the winning tips here. I don't think there's a single p...

Great idea - I didn't read about this until July 14 and will not have my kit with me @ 4 but it will encourage me to test more regularly. Right now it has been a few days since I tested - not good.
Hi Joanne - I am a newby to this site and happened upon your post - your numbers are really great! What caught my attention was your heel pain comment - I just saw a podiatrist this week and received a cortisone shot in my heel for plantars fascii...

- well this is my third go 'round with Plantar fasciitis so its chronic. The first time about 8 yr ago the cortisone shot worked great, The second time I got the set of 3 shots before it subsided. This time I've had the 3 shots and 6 weeks of therapy and still have pain ..... plus this time I also have Achilles tendonitis with it. Very frustrating. Do wear orthotics but am on my feet all day . I hope you enjoy it here. These are great people.

- Hi Debby, welcome at tudiabetes! And thanks for your comment on my blog post. I would be so happy with an A1c of 7.1 right now... but a goal has probably to fit a situation and the people dealing with it. For me a A1c below 7.5 would be great right now. For you under 7, for other people (e.g. women who want to get pregnant) under 6.5. I mean, an A1c of 6.5 would be great for me too, but it's not a goal I try to achieve right now, it would just be a discouraging too big step. Small steps are good.
And I think most people with diabetes hate counting at some point. ;) Just start, do what you can and try to stay on track. (And yes, endos can be pretty helpful, I think.)
I hope you have fun doing sports as soon as you're back at it & wish you all the best!

feel like a failure!
today I feel like a total failure regarding controlling my diabetes. I eat as though I am a "normal" person. Right now I don't even know where my testing kit is. I must find it tonight and start testing regularly. I am on 2000mg metformin for med. Usually my #'s are higher in the morning and better late afternoon. My last A1C was 7. Sugar I had yesterday . . . ice cream bar, big sugar cookie, french fries - oh my.
