caprifoglio said… - Remember to stand back and give yourself credit for doing what you do to keep yourself healthy -- being diabetic is a lot of work, I think I may just be starting to move past the "honeymoon" phase and experiencing for the first time the frustration of unpredictable "all over the place for no reason" readings. We are kind of asked to be superhuman, in my opinion, to try and think like we're our own pancreas, after never really being acquainted with it before! Hang in there...Delete Comment
