I had my appt. with the diabetic counselor today. I now have a glucose meter of my very own. I was expecting that. I however am extremely surprised about how much my diet isn't turned completely upside-down. As long as I pay attention to what I am doing, I can eat pretty much anything. In fact, the amount of food that I can eat per meal, is almost twice what I would be able to eat, and I am allowed some pretty hefty snacks.
I don't generally eat snacks, because it is difficult for me to eat them at work (since I was accused of eavesdropping on the owners when I was eating snacks), so that may even help. I do get hungry between meals!
She did not seem terribly confident that diet alone would help me, but my blood sugar wasn't that bad during the spikes. If it doesn't then I have to try metformin first, which is what my mom is on. There is another drug I can try after that (which the baby must have eaten the brain cell holding the name of that drug), and then insulin, if neither of those work.
Anyway, that's it for the update!
Oh except for the part where I forgot to mention that I accidently locked my cat into my bedroom from 8 am til 2 pm. I now have to go search the room, just to make sure! I feel so guilty. This is the problem with having a fast moving, shadow colored cat!
