Restart

Trying this again.  I would like to use this blog to catalog some recipes and maybe even try to start down the path of eating properly and getting my health back in order.  While the meds are doing the trick, I am not working with it but against it.  Stress and Depression have guided my choices.

Another Resource:

I have been so busy that I have tried to make good choices but have more or less fell off the band wagon.  Found this site and wanted to tag it here. http://www.diabetic-diet-recipes.net/

Ideas for Snacks

So dealing with hunger.... I googled and found this.  I can see this is going to be fun since I am somewhat lactose interolerant and have issues with nuts and popcorn.  LOL.... Diabetic Friendly Snacks  Oh well, I think once I figure out what works for me and rotate those items I'll do better.  Also I can tell that since I am finishing my monthly my sugar numbers are already looking much better.  I will have to read more on how that affects my diabetes.  I just look forward to getting this under control and hopefully loosing some weight.

First Posting....

While I have known that I have had diabetes for a couple months, I am just now coming out of my Diabetic Denial.  That may sound lame, but I was given a bottle of pills with no information.  I really had no energy to even to figure out what to change to make it to where perhaps the diabetes didn't control me.  I just thought ok, I will take these pills and then I'll feel better.  Well fast forward from October when I found out to this week when I went to a new doctor and its like my eyes have been opened.  I have suspected that my blood sugars are fairly high because I am fatigued all the time.  Like literally at some moments its like someone has unplugged me and I just can't get myself going again.  I went into this Dr being naive and thought I'll ask for a Glucose Meter and I will prove that my sugars were fine.  Well shock of all shocks my first reading was around 300.  :(  So, now its time to stop hiding under this rock and take the bull by the horns.  I am going to start reading and researching this thing and get myself healthier, for me and for my family.  I HAVE to.  I am tired of feeling this way, I am tired of being overweight.  So... this is my beginning entry in a blog I hope to have chopped full of recipes and whatever I come across.
