Health update

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

Okay guys. I went to the doctor today and got my report.

....

Here we go. Last month, my sugar was at 303 and today it was to 136. Great! Still have to take the pills, but keep doing what I've been doing. I also lost 13lbs! This made me excited! Just think that much every month and I'll be down under 200 by the time I see the doctor again in 3 months. I showed my doctor the spot on my leg that I forgot about last time. She says it's psoriasis, but that it sometimes happens with diabetics. I've had this spot for about a year if not more. She gave me a prescription cream that I'm going to fill tomorrow with my diabetes pills. It bites having to wait to get paid to pay for these as I still don't have any insurance. My boss is aware that I'm diabetic but still she won't put me on insurance. I guess I'm not worth it. Ah well. New job or book published this year - that's another one of my goals.

I went to church tonight - since I had the night off, which was odd. I asked they pray for me since all of this is hard and I'm struggling with not going back to the way I was. But with everyone's prayers and my not wanting to be on insulin, I know I can do it!

I hope all of you are doing well. Happy Easter! Eat some Cadbury Eggs for me!

YAY!!! Keep up the good work. I'm praying for you. Thanks for keeping us updated. I totally understand about no insurance - I don't have it either and it can be problematic at times, but we know that God takes care of all the detials of our lives.
As for Cadbury eggs, sorry, but can I just say "ugh." I am a huge chocolate fan, but those are way to sweet for me - love their commercials though.

Hey Esther, loving the report. Way to go! Officially, not eating bad things is HARD, but we'll get through it! I had my Cadbury binge today (srsly, omg) but tomorrow it's the serious dieting, because tbh, I'm sick of being the fat one in photos and it's getting silly. I've spent too long sitting on my ass and letting it get out of hand! So, dude, I feel your pain! If you need a diet buddy, I'm your girl <3 And by the summer, we'll be super hot and fighting them off!! xxxxxx
