Not good.......

DianaB · 06-23-2011, 02:59 PM

I know that you're right......it's just hard to do. When I had diabetes while I was pregnant with Jaci it was so much easier to follow the diet because I did it for Jaci......but now.....it's harder to do it for myself!!!

My A1C came back at 8.1 so I'm headed in for another blood test tomorrow for something and another test next week on something else.

The good news is......that I DID start the Adkins diet this morning. If I can get some weight off it will sure help things out!!!!

Diana, 8.1 is not terrible at all - don't worry too much. If you test more often, and watch what you eat, it will come down. If you are able to lose some weight, it will come down ever more. Some people are walking around with an A1C of 12, so you are not too far from where you need to be!

It's not easy, but it can be done. Exercise will really help too - you would be amazed at how much it lowers the blood sugar! Simply walking is great! Swimming would be great too!

I started the Adkins diet yesterday so hopefully I'll start losing weight soon. That will also help my blood sugar and other stuff. I went in and took another blood test this morning.......it made my arm ache!!! I going to go and check the pond and see if it's ready for swimming!!! I sure hope so!!!!

Diana I am sorry to hear that you have some medical concerns, but I to have faith in you and you can do it.. It is not an easy road to loss weigh but with a little willpower and lots of discipline you can do it.. You are young and just think of Glen, your children and grand kids whom all love you very much and what you to be healthy.

Once you start losing weigh it will start getting easier and try walking that is great exercise. Btw if you have a zumba class by you grab a friend and go you will have a great cardio workout and it is so much fun....

Keep us posted and we are here for you to keep you motivated...
