It's been so busy here.....

Diana, I am glad to hear that things are going well for you all, and that after the tough time she has been through Dae Lynn is doing great, I am really happy for her.

All we want for our kids is them to he happy and healthy.

I'm so happy that things are better for Dae Lynn too. I didn't realize just how tight things were for her until she started talking about what she could get now! I didn't know it was so bad. Also she won't have summer break from school where she didnt make anything. She got by with money she made from cleaning the church and trust me it wasn't much! I will say......she is good at managing her money!

I'm still not feeling well but am a little better. I think that I may be getting pink eye! Bummer!

I'm really upset about my diabetes. The meds that the doctor has me on is very expensive so I've got to find something that will help out.

I am glad things are going well! As for the insulin, it sucks, but at least it will help you keep things under control. My grandpa had diabetes and was on insulin. When my brother and I were little, he made us say "Ouch!" for him whenever he gave himself a needle, so he wouldn't have to lol.

I'm jealous that your spring has arrived! We have had a few nice days where we could go out without a jacket, but then in between we are getting pouring rain and even snow again! Mother nature can't make up her mind.

Diana, I know you hate taking the insulin, but it really does regulate your blood sugar better. Do you take it regularly - or do you take it when you eat? The best way is to give yourself insulin every time you eat, by counting the carbs you eat and then giving the amount of insulin that covers those carbs. That's how your pancreas works. But that is a big hassle, I know, unless you have an insulin pump which is great!

Gayle, I take a shot of Levemir at night.....28 units........and then I'm suppose to take 10 units of Novolog before each meal.....and I m having trouble remembering those. We're still in the adjusting stage so my numbers will probably change. I'm very frustrated with all of this

[Janet]

I am so happy for Dae Lynn!!! Being a single mother with two children is not easy financially and I'm sure she wants to make it on her own. She should be so proud of herself!!!!

Wish you were not having trouble with your blood sugar. I know it has to be a hassle for you but once you get it regulated you'll feel better. Think of you all the time.

I know it's a pain Diana, I truly do understand that part of it. Gary had to give himself insulin before every meal too. Later on, he was able to get an insulin pump so that really helped because he didn't have to give himself an injection every meal, he could just dial in the amount of insulin and push a button to give the insulin. That made everything much much easier.
