I had one yesterday, and I got a good yelling at. Apparently, it did some good, because today my blood sugar was 106 in the mornng. That's the best it has been in a few weeks.
Yesterday, I did very well food wise, and I have been for the last few days. I plan to continue to do that.
The doctor did say one thing to me that really hit home. It is probably the entire reason my health is so bad.
He said I am stubborn.
Yeah, me, stubborn.
And I gave that a lot of thought since.
Despite all the evidence to the contrary, I do whatever the heck I want to do.
That's stubborn.
I shouldn't have cookies, candy and other sugary stuff. Really, no one should as any more than a very rare treat. I certainly limit my intake, but still have way more than I should. About the only thing I do right is not seek out the crappy alternatives like all those sugar free chemical laden foods.
I eat too much, even though I have been on so many diets.
That's stubborn.
Is food stronger than me? I say to myself that I'm weak, when the truth of the matter is that I am strong, to the point of being, uhhmm, stubborn.
Damn, could the doctor have been right?
For today, I'm working on that. My blogging buddy, Doc Nicole of Kitchen Table Medicine, has a bunch of information on diabetes. I know all about the disease. It's time to deal with it.

You can't deal with the problem until you know what it is.
I know my limits as well as the areas where I'm undisciplined.
So when it comes to thinks like ice cream, cake, and cookies, if I don't buy them and bring them home, I can't eat them whenever I get the urge.
That's the only way i know of to avoid the foods that are bad for me.
Here's hoping you much success on your road to recovery.
@ Paul: Thanks. I rarely bring them in my home, but still more than I should, I guess.
It's a work in progress
