Good Morning . . . :wave:

I was up way too early this morning -- terrible night last night; just could not sleep -- guess I was thinking about my fun trip to the Periodontist this morning and hoping the roads are in good condition over the top of Mount Thom. We don't have a local Perio, so every six months I have to drive about an hour to get to one in Truro which is the other side of the mountain. Getting there can be tricky at this time of year. Weather is dull and well below the freezing mark again this morning. The highway can be perfectly fine on both sides and a sheet of ice on top. :( Taking LouLou with me -- she shops while I suffer -- then we both eat too much and come back home. OMG, my life is so fascinating. :p At least my BGL was an okay 5.5 (99) this morning. :lol: Something tells me it might not finish up that good later today.

Hopefully I'll be back to chat later . . . have a great day . . . :carrot:

Goodness where is everyone . . . :dunno:

Well I definitely made it back from the Perio appointment (there was snow on top of the mountain, but no driving problems) and I definitely ate too much at lunch -- guess I just can't stand to have my teeth that clean for very long. :lol: . . . BGL ended up at 9 / 162 yesterday and started at 7.2 / 130 this morning . . . yuck . . . Certainly glad this is a brand new day.

Hop to see you all later . . . :wave:

Hi all! My name is Mary and this is my first post here. I've been a member of 3fc for a long time but just now posting in the diabetes group. I'm a 32 year old mom of 1 DS who is 13months old. I am type II diagnosed about 2 years ago. Was on insulin for a year to get BG under control before getting pregnant and then the whole time I was pregnant.

I was on 2 metformin 2X a day for a year and my avg BG was about 160. I started Januvia yesterday in addition to the metformin and my highest BG for the last 24 hrs has been 112. I'm excited about that. I hope it continues to stay that way.

I hope to get to know you all better very soon. Have a great day!

:welcome: to the group MOMMA . . . we will be looking forward to getting to know you better. Up in the STICKY area at the top of the Diabetes Forum you will find a thread called "Getting to Know You". You will find information about most of the regulars in there and hopefully, you'll post a bit more about your background too.

Glad to hear that the new Januvia is bringing your BGL into line so nicely. Way to go. Hope that you, Ben, and Will have a great Turkey Day tomorrow. See you soon . . . :wave:

HAPPY :turkey: DAY to all my US buddies . . .

. . . and a great big HI for everybody else, too.

Fairly cool and very overcast around here . . . nasty blizzard going on in New Brunswick but we are just supposed to be getting rain in Nova Scotia -- hope they are right. Even though my shopping is done . . . this is the normal shopping day for my buddy and me; and I know she wants to get lots of stuff yet. BGL is 7.2 (130) again this morning. Strange, since last night at bedtime it was 4.8 (86). So help me, I will never, never totally understand this disease.

Sooooo . . . I'd better get a move on and get ready to pick LouLou up for shopping. Even if you don't feel bushy-tailed . . . hope you are all really bright-eyed all day . . . extra :coffee: should help. :lol: Have a great one, gang . . . :grouphug: See you later . . . try not to eat tooooooo much nasty stuff.

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the unexpected addition of SNOW!! We live in Texas and Monday we tied for a record high temp of 84. Today it snowed starting about noon and it's still snowing now. For those of you not familiar with Texas weather. We consider ourselves lucky if we see snow once in a year. We're used to wearing short sleeves and playing horse shoes in the back yard on Thanksgiving day. So, this was quite a surprise.

Dinner was very diabetic friendly since both of my parents and grandparents are diabetic as well. My mom made THE best sweet potato casserole with very little sugar in it. It was TO-DIE-FOR! I don't even like sweet potatoes and I ate more of that than anything else today. My little boy, I think that was all he ate today and he ate lots and lots of it.

We had about 20 people at my mom's house for either lunch or dinner or both. Nothing like the 40 or so we usually have, but it was nice to have things be quite a bit more peaceful than normal. All the beautiful snow definitely added to the peacful atmosphere.

Mom and I will be up and out the door at about 4am to do our Christmas shopping. We generally do ALL of our shopping on the day after Thanksgiving and get it done in one day. And since we love to shop more than anything in the world, it's one of our favorite days of the year. So, I'm off to bed to get some rest before getting up at 3:30 to throw on some clothes and a ball cap!

Hope everyone had a GREAT Turkey day!!

Wow MOMMA . . . I think you just won the prize for weird weather, Chickie. Hope you have a really great shopping day, too.

Happy LEFTOVERS DAY to all the rest of you well-fed US citizens out there. Imagine it will be another quiet day around 3FC since so many will be out doing the 'shop til you drop' routine. :lol:

Nothing exciting for this Canuk . . . it's only 6:35 am AST and I've been up for two blinking hours already and my stupid BGL is 7.3 (131) adter finishing up at 4.9 (88) last night. I don't even have the heavy dinner to blame for the BGL or the early awakening. :mad:

Did quite a bit of shopping yesterday and am now down to one birthday gift that I need to get before December 6. Think I'll leave it until the beginning of the week because the weather isn't sounding too great for today . . . maybe I'll start the wrapping process. I need to stay out of the kitchen -- I get an almost uncontrolable urge to bake, bake, bake at this time of year -- that would be okay, except the other uncontrolable urge to eat, eat, eat, that always goes along with it. :o

Anyway . . . Hope everybody has a great day of doing whatever you have planned for today . . . Try to keep things moving and shaking. :carrot:

Hi gang . . . :wave:

We are having a little snow . . . just light, but it is sticking to the ground. BGL was okay at 5.5 (99) this morning. Strange, actually, because I don't feel too great this morning and think I'm going to go back to bed for a bit.

See you later . . . :grouphug:
