Hi all.

I finally have my sugars back under control.. Only took me four days. Sheesh. I have a doc's appointment at the end of July (soonest I could get in) and I am going to try to go back on the pump. The 30% co-insurance I have to pay for supplies will hurt, but it will be better for me!!!

Gotta go get ready for church.

Hugs,

Morning everyone:coffee: another cool and rainy day today..i am babysitting the grdd today and am sure she will have lots planned for me:spin: the dh is home from the cabin and i dont feel like doing a thing..hope you are all having a good weekend (((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

happy Sunday
 

Hey all,

It's a blistering hot day in Georgia...i ran errands after church: gassed up car, went to visit mom in law at assisted living but my father in law was visiting and didn't want to interrup them since he doesn't come often, visited book store, bed bath and beyond..grocery store..it was so hot that the pavement was heating up my toes...today was my day for rest / no exercise..but after shopping / bringing in the groceries..i was hot and sweaty and out of breath.:o .time to rest..the dogs / cat were glad I came home and turned on the air conditioner..:mad:

Got my salad and veggies, sugar free caramel flavored jello pudding :D , chicken to grill and eat off of for the next few day......i'm trying to plan my food out for the next few days ..will see how that works...

enjoy the evening...stay cool :cool:

Hi all. :)

Did my wedding registry at Williams-Sonoma today. Phew! Lots of good stuff. DF and I spent two hours in the store!

BGs finally down to high-normal range. 164 this AM, 127 at lunch. I've done a bit of changing, since I don't see the doc for another 6 weeks: 40 units of Lantus, 1 u of Novolog per 10 g carbs, then 1 u Novolog to 20mg/dl correction dose. Think I've got myself figured out again.

We are smoking a tri-tip for dinner: Yum! Gonna be hard to wait three hours for it! In the meantime, I have a pie and cookies to make for my meeting Tuesday night.

Hugs!

Just though I'd let you know I'm still hanging in. The low pressure is stalled over Atlantic Canada and it seems I no sooner start feeling a little better than I get another kick in the head. BS is also somewhat erratic (not surprising) and if I'm not sleeping (which I'm doing a lot of), I'm hungry but so far I'm not doing too badly.

To add to the fun, of course, any OK time I get I've been spending on the 'work-project'. Why does everything always happen at once?

Hopefully I'll be back to normal again soon, and you'll once again be wishing you could shut me up. In the meantime, keep on moving and shaking, gang. I'll see you soon. :carrot:

Hi, all. I had a bad weekend. The new landlord took over Friday but has not been seen or heard. That wouldn't be bad but the elevator was stuck on Saturday morning and there was no one to call. Most of the older people live on the high floors. I live on the 6th and although I can walk up and down, it's very hard on my knees. I went out Saturday to the gym and bought enough groceries for the weekend. Had to stay home Sunday to give my knees a rest. Tension is high and so is by blood sugar. And I have to do my A1c tomorrow for my endo appt next week.
Meowee - sorry about those migraines. I used to get them all the time but somehow after I hit menopause they pretty much stopped. Hope the weather breaks.
Rosey - Did you have a good time with your gdd? I bet you're really happy with the painting. Are you going to paint the rest of the house?
Totoro - Welcome to the thread. It's a good place to get and give support. I can sympathize with the meds/weight loss problem. While Amaryl will inhibit weight loss, metformin will not. Maybe you can discuss with your doctor about just taking metformin and try to control your bs with diet.
Hope everyone has a good week.

Hi all.

Just sat down to dinner last night, and got a call from my mom... she fell and hit her head and punctured her leg with a pitchfork. Finally, after 4 hours in a horrible ER, I got to bed at 2 am. What a night. Got to enjoy my tri-tip for lunch today... :)

If it's n ot one thing, it's another!!!

Well, gang . . . I think I'm pretty much back to whatever passes for "normal" in my life . . . at least I'm not in pain at the moment . . . and the sun came out a bit late this afternoon (although sometimes a change to higher pressure can trigger a migraine, too . . . so far so good). I'm not going to push my luck by trying to go all the way back in the thread to play catch-up so please forgive me if I'm a bit out of sync.

So sorry to hear about your Mother's accident Josian :hug: Hope she's going to be okay really soon. I definitely know what you mean about everything happening at once.

Oh wow, Rosetta :hug: Another "why does everything happen at once" moment. Hard to decide which is the lesser of evils . . . hearing from the nasty landlord everyone fears or having nobody to call when things go wrong. Keep strong, girl. Hopefully everything will be fine really soon.

Sorry, Goddess, :hug: but I will not change temperatures with you. I'd rather have to turn on the heat than suffer in the hot, hot, hot like you've got. Hang in there, kiddo.

Hope you both had lots of fun with the granddaughters, Rosey and Judy. Wish mine were closer . . . although I don't imagine I would have enjoyed them (or them, me) too much this past weekend.

I came across a cute little saying on a cross-stitch today that just seemed to suit my mood and also some of the stuff the rest of you are going through, too . . . . LET'S TRY TO GET THE FUN BACK IN DISFUNCTIONAL . . . think I'm going to have to make that one.

Anyway, have a good evening, everybody and I'll see you tomorrow. Keep moving and shaking and heading in the great downward direction. :carrot:

Oops . . . Sorry Tortoro . . . here's a great big welcoming :hug: for you. Drop in often. This group is really helpful. It's wonderful to know that we are not alone.

Hope we'll be seeing less of you more often. ;)

About to be tuesday...

Well tuesday is supposed to be the church ladies garden party ..except this storm front Alberto ..not sure if he's a hurricaine officially...is screwing things up..Normally , it's a very nice dinner in the garden of one of my church friends ..and the whole thing looks like something out of a House and Garden or Martha Stewart magazine. But we are supposed to be getting pop up thunder storms , so probably will be in the church hall instead....I'm taking cheese, crackers, and grapes...

Eating got off a little bit today ..couldn't get all the calories in..what an issue?..i grilled chicken , steak and veggies..I'm not a good cook , but probably the best thing I made was grilled asparagus. I tried to convince my husband that the asparagus was restaurant quality (i've had asparagus that sucked at restaurants)..But his idea of veggies is corn , mashed potatoes and english peas mixed together...

take care everyone...:smug:

Good Morning, Sugar Babes . . .

Looks like we have a new home . . . thank you MichelleRae (our moderator) since I assume this was your doing :hug: . . . to what do we owe this fine promotion to our own little sub-forum?

Looks like Atlantic Canada is going to have a nice sunny day, :cool: yay. Still fairly cool and that is just the way I like it. Hope it continues for a long, long time just like this. :carrot:

Hi Rosey . . . :hug: So sorry to hear that you've got a bad lower-back problem. You've got to stop doing such vigorous exercise in the middle of the night, girl. I mean, I've heard of sleep-walking, but you are really carrying it a little too far by doing the splits. At your age . . . tsk, tsk. You should know better by now. :D I like your 'barbie-doll-world' quote, too. Hope we'll see some others soon. Oh yes I do know how to spell 'dysfunction', too bad I can't type it right. ;)

Oh Goddess . . . :hug: I really feel for you having such a terrible eating problem. :p All kidding aside, too few calories isn't too great either. Be careful with that asparagus, kiddo. Nobody is allowed to ruin my favourite vegetable. Luckily it's pretty easy to cook. Hope Alberto (whatever it is now) manages to leave you alone so you can have a great time at the inside/outside garden party.

Have a great day everybody wherever you are and whatever you are doing. We miss your happy faces and hope to see them all here soon. Keep on moving and shaking and doing all the right stuff. See you soon. :carrot:

Well hello everyone,,and hope this finds all of you doing well,,,:)

Rainy and humid here,,,rain off and on but the humid I hate,,,pretty late in June to still be like this,,,been a few years since I have seen it like this,,:tantrum:

My fbs was 140 this morning not bad for me,,,the byetta is continuing to work,but seems everything has slowed down some,,,I have about one and a half weeks left of the 5 pen then move up to 10,,,we'll see what happens then,,,:chin:

Well just wante to drop by and say hi,,,I haven't been around much,,work,,work and more work,,,take care all,,,Jeanne :carrot:

Morning everyone:coffee2: another rainy day here.. i had agreat night of sleep and am much better today..no splits in the night:rofl: i never could do those even when i was young very funny tho meowee..nothing new to share but hope others post their favorite quote..(((((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

Hi, all. To my relief the elevator was fixed when I got home last night. Thank goodness because my poor knees couldn't take much more of that. One knee still hurts. No sign of the new landlord yet, but there's tension waiting for the other shoe to drop. I've been going from being too tense to eat much to wanting to drown my sorrows in food. Oh, my.
Rosey - So glad your back problem has dissolved as well as whatever that hip thing was. Getting older, you never know what's coming up next. Hope its roses for you, my dear.
Meowee - sounds like your clouds have broken and you're back to your usual self.
Jeanne - I lived in the mid-west for a year and I remember those humid summers. Hope you have air conditioning. Sounds like the Byetta is doing a good job.
Moon - asparagus is one of my favorite veggies. If your hubby doesn't like it treat yourself to a double portion. It has very few calories. Hope Alberto stays away from your garden party.
