happy October friends. next weekend will be our Thanksgiving, and I am planning for hosting with some nice anticipations.
I will make a pie for others, but will make other desserts for me. Haven't decided yet on pumpkin pudding or pumpkin cheesecake, and always an apple something.
I have been sticking to plan and the scale is moving, so I have moved my ticker. I am slightly constipated, but got some insoluable fibre in there today, hope that will help.
Bad combo of very busy work life with lost sleep and one co-worker who is being a knob. Sigh,
I guess it just has to be that way.
Cold and cough much better, DH also has it and we slept in separate beds for a bit so maximize sleep, but we are doing well enough to be able to snuggle up to sleep again.
Rennie: every metre will read a bit differently, so lower numbers doesn't mean your own numbers have dropped, but that the metre reads lower. It may be more accurate as well. Take it with you if you get blood work done and do comparisons for a while.
Have been reading a lot of medical research about type 2: the research doesn't support doing testing much if at all. However, the research also doesn't talk about people changing eating habits based on the testing. I really rarely eat bread and rarely have spikes now due to changes based on testing when first diagnosed. There is no way that this is not better for me overall.
I don't test too often these days, I am eating well generally, I know what makes my sugars spike, and I take my meds and they are working well for me. So I test 4 times a week at most now. (2 fasting and two at other times, like 2 hours after a meal, or to check on a different food. )
For the rest of us, what is your goal in testing? how often do you test now?
Is it helpful in changing behaviours for you?
Ruth: hope you feel better soon. Taping doesn't help heal, but does help movement if you are having trouble. Ouch.
