Hello and Happy Friday. I have a quick question that I hope to get some comments on. As you may or may not have read in my previous blog, my doctor wants me to try taking my med only once a day. I totally did not think to ask her this at the time, so what better place then here to get some answers. When should I take this? I mean, I'm on metformin and have been taking it twice a day (breakfast/dinner) since november. But now, I don't know what would be the best time. Any advice would be appr… Continue

Kidney and Liver test results = excellent My cholesterol was the big question mark that she wanted to see the results of this time around because she was thinking about putting me on some cholesterol medic… Continue

Eye Appointment today

I'm going to my first eye appointment today. actually in just an hour or so. This will be my first eye appointment since i was diagnosed in November and haven't even had my eyes checked since 2000 and that's because i had a bought with pink eye. (yuck). Needless to say, I'm a little apprehensive, not knowing what they will actually be doing and/or checking for. You can only read so much, it's just time to get there and get it done. I'll let you know how it goes. Hope everyone is having a awes… Continue

Nice A1C!! Congrats... :-) I haven't check mine since I was diagnose... But I might able to have it check this week...
I am taking metformin 3x a day, but sometimes I only take it 2x a day because before lunch my BG is too low 70 to 77, and even If I don't take meds at lunch time my BG will be in a safe mode after 2 hours like 115 to 135.
I have a question, How often do you check your BG... You know what? I might be in San Diego before the year ends... Hope to see you in person...

Geez, I also have to add that I love your photos. Beautiful. I hope that you are doing Well.

Thanks for the note. Yea, big Charger fan here, we have season tickets. I was reading your posts and saw that you were at the Denver game. I brought my kids to that game, I had major guilt it being Christmas Eve and all. We bring my daughters "test kit" with us everywhere, Padre games, on airplanes, and no one hassles us about a meter and glucogon, food, or drinks. I'd raise a big fuss if anyone questioned us. I did have to call a supervisor over once but they let us through. My daughter is on the pump. But we take all our supplies on the plane. You never know how long a flight is going to end up taking.

Holler if you ever need anything.

At 3:40am on December 1st, 2007, yda1027 said…: :-), yes, get buy something and reward yourself.. I am thankful to the Lord that when it comes to my diabetes... everything is ok, i've already mastered how to control it... maintaining from 83 to 120 fasting and post prandial readings... though sometimes.... sometimes... I have cravings... chocolate, marshmallows but i see to it that my BG is still in control level...
My problem is how to relax, seems I am always stress, that's the reason why my blood pressure is some kinda elevated, sometimes, when I am at the peak of my nervousness my bp readings was 140/90,,, its stress related... whew... i don't know what kind of exercise I need in order to stay relax... How can i stop being a worry wart???, Don't you have problem such as this?
Take care...

I am overweight too, infact stage 1 obese when I was diagnose with T2 diabetes, I start focusing on my weight lossjust last November 8, over a year after I was diagnosed... I was 88 kilos before I start my goal, now, after almost 2 months, my total weight loss is 12 kilos (26.24lbs)... Isn't it great to be lighter? Goodluck to your goal... :-)
