Well just when it seems like life is coming together it implodes. I had a complete blood work up done yesterday, and now my Dr. wants to see me urgengtly. My daughter took the phone call and is so freaked about it. Ill go see the gp about 1.00pm as I know they only want to put me in hospital.(See nouse thats what happens when you dont take your meds)I feel ok not sick at all.There is no way will I go to this local hospital and as you cant smoke on the grounds they can forget it lol.My past week has been great, the boys go back tomorrow to the other g/mother but we will have them in a weeks time just in time for school holidays.Now how do I carm my lovely daughter down shes frighten I guess. But I dont have any fears about not being here any more I have had 61 years so thats a lot longer than some.No Im not S.... and I think I am learning to live with my D.My outlook is to live each day as it comes and to try not to cause distress or be a burden to my family.So thats the way my life is.

Grannie
You have to keep the tragedy level down for everyone's sake. See what the Doctor says then deal with it, probably about your blood sugars, deal with it as you have relative peace now, try to keep it...
All the best.

Please stop eating sugar Grannie. There are plenty of easy substitutes out there. Don't have to be perfect as in fruit and veges and carbs and all that but just stop eating sugar and animal fats for God's sake. Anyone can do that. Your body is going to fall apart unless you change what you are eating straight away. Now is the time, there are absolutely no excuses now. Ask who you live with not to bring that food into the house anymore, everyone will benefit. Most stuff is low fat, low sugar, you will lower your Cholesterol in just a couple of weeks by eating a)porridge or oats and b) pro-active bread spread and lower your sugars as well, plus just do not eat sugar anymore. How hard is that?
All the best, it really is not that hard to do....

Sending you lots of hugs grannie. I am older than you are and also have diabetes & high cholesterol. A tablet called 'Amaryl' that I take once with breakfast keeps my sugar down to between 6.5 to 9.5 so is pretty good.
Nothing lovers my cholesterol under 8.6...I give up with it. My dad was as skinny as a matchstick but had high cholesterol in the 8's...so think it is hereditory in some families. I have tried many cholesterol tablets, they make me ache all over...but...none seem to lower it.
Guess age sucks hey?
Thank you for your nice comment on my post the other day.
Love Valerie x0x
