I stopped writing this blog because I was too embarrassed to be honest about my lifestyle. I felt ridiculous for writing down my obviously stupid food choices and lack of exercise. All of the self-treatment tips work. Why can’t I incorporate them into my life?
I’ve had some real internal debates about the cause for natural selection. Only the fittest survive and the dumb die out. Maybe I don’t deserve to live.
But I returned to this blog at the behest of my husband who is desperate for me to take control of my diabetes. The past several months have been stressful as we still struggle with my daughter’s terminal illness. Stress is not good for blood sugar control. So I agreed to continue with this blog and record my actual blood sugar readings, daily food intake, exercise sessions and such in order to keep on track with all of the self-treatment options available.
Self-treatment is not the best choice, but it is the only choice for many diabetics who have no health insurance. I will take my glucose reading tomorrow morning and begin my self-treatment efforts all over again.
