Things are still looking pretty good for me. I have been to the gym 4 out of 5 days this week. I tried to go yesterday but they were closed because the girl who was supposed to open it, forgot and didn’t come in until 12:30. So, I would have been there, and in fact [...]

Getting Into A Routine

First off, I am so sore…my abs hurt, yesterday my arms hurt. But all these are good hurts. It means I am doing something that my body isn’t used to and I am feeling really good about it. Sure, I am living on a bit of Advil right now because I am aching, but that [...]
First Day at Gym

So, this morning was a bit more difficult than I had expected. First off, I didn’t want to get up at all. My blood sugar was 84 this morning. I made breakfast and then shortly after breakfast rushed out the door to head over to Butterfly Life. This may not have been the smartest idea [...]

Not a whole lot new to report here. I have had my 3rd injection of Byetta. I have not had any nausea yet, but occasionally the injection site bruises or is tender later in the day. It’s a little annoying but I am coping with it! My blood sugar was 88 this morning. So my [...]
Trying Something New

Last night I had the opportunity to listen to a registered nurse discuss the drug Byetta. It is a twice daily injectable that is being used to treat Diabetes Type 2. It is not insulin. The nurse practitioner (who from now on out is going to be referred to by her name, Amy) was considering [...]

It’s been a crazy couple of days since I last posted. I had to make a trip up to be with family because my Uncle died last Friday. I am back in town now and still working and learning about as much as I can with my illness.
My books arrived on Friday but I really [...]

So, I am still learning how and what to eat and what it does to my blood sugar levels. I have been trying to be really good about food choices and trying to ignore when my body says it is still hungry.
This morning’s sugar level was 101. It’s not perfect, but it’s getting better and [...]
Still learning

So, today has been a long day already and it’s only 2 p.m. I had an appointment at 8 this morning with the nurse practitioner. We discussed my diabetes a bit more indepth and that was helpful. She is also going to have me set up to go in and join a nutrition class at [...]
Day by Day

Yesterday was busy. I tried to be super careful about my blood sugar levels. I woke up with a severe leg cramp (which could be due to reduced potassium from the blood pressure medicine). So with breakfast I had a banana. Of course, my blood sugar was a bit higher after breakfast than I would [...]
Beginning this journey

This is my blog about my new life. Yesterday, I found out that I have diabetes type 2. It’s not surprising really because I have been on this road for a long time headed that way, it’s just now diagnosed and being treated. I am writing this blog because I don’t feel quite ready to [...]
