diabetes

To some this comes as no surprise, but I have been recently rediagnosed with diabetes. I find it frustrating as i reversed it to pre-diabetes and stayed diet-controlled for years. Such things are brittle and precarious. Logically, I know it's nothing I did to cause this to transpire, yet I still feel guilty. I'm working very hard to watch what I eat, but right now, I'm frustrating, as the numbers are continuing to stay high while being on two medications, regardless of what I ingest. Food is my enemy. And to a point, it always will be.

Now that I've gotten out a bit of my frustration, let's look at the positive.

There are really good aspects of the gluten free diet and diabetes. I need to tweak my grains in my diet, but this could be incredibly positive, especially if I better stick to the gluten free diet.

My boys are trying very hard to help me when they're here. They are encouraging and loving and they use the force when I try to cheat on my somewhat new, more strict diet.


I have an incredibly supportive boyfriend. Yup, that's right. I have a wonderful boyfriend and I'm very thankful that he's in my life.

I have such wonderful friends and I'm thankful for every person in my life.

I can do this. I know I can. I will be better and find more ideas and help that I am happy to share with those in my life.
