So, dear blog readers, yesterday was a little rough. After trying some newer doses of diabetes medications, my blood sugars were in the basement yesterday. I literally was eating from 4:30 yesterday morning until 10:30 last night to try to keep them up. I can't remember the last time I had to eat so much food....Except for Christmas, possibly.
Don't get me wrong; I can't deny that I was thrilled to make some mac and cheese since the protein, fruit, veggies, and glucose tabs weren't doing the trick. It was great to have some comfort food! Get it while I can, I figure.
So today, I started insulin. It was a little scary trying to poke myself. It's a lot easier having to give it to other patients! I'm curious to see how the rest of the day will go with the doses that I'm taking.
As a result of the insulin, I have more energy today, so I think I'll go work on my garden a little bit just to make sure I'm not neglecting it too much. I haven't been out there since last week due to work and Mike's schedule. Hopefully the disease that was plaguing my tomatoes is resolving a little bit. If anyone has any suggestions regarding fungal infections on plants, please feel free to share your experiences!

The life and times of a nurse, her husband, their tiny children, and their every-day adventures.
A Life Defined
A neonatal ICU-loving RN; a messy "home chef" in the making; a wanna-be gardener; a reader of good historical fiction; a lover of good gourmet food; someone whose spouse makes her laugh every day; a novice quilter; a woman who regularly gets her oil changed; a procrastinator of getting the mail; an envier of gingerbread-house-makers; a rusty pianist; an insomniac who cooks and does laundry when she can't sleep; an officianado of sleeping late ("jet lag" is routine when you work nights); a longing traveller who hopes to be able to see more of the world someday; a person who wishes she could draw or paint and will maybe take lessons someday; a singer/dancer when the blinds are drawn and no one is home while doing household chores; but mostly just a normal human being in need of God's grace everyday.
