I eat healthy foods. I drink a lot of coffee every day. I lead a low stress lifestyle. I participate in Assertive Community Treatment a few times a week. I take meds every day, three times a day. I go for a walk once or twice a week and have been walking the dog almost daily. I play fetch with the dog every day it’s good weather. I feed the cats and dog. I talk to my dad and stepmom and text my mom every day.
I take my meds. I was really watching my weight and food intake for diabetes control for awhile but I had a setback where my weight and blood sugar went crazy fluctuating all over the place a few months ago. It made me give up a bit on it. I am watching it very closely again…but trying to keep it under 140 all the time has become unrealistic, even though I’ve been put on insulin. My target goals in this area have changed, for now anyway.
