say word.

almost criiiiied in this dude's office:

doc
 
but, i did manage to hold it together until i got in my car, then i did get a lil teary.
with everything that has happened with the ectopic pregnancy, and  me worrrrrrrrrrrrrkin my assssssssssss offffffffffffff the amount of effort I have put in for several years to get where i am today, this made my year!!
 
words cannot describe!
 
never give up, fellow diabetics!
it can be done!
 
the best thing i've done:
* frequent checking of blood sugar
* don't eat any carbs until blood sugar is in target range
* eat very low carb protein snacks throughout the day
* when eating carbs, eat good ones {fruit, grains} and severely limit trash ones {fries, fatty carbs}
* take insulin 30 mins. ahead of meals {when it's safe, like when you're not driving}

thank you JESUS for giving me the brains and resources (doctors, acupuncture, scrilla, health insurance) to get this thang done! 
He is an awesome God frands!!
seeing results makes it so much easier to stay on track, too!
whoop whoop!
 
have a good one, shugs!

thank you so much! it definitely pays to be your own advocate. for me, feeling great was a combination of "modern medicine", diet, and acupuncture! i feel AWESOME! :)
