It’s official. I have diabetes 2 along with my high blood
pressure. This is all wrong. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. I know I sit at the computer
for about 6 hours a day, but that is broken up by dog walks and an exercise
video. I know I’m a bit over weight and love my food, but I do try to eat
sensibly and get my 5 a day.
However, the blood tests don’t lie, and I have been feeling
pretty exhausted lately. The doc sent me to a diabetes clinic this morning
where I am to be educated about it. Not much in today’s session was new to me
except being told that a) I can still eat SOME chocolate and b) the reason a
meal doesn’t always satisfy me is because
when you have diabetes it takes longer for your brain to realise the
tummy is full. I didn’t know that before.
Anyway that, followed by searching the shops for some new
curtains, took up the whole of my morning.
Jade wasn’t happy because first I didn’t have time to throw her science
diet nuts around for her to retrieve, and then she was driven off and away from
me at the hospital, with a sad little face peering at me through the car
window. She didn’t eat her nuts until her playtime after lunch.
I did manage to get an article written this afternoon, which
was just as well because the deadline for that one is tomorrow. And I have
scheduled in another of those horrible landing pages to write this evening. I’m
off to make a salad now.

I'm sorry to hear that you have diabetes. Sometimes I think it's just a susceptibility to it, some people have massively unhealthy lifestyles but don't get it. I hope your doctor helps you manage it and keep it under control
Bummer- hope they can get everything under control. Jade is such a cutie!
Oh dear, Jean...but I know it can be kept under control...my brother-in-law's health has hugely improved since his diabetes was diagnosed...let's hope you get your energy back soon...
Jenny - thanks. I've been referred to a clinic and am being educated.
Joan - thanks. I hope so too, and it looks as though that will be the case. Jade sends best wishes.
Paola - thanks also. The energy lack is the real problem,so I'll just have to follow advice and wait and see. At least it will all be monitored now.
