Journal Entry for July 7, 2008
Monday, July 7, 2008

My sugar was over 200 again this morning!  I really think it's stress as I have been better about what I eat. I tried to call the attorney today, had to leave a message and no return call! I have been paying them $25.00 a month because that is all I can afford, but they say that is not enough and I need to go to court. I do not have an attorney (I couldn't afford one even if I wanted one) I guess we'll see what Thursday brings!

   Heather, can you go to a dietician who will explain the diabetic diet to you? Most endocrinologists (if you have one) have a dietician they can refer you to. And insurance may pay for it. Also, there are many support groups and informational meetings at hospitals that can provide information on balancing your diet. Its more complicated than just avoiding sugar. Sorry to but in, but you know how we nurses are! Take care. Maria aka snooksmama

   Yes, I have been a couple of times to a dietician but now I simply can't afford the $30.00 co-pay every other week to keep seeing her! I will have to try harder on my own.

   Maybe you can also check out Passion Flower - a natural supplement. It helps calm the system naturally and has helped me in my stress levels.

   Heather, being I have diabetes and have been very stressed....it's your stress levels that are tweaking your blood sugar. I know it's difficult to battle stress. I deal with it everyday. I still don't know how to battle it other than twisting off my head and taking my brain out. LOL. Um, yeah...can't do that though! HUGS, Carol

   I think maybe you should buy a book about this disease and see what meals should look like and try yoga to relieve stress. I really hope you get your numbers down. Love and hugs Frieda

   I am concerned about your sugar. I think that you had better get the proper diet from your doctor and stay on it. Stress is also a factor. It is hard to get rid of the stress, I know, so diet and medication needs to be controlled. Good luck and keep us posted. Love and Hugs..Marie
