Sugar, ah enemy, enemy... you are my one real foe and I want to battle you...

When I first started taking insulin, I hated it and could not wait until they put me back on an oral medication.
Now, I realize from that experience that the insulin did the best job controlling my sugar levels and keeping them steady.
I have an appointment with my endocrinologist next week.
She has been reluctant to put me back on insulin; let's hope she'll listen this time.
My sugars are all over the place a combination of stress, eating where I could in the last month, the new medication having to be taken 3 times a day before each meal (me sometimes forgetting when out to do so), and skipping daily exercise.
I have managed to go back on diet and resume my daily exercise.
As long as I am home for meals, I am remembering my medication, now.
Stress, I can only do so much about.
It really hasn't changed much my sugar levels continue to be erratic despite the effort.

You have been through so much the past couple of months. It's amazing you have been able to do as well as you have. Now with everything settling back down hopefully you can get back into the routine or eating better and getting daily exercise. Wishing you all the best 🙏🙏🙏

@Musicman Thank you it's hard to concentrate on much when you are not in control of what's going on around you.

@Justmeraeagain I know and I completely understand. Personally I think you have done a fantastic job.

@Musicman 🫂That is only because you don't see the meltdowns.
It gets better, but mostly only because it has to.

@Justmeraeagain In the last two years C has had two kidney surgeries, cancer surgery and radiation. I definitely worry about losing her. ☹

@Justmeraeagain We have barely used our motorhome the past two years because of this. Mainly we have used it for hurricane evacuations. That's why this fall and next spring I would like to have a couple of really nice trips. See parts of the country we have never seen before.

@Musicman The upper peninsula of MI is quite beautiful in the autumn.
