Here is Why..

May 16, 2013
 I know that I stopped writing as frequently and my posts haven't been geared towards my diabetes, here is why. I have taken it into my daily life and now that is just how it is. I don't notice it anymore to be quite honest with you. I know when my blood sugar is low or high and I notice it when I have to really watch it when doing something very simple. That's just how it is for me now. I have to be healthy and I have to watch my blood sugars. I have come to terms with it and stopped trying to pretend that I don't have diabetes, because I do.

 The one thing I have noticed is that whenever I go into a professional setting whether it be a doctors office, a dentists office, or anything similar to those I get a lot of questions on my diabetes. It really does effect everything I do. I went to the dentist today and when I told them I was diagnosed with diabetes they spent extra time checking my gums to make sure I didn't have gingivitis. As I told you before when I get a sore or an infection I take a longer time to heal and they told me that if I were to get gingivitis it would be very hard to get it back to healthy. As if I didn't have enough to worry about. ;) Now I have to eat right, exercise, and make sure I take extra good care of my teeth. Silly.

 Another update on my diabetes is I am loving this honeymoon phase, if that's what is happening. I hardly need any insulin at all and my blood sugar bounces right back after meals. It really is getting so much better and easier to manage. That makes me so happy because that is less insulin and less times I need to go to the pharmacy :)
