Day 12: So .... There's Good News and Not So Good News ...

Good News! 


I finally found my blood monitor kit so I can actively monitor my blood sugar levels!!






Not So Good News
When I took my fasting blood sugar it was 383.  To put that in perspective normally fasting blood sugar should be under 100.

So clearly I have some work to do! 
But now that I have my monitor I can keep a closer eye  on my blood sugar as motivation to eat better.  
It's so easy to brush away my symptoms as simply fatigue or maybe even a cold or flu.  But with that 383 staring me in the face it's hard to avoid the fact that the constant dizziness I feel daily is because of my elevated sugars. 
I have been diagnosed as diabetic since 2014.  And for about a year I was able to manage it extremely well with diet and exercise.  I managed it so well that my doctor diagnosed me as being in remission. 
Obviously, I have fallen off the wagon!.
Time to get back up and leave behind all of the foods that are making me ill.  My body responds best when  I avoid all processed foods so here I go ......
