So I had my Diabetes education class this past Friday, and left feeling fairly overwhelmed. It just seems that so much of what I eat (including items I felt were so healthy and I could have in abundance like fruits and milk!) are items that have carbs... and carbs are the enemy in diabetes because carbs turn into sugar in the body. I know my sugar levels when I had my glucose test weren't very high, so I think if I just incorporate some more excercise into my daily routine it'll really help. I admit I haven't been nearly as consistent as I should be when it comes to excercise, and now that it's cold outside, it's harder to go out for walks. But I've seen some excercise "on demand" stuff on our television so I think I'll check that out and see what I can do inside the house. So hopefully in understanding more about carbs, proteins, sugars, fats, etc, and incorporating more excercise, I'll be able to get my numbers under control. If that still doesn't work, then my doctor wants to put me on medication which is a pill twice a day. So I'll give it my best shot, but we'll see!!!
Made it through Christmas!
