diabetes update
It has now been a bit more than a month since things became official about me being diabetic. Not liking the doctor I saw too much, I went to another doctor last Friday and discussed what's going on. It was reassuring to hear that things that I'm doing and consequently not doing all are making progress. Lately I have consistently registered 120s, 130s, and at the worst 140s in glucose reading.
I realize that is still high but considering how "high" my numbers were prior to watching my diet etc., this is a tremendous improvement.
What I can't get used to is how my vision changes daily basis. As sugar level goes down in my blood, apparently it changes pressure in my eyes which now has been fluctuating for a bit. The eye doctor said that it was normal and that we would be seeing each other often until my vision settles down. I was thinking all this time that my eyes were getting bad but in reality, my sugar level was just going up...
I also had a mini cheat day last Friday just to save me from going insane. Not able to eat what I want is somewhat taking a toll mentally. I got another blood test and hemoglobin check in 2 months. A long road ahead to being better but one step at a time...
