I Don't Want To Die

My doctor had her assistant call me. She said my diet is killing me. Somber words to hear. My a1C was crazy, triglycerides are dangerous high, and cholesterol needs work. I hate whiners, and I worry that what I'm about to say is whining. Coronavirus has kicked my ass. Trying to be everything I am needed to be, get everything done and still be me, and take care of me has been weighing on me a lot. So stress eating was my thing for awhile. Top that off with I was in a situation with insurance, leaving me without the best blood sugar meds I've ever had, and yeah, my numbers sucked.

I've worked a little harder for the last 3 days, and I'm seeing some progress. The steglujan immediately brought my glucose levels below 220, from 360. I've now had a few in the 100s. It was 160 an hour ago. So I'm continuing checking my sugar. I'm trying to find foods that don't jack it up. Good thing is eggs and sausage don't! Those are kind of staples for me.

Now comes the part that is hardest. I have to figure out a way to get both diet and exercise going at the same time, with my gym closed... Sux, but doable. I just gotta figure it out.
