Diabetes Update

In case you missed my post awhile back, I have gestational diabetes. Fun! Fun! However, I am so excited because I am able to keep my levels low with diet alone. I'm suppose to be exercising, but considering it's been raining non-stop and now it is the season of yellow powder here, we're not getting out to walk much. Everyday has been a strict diet for 3 meals and snacks in between, pricking my finger first thing in the morning and then 2 hours after each meal but before snack. As crazy as it sounds I know people who have it a lot worse.

I got some good news this week. Everything is going so well I can relax a little and not be so strict with my diet and only prick twice a day! YAY! Music to my ears! I had started to swell in my hands and ankles before all this and the diet is helping with that too. So, I'm very thankful and appreciate your prayers!
