Wow! Two Postings in One Day!

Figured I would give you an update. As you can see from my first post in January and it has been a long time since I have posted, I am now successfully managing my Type II Diabetes. My blood sugar is now averaging between 95 and 115 as the medicine has helped out tremendously.

Type II Diabetes is brought on by being overweight, and I have been overweight nearly my entire life. I am working on reducing that and throughout the year I had put on close to twenty pounds due to the medication. I can now say since being diagnosed, I have shed fifteen of those pounds and slowly but surely work my way back to a healthy BMI.

For those of you who are reading my blog, I have found that in testing my blood, I much rather use my forearm versus using my fingers. Since I type all day and in front of a computer, I have found that the tips of my fingers were always raw and that shea butter doesn't do too much to alleviate the discomfort. If I am in a rush, which now I am, I will prick my finger rather than go to my forearm.
