Here’s My Story And I’m Stickin’ To It

It’s been a while since I have written about my own life with diabetes. I think I am like a moon, I wax and wane. I will have 3 good weeks where my body responds wonderfully to my diet and then a week or so where it seems not to matter what I do. And yes you guessed it, I am currently in the week that stinks. I have been over the top with watching what I eat and have been moving and grooving all over the place with more than enough physical activity. But the ol’ sugars are a bit up.

I know that in a weeks time, they will be back to “normal”. And I so think that this is directly related to my hormones, if you know what I mean? “I will remain calm and not throw my glucometer across the room”. That is what I keep repeating to myself when I see those stupid numbers pop up.

It is frustrating to have every resource at your fingertips, a heck of a lot of education on the subject and a major type A personality to boot! But tis’ life I guess. How have your sugars been? Does anyone else notice that your sugars are affected by your “cycle? I know what the research says and understand the literature, but I was wondering what your “real life” experiences have been?
