Golf is a game of forgetfullness

Knew I needed to get back to the Pro for a hard reminder. I have been renting a hacks swing for the past two month. Made a time and got a big head full of corrections. We promised between us not to let the time between reminders be like this. The swing had really gotten away from being the compact powerful one we started with. The 45 mins was frustration of mental defects and physical adjustments. At the end I could feel the changes he wanted but the brain was fighting the wants. More range time and less hacking is in order. Blood tested at 98 tonight.!!!!

Frustration day.

Some days the frustration is just a big negative vacuum to your relaxed calm. Bosszilla was in full reactionary mode and complete denial of past statements THe work flow was so staggered that it was hard to accomplish the tasks. Other emails came with "gotta do it now" or why did you do it that way. At the end of the day the Doctor's office calls about the blood and urine samples. THe female mentions that the analysis is good and the DR. wishes another test in 4 months...... NO fricking numbers, no statements of what the change was , is or will be. As a Type II, I live on number and I got zip. Made a call back and waited two hours for a return call and then see I got one when I was walking the dog. Of course too late to return the call.. Sigh. Tomorrow again I will try to maintain the flow and offer a suggestion about service. And get the last three blood tests so I can chart the results. Living with a non-curable issue and doing the best I can each day.

Still learning

It was a fasting day to give 3 month blood and urine samples. All that went well until I talked to my Doctor and he looked at my log book. I had tried to be consistent in doing my reading every night before dinner because it allowed me to track the data. He informed me that I need to be random to have tracking data for the sugars at other intervals. I had no idea but if that is what he wants then I can do that too. The testing in not cheep as I have found out. The disks, micro-jets, and meds sure added to the bottom line. I am still "glad" that I only have type II so no insulin needs. I believe that I am now hovering around a 6 A1C and do not have some of the high sugar issues combating my life. Of course, the girl scout cookie drive is at work and I had to pass helping a friends daughter.

Peaceful RElaxing Sunday

Nice to have the Blood Sugar under control on a weekend. No travel of cravings to supply fuel to the problems. Tested at 114 so I am ok to at least not worry.

Will get out for an hours exercise later to get the heart rate up.

Tomorrow is a Blood test at the Doctors office so a Day of fasting to prepare.

Motor racing is on ( Rolex 24 hours of Daytona ) and is on later to relax with.

Being tension free does help the system cope better.

Type II diabetes

IN October the blood test came back with a Very high A1C. (10)

the number was a surprise but the glucose meter also showed a 250+ reading so the time is now here to be smart about my food intake and be like my father and pay attention to my hereditary problem of diabetes.

Since the wake up call I have reduced my carb intact and drop my sugar intake to near zero.

The daily monitoring of my blood glucose before dinner is showing a control if I pay attention. Nightly readings of 110 to 130 are regular. The water intake and outflow was really changed. My weight has dropped 8-9 pounds from Oct 1 and now am at 184#.

The med changed from Metformin to Janumet twice a day and we will see what that brings.

Eggs, Protein, Nuts, carrots, and watching the intake is part of my life not.

No cure but the path monkey is a constant reminder what I have to deal with.
