Diabetic Recipes
I don't normally make New Year's resolutions, finding them to be just another way to make myself feel guilty about things. And I can do that well enough without adding a list to the mix.
But this year, I have resolved to get more on top of tracking Olivia's blood sugars. I tend to slip about it. I'm great for a week or two and then I let it slide. I forget to ask for her meter for a couple of days and then I think "Oh, well, I'll start over on Monday." But I don't. I forget. (do you sense a theme here?)
This forgetfulness thing is kind of new with me. I'm fairly sure it's because I don't get enough sleep. My youngest daughter - 17 months old - still isn't sleeping thru the night and I'm up 2 or 3 times with her, which plays havoc with my sleep patterns. It can't possibly be because I'm getting old. *ahem*
Regardless, I need to make more of an effort to log. It's the only way I'm ever going to make sense of anything. As much sense as can ever be made with this disease, at least.
So that's my New Year's resolution. What's your?
My post has got my possible resolutions. I just wanted to sympathize - my son didn't sleep through the night until he was about 18 months. It is really hard. It does fry your brain. I am very lucky this time around, baby is already sleeping 8 or 9 hours at a stretch.
I don't usually do resolutions either. But, this year I have a few things I'm trying to work on. I posted them on my blog the other day.
But, the only diabetes related one I have is to not let Riley's sugars affect my mood. When his sugars are great I'm in a much better mood than when his sugars are crappy.
I'm going to try to keep an even mood no matter what his sugars are. I know from experience that a run of bad sugars will come down. Yet, when he has a run of bad sugars I feel like it will be that way forever.
