I really don't like going to the doctor. The endocrinologist to be specific. Every time I go, I just seem to leave disappointed. Sometimes it's less disappointment than others. Sometimes I'm just so angry at myself and at this disease. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I get mad at the doctor (because OF COURSE, it's HIS fault I'm diabetic!). But mostly, the doctor just makes me feel alone in what I feel.

 

Today I had an endo appointment (if you didn't already guess). My last A1c was 6.9, my lowest ever. I was absolutely thrilled at that number, yet the perfectionist in me still wanted lower. And I honestly tried for lower (less in the last month or so though). But life got in the way.

My latest A1c was 7.3. I'm feeling very neutral about it. It's neither high nor low to me. My goal is still 6.5, so the disappointment of being so far off from that is bothering me. But overall, I know that 7.3 is still down from where it was before (7.6) and in a moderately good range for me.

 

I know that getting below 7 is one of the hardest things to do, if not the hardest, so I can't be too hard on myself. It's very frustrating though that it is so hard to get there. Why can't this be a little easier? Or why can't I be a little better at getting things right? I know that I don't do everything right (I'm human!), but I also know that my slip-ups are exactly why my A1c is 7.3.

I'm mad. I'm so mad I'm numb.

 

You know when you've been waiting and waiting for something (i.e., a package to arrive) that you stop looking for it because you know it won't be there?

 

Well, when my DexCom starter kit didn't show up on Saturday (which I kind of knew would happen because I'm sure Saturday deliveries cost extra) I was positive I could expect it today since I was explicitly told I'd have it no later than Monday.

 

But, since I had been waiting two weeks for it, I had almost forgotten about it. Almost. I had actually been thinking about it most of the day, thinking about forgoeing the house work I have tonight to read the user's manual and watch the clock during the minimum three-hour charge time for the receiver.

In an exclusive interview with Glamour magazine, Academy Award-nominated actress Salma Hayek admitted that she suffered from diabetes during her pregnancy. The news of her temporary bout with diabetes has the entertainment industry shocked and wanting answers.
In what has already been a turbulent year for Hollywood following the Halle Berry public relations disaster, another mega-celebrity has come forward to reveal her struggles with the disease.
Avon, for which Hayek has served as spokesperson since 2004, announced that it has begun an internal investigation into whether or not Hayek had diabetes while representing the cosmetics giant. (READ MORE)

Yesterday we had a special “God and Country” service at church. We typically do a similar service under the flag pole on the 4th of July each year but this year we decided to do that service on Sunday instead so hopefully more of the congregation can enjoy and participate in this moving service.

The service starts outside under the flag pole. The local boy scouts troop retires the flag we fly, presents it to a veteran in our congregation, and posts a new flag. I love this stuff because, although I may not seem like it, I am a very patriotic person.

After that we all went into the church to continue the service. Myself, my daughter, and a few other singers all stood upfront and sang all of the theme songs from each military branch. As we sang them we had any veterans from each branch stand to be recognized.

I never thought Susanne would actually go. Not with the 3 year old. He can't sit still for more than five minutes. But we both agreed it would be pretty cool if she could swing it.

She called me at work with a definite zeal in her voice.

"I'm here!"

It's not every day that a potential vice president comes to your town; to your local middle school.

Joe and Jill Biden came to town to talk about education, the economy and healthcare. The only obstacle standing in Susanne's way was Ben. They needed to arrive at the school an hour-and-a-half before the Bidens were to speak. That's a lot of patience to ask of a 3 year old (our 3 year old). It would be nothing short of a miracle if Ben was to last long enough to see them speak.

There are some things I just don't get. Like why I've gained 2 lb. since starting my exercise goal for this month.
The first six weeks on Byetta I lost 4 lb. without exercise or really any adjustment in my diet. Now that I'm exercising and making more of an effort to cut out the junk in my diet, I've gained 2 lb. What the heck is up with that?
OK, I know it's been less than a week since I started walking (six days in fact, and I had to skip one day), but seriously why isn't the weight just melting off me yet? Imagine my disappointment when I jumped on the scale after having walked two or three days in a row (not to mention barely eating at a number of meals) to see that I had gained weight! (READ MORE)
