Lately my control has been great. A month ago, I can honestly say that it wasn't. When I blogged about my last endocronologist appointment, my diabetes was in the driver's seat. I was getting a two thumbs down rating from the critics. Well, if you have been staying up with my entries, you know that as of lately my schedule has changed drastically. My new daily routine is making a HUGE DIFFERENCE with my sugars (This is the part where I attempt to sound smart and provide you with some advice that you are probably already know.)

I felt myself becoming more sullen the closer I got to the office. My diabetes care had definitely not been the best as of late, and I kept thinking about the way my endo tends to look at me when he asks questions like "So, how are your blood sugars?" and "How often do you test?" and "You don't really need a snack do you?" He's not being judgmental, but I can see the cranks moving behind his eyes. I can't quite read him, but I don't get the you're-doing-great-vibes from him. (READ MORE)
