Ruled by food

Let me start by saying I am new to blogging. I don't think I have every read anyone's blog. Does it tell me when I make a spelling error. Well I guess I'll find out. Well I just found out. Yes it does.

I am a 55 year old married woman. I have a beautiful daughter, son in law and three wonderful grandchildren. Me and my husband live in Idaho and the kids in Northern California. My  husband is retired and so am I. I want for nothing. We own a a couple of very nice homes. We can travel when ever we want. Money is not an issue. Not to say that we are rich. We are comfortable.

So what is my problem. My diabetes is out of control and has been for for many years. My sugars have been as low as 32 and so high (over 600)  that it won't even read on my monitor. Yes. This is on a regular basis. I am only about 20 lbs. over weight. I look pretty good for my age. I have no other health issues. Just the diabetes.  I know I need to eat better and regulate my medicines. I just don't. I always tell my self just one more pie from Costco and then I'll start eating better. Tomorrow I'll start. Guess what, tomorrow never seems to get here. It has been 8 years of tomorrows.  I can feel it starting to catch up with me. I know if I don't make some serious changes, I won't be around much longer. I'm hopping that by starting this blog. By blogging every day what I eat and how I feel it will help me. So here I go.

I got up at 6:00 this morning. Which is a little late for me. I'm usually up by five am. I enjoy my morning alone time. While hubby is still sleeping. My sugars were good this morning only 163. I took my Lantus and have had some coffee and cream. I have a quilt I need to finish for one of my Gran daughters for Christmas. It is cold outside, the fireplace is going. I'm feeling good about today.
Hubby just got up. His first question. Where do you want to go to breakfast. Lord help me.

See Ya.
