I started “World Diabetes Day” with my family, getting up early and going to the local JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Las Vegas…
MJ2joining forces with Allie’s Angels at the@JDRFLasVegas Walk To Cure Diabetes with Allie and Shelby!! You guys rock! :)
Then, my sister, Jackie, and Aunt Mama right next to her, giving blood for a Diabetes Clinical Trial earlier this morning! :)
Allie and Shelby giving Jackie and Mollie a “Bear Hug!” So cute!!!!
Since we were starving, we all went to lunch after the walk, and then came home to do The Big Blue Test!
Unfortunately, I proved once again that no matter how hard you try to manage your diabetes properly, diabetes has a mind of its own and on my Big Blue Test, my blood sugar started out at 421. (eek! I haven’t seen that number in months!)
It’s excactly these kinds of incidents that make managing diabetes so frustrating and dangerous….
My support system, Jackie, was here again when I bolused for my unbelievably high blood sugar.
I guess, “You Can’t Say Love Enough!”
Taking our dogs for a 14 minute walk!!!!!! :) Here’s Jackie with Gracie, and Me with Bear and Barney!!!! :)
Love the beautiful weather! We came back inside and I tested…at 2:20…301…25 minutes later I was 253, and 20 minutes after that, I was 224! Almost 2 hours later, i was 137!! :)
The good news is my numbers went down…the bad news is, it’s a very fast drop!
So, I guess I’ll test every 14 minutes! ;) hehe
Happy Diabetes Awareness Day and World Diabetes Day!!!! :)
“You Can’t Say Love Enough!!” :)
