Oh...and losing a lot more weight and basically never eating any of the food that non-diabetic people eat without even thinking about it.

Not a happy moment, especially after all of my work.

Jo...I am sorry. I have had moments like this...so many. I can completely empathize. I know it is tough right now, but I know that it gets better, you deserve the best, you've earned it!

Congrats to all of you who have been successful this week. I am plateauing, likely because of my having to tone it down this week, but I am happy that I am relatively healthy. I have been walking all day at work. People make fun of me, but I do not care. I refer to the call center floor as our "indoor walking track". I downloaded an app to count my steps/pace. I am walking about 7 miles a day at 2.5 mph average. That is just in the call center. I am also walking two miles at lunch. It is keeping my blood sugar in check (no meds for me at this time), and that is what is most important to me right now. It is still disappointing to have to cut out the exercise that I love the most.

Have a happy and healthy weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in here
