I started this blog, posted once and then let it languish out here in the blogiverse for far too long. I am notorious for starting journals, both written and online, and making a few entries and then leaving them to gather dust. I thought about deleting this blog and starting another. Or not making the effort to blog at all, but I really need a place to express myself and this is as good as any place, I suppose.
My Type 2 Diabetes journey has been a real hassle lately. I can't seem to find that sweet (no pun intended) spot that I had right after my diagnosis in Fall 2017. I feel like crap. My numbers are awful and I feel tired and mentally exhausted most days. This T2D is not easy, y'all! I have a doctor's appointment next week and I will be discussing all this with my MD. We'll see where we go from here. She keeps telling my to be patient and we'll get the right medication combination.
I know that stress is playing a huge part in the difficulty I am having managing my T2D right now. My hubby is preparing to retire and it's such a time consuming, thought consuming process. I am also missing my Dad terribly. He passed away from cancer on August 17th last year. I have been through a lot of very difficult things in my life, but nothing can compare to losing my Dad. He was my 'person'. He understood me like no one else in my life. He was sweet, kind, generous and had such a positive outlook on life. Even in the midst of his dying. And he was so funny! He could always make me laugh. Everything seems to be tainted by his absence right now.
So, moving forward, I am going to try to come here once a week and talk all about my disease and what I am doing to manage it. And also, how all that 'stuff' is making me feel.
Here's looking to Spring and brighter days ahead!
