Happy Thanksgiving! :)
I woke up today and had a special treat for breakfast. Buttermilk. I love buttermilk! I justified it because with the exception of high calories, it isn't bad for you. In fact, it is just as healthy as a glass of milk. :)
Italian tradition is to have pettole on November 22nd. It is a saint's holiday (although I can't remember which one). So, I made them for breakfast today. They are basically a doughnut in the shape of a ball with sugar on it. Not a doughnut hole, slightly different. But, I ate 4 of them.
I made sure that I took my medicine today. I am also taking my insulin pen so that I can take it throughout the day. I love the insulin pen! I wish that I could afford to get them for everything! They don't hurt nearly as bad as the regular needles.
I am going to go for a walk today and so I am glad that it is good weather. I am also going to try to keep my portions under control.
I am thankful that I have had such a healthy body to this point and I am thankful for modern medicine. I don't know how they dealt with this disease way back when! I am thankful for family and friends. I am thankful for Jesus Christ and that he died for my sins so that I can return to my Heavenly Father.
Have a happy day!!!!
This is my outlet of dealing with my diabetes. I was born in 1973 and although I am sure I had it for years, I was diagnosed in 1998 with type 2 diabetes. I have never had control (other than the 9 months I was pregnant). I have neuropothy in my feet and can no longer feel them. I am also seeing that my body is breaking down faster and I feel like I am 80 some days. So, I am trying to change things out of fear and this is my blog about it.
