I Went to see Dr C.,the Endocrinologist, yesterday and received the ultimatum that medically she has done all she can do and my blood glucose numbers are still hitting the 200's. The ball is now in my court, diet and exercise and losing some weight is my only option. The unspoken word between us was "insulin." I really don't want to become dependant on insulin.
In addition to diet and exercise I'm supposed to keep a food diary. The good thing about Dr. C. is she's a little scary so maybe I can keep up with a food journal. I've tried keeping them before and I'm good for about three days, but going back to see her without a completed journal would be unthinkable.
My daughter tells me that once I get into the habit of exercising I'll love it and will look forward to it. I'm not so sure. This morning I walked with my not-so-miniature schnauzer, Cash. The pedometer said it was just over 6000 steps. It wasn't so bad.
