Isn't life grand.

I try to be as good as possible about keeping our blog updated with our family happenings, but I fail to include myself in this documentation much of the time. So because this is supposed to be used as a family journal I thought I should do a little catch up on me.

Well here is the latest. Who knows what these are for? Hummm

That's right folks, Diabetics. While on vacation my Doctor let me know I was officially a Type 2 Diabetic. Hip Hip Hooray? Right? NOOOOOOOOO.

I was a bit more upset about this than I realized. Not only have I been dealing with my new news a few months ago regarding my under active Thyroid, but now this.

So I not only have Hashimotos Disease,but now Diabetes's too.

I have been going to a specialist at the U ofU for my Hasimotos and now I get to go up there for Diabetic classes and my nutritionist. I will say that I am very grateful for my doctor. He is really good about calling and talking to me if I am upset about something and always smiles when I start in with my list of questions. Now I have started to just type them up and hand him a sheet of my questions at the visit. He is very thorough and patient. And the specialists at the U are WONDERFUL. Love them. I was a little taken back after my first visit. The doctor came back in after talking with me for a while and had several people with her.I thought, "Crap, things must notbe good if she has to go round up backup." But no, because they are part of the University there are always students with them. I have gotten used to having extra help around now. But yeah I have been very happy with everyone I have seen thus far. I never feel rushed, it's great.

So that's the newest drama in my everyday life. I was pretty stressed out at first but after meeting with my nutritionist I felt a lot better. I am struggling this time around with the dietary adjustments. It is basically the same as when I had the gestational diabetes with Jamison. I guess doing it for him was a good motivator. I just need to get into that mindset again.
