Glucose and insulin Excel document
I have had diabetes for many years now. When I first found out was around 20 years old. I was
young and seemed healthy. I didn't pay any attention to the warnings that the doctors gave. I
still ate the way I wanted to and lived what I thought was a healthy life. I knew that I had
family members who were diabetics. Some have even lost their eye site and had their legs
amputated but I felt good and didn't care. That was a big mistake!
Over the next few year my high glucose levels was doing damage to my body. I now have
neuropathy and suffer with the burning, stinging, and pain in both of my legs. Quite often
bringing me almost to the point of tears. I am lucky however that the doctor says that my
eyes, kidneys, and the rest of my body still seems to be ok.
I have put off taking pills or insulin for years. This was partly due to financial problems
and also part in fear of the possible side effects of the medications. A few months ago, due
to the kindness of a local group of Christian doctors, nurses, and other healthcare
professionals, I finally decided to get the help I needed. They started me on one pill and
also insulin. I am still working on my diet and exercise but my sugar levels are getting much
better!
If you have been told you have diabetes PLEASE get the help you need! Start eating right! Get
plenty of exercise! Take the medications that the doctor recommends. It will not be easy but
your quality and length of life will be much better!
Good luck,
Mark Davis.
Glucose and insulin Excel document
Being a diabetic requires that a person monitors their glucose levels very closely and also keeps track of the amount of insulin they take. I have created a spread sheet to do just that. It also keeps up with your average glucose levels at any given time and contains graphs that can be very useful in monitoring your condition. It is very easy to use and does all the calculations for you. All you have to do is enter the values that your doctor recommends and the values you get when you test. It is that simple. This spread sheet is designed to cover a full year at a time and can be started at any time during the year. It is great for printing and taking to the doctor with you so that they have an accurate picture of your levels. I hope that it helps you as much as it does me.
