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.
My health has gone down quite a bit and my glucose levels have gotten way
out of control. My dite has gotten worse than ever as well. My doctor and
I just had a discussion and has told me that I have an infection in both
of my legs. They are treating it and have told me that I should be ok but
they said I must get my dite under control! I may not be able to reverse
the damage that has already been done to my body but know I can stop it
from getting worse! Don't be like me and let things get out of control. I
have suffered bad and you may not believe it but one day you will too if
you don't keep your sugar under control!
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. They must also watch what they eat very closely. I have created several spreads sheet to do just that. They can help you keep up with your average glucose levels at any given time and contain graphs that can be very useful in monitoring your condition. They can also help you track the food you eat. They are very easy to use and do 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. These spread sheets are designed to cover a full year at a time and can be started at any time during the year. They are great for printing and taking to the doctor with you so that they have an accurate picture of your levels. I hope they will be a big help in controling your diabetes!
