Okay, this entry isn't political, or about the economy (especially since economics class almost drove me insane), and will be something of a change of pace for me.
I have type 2 diabetes. I have been trying, off and on for several months, to get to where I could consistently test my blood sugar. Problem was that I was never drawing blood. No matter what I tried.I was starting to feel hopeless about it. Everyone I talked to steered me away from the idea of alternate site testing. Not accurate enough. I had no clue what I was going to do.
So, I set up to see a diabetic educator today. We tried something that I was wondering about...a lancet device with two extra depth settings beyond the typical device. Setting it on the highest setting, 7, actually worked!!
So, let me publicly encourage anyone who has struggled with a treatment regimen because some aspect of it or another is preventing you from not treating your condition the way you ought to. There is hope. There is a solution. It's just a matter of finding it. never be afraid to seek help and support. Persevere and be stubborn. Something good will come of it!
