Damn the Holiday Season but Just for one reason!

In the last 4 years I have developed an interesting relationship to any holiday that involves lots and lots of food. I have come to realize that food is often one of the centerpieces to celebrating holidays. And more often than not the food is not exactly diabetic friendly! The other problem is that the food is so good and extremely tempting! A month ago when Brandon and I went to my parent's house for Thanksgiving there were the traditional Voorhees things to eat. It was delicious, but didn't tide over too well with my BS. I have decided that when it comes to home cooked meals (especially my Mom's or Dad's or Grandma's) I have absolutely NO self-control. I completely give in to my Sugar/carboholic side. What is a gal with the betes to do? I haven't found the gumption to overrule my inner sugar demons and control myself. I am really good most of the time!

From being totally out of whack to controlled!

For those of you that follow my other blog, I have recently become a foster mom. The few weeks preceding getting the two little boys that are now in my care, my blood sugar was out of control! It was topsy-turvy, and crazy! It was up, down, and all over the place which had me not feeling so well. The funny thing was that I couldn't blame it on stress, or hormones either. I didn't know what was going on. Then with getting these two little boys you would thing that trend would have continued because of the big change it brought on and the additional stress that came with it. but amazingly it brought on healthy sugars! I have been pleasantly surprised that I have been waking up every morning with perfect numbers on my meter, and testing with great numbers throughout the day! Let's just hope this continues in to the upcoming holidays!
