update

I can't even begin to express how much my life is changing right now. I have been seeing Dr Morstein for a few weeks now, and my blood sugar has improved greatly. We worked on diet changes, which haven't been difficult, and also changed my insulin dosing. I am now following the law of small numbers, and have reduced the amount of insulin I take by HALF. All of these changes came about almost instantly. I haven't had a blood sugar over 200 in weeks now.
Even with some terrible personal developments that have sent my stress level through the roof (tow of our kitties passed away int he last 3 weeks) I have been able to keep my health in check. It is really amazing. Yesterday we traveled, and I was so worked up. I had not been on an airplane since my DKA in June. On some level I felt like the trip last June caused me to get sick, I was fearful of living through this trip. But I kept my blood sugar in check yesterday, and arrived safe and sound.
Visiting with my family is going to be a challenge, my mother is owns a bakery for goodness sake, but I have all the tools to take care of myself now, and I know that I can.
I'm not worried anymore.
