This sounds like confession! Forgive me Father, but I have sinned (I'm not a Catholic!)
Last night after a heavy day at work I had not 1, not 2 but 4 homemade cheese biscuits (not by me, but purchased at a farmers market). They were lovely and I knew when I was eating them that I was being bad. Now this morning I feel like a failure as I've been so good, well I think I have, over the past 2 months. My fasting bg this morning was 9, the range is normally around 7 - 8, now and again between 5 - 6 .
I'm pretty sure that I'm to be offered metformin and simvastatin after my blood test next week as I was told it was the dr's 'practice' to give them to patients who were diagnosed. I hate the thought of taking tablets for life :cry: . But I work in a care home and see the results of strokes and folk who didn't take statins when given them, so I will have to take them. My husband doesn't help as he says to eat a healthy diet and exercise (apart from the biscuits last night I have been good) and that I'm being a hypercondriac worrying about my bg levels. My weight has gone from 10st 11lbs to 9st 7lbs in about 8 weeks. Exercise consists of walking, not at a gym. There is a new swimming pool being built here, so waiting with anticipation for that to open as there will be aquarobics on offer then. I HATE swimming lengths in the pool I find it very boring.
I think I'm just looking for someone to say 'yes you are doing fantastic' and a big bar of aero chocolate :roll: . Instead I will have to make do with one square of 85% chocolate after my lunch, if I'm a good girl
