#Diabetes Day 156

8:45 p.m.
Good Supper - baked bean, slaw, corn and broccoli - BG 130 :)


I'm really happy today. At our house my dear hubby does the grocery shopping - that is something that we slowly morphed into over 30+ years of marriage. And it works well, for the most part. But then there are those other times. Most of you probably know those times. The ones where a person in our life, well, okay, admittedly, primarily the men in our lives don't actually engage full brain energy in decision making. Such has been the case the last few weeks as I put sugar-free ice cream on the grocery list. 


I told Hubby Dear that a friend had posted on facebook that Wal-Mart had their own brand that was sugar-free and fat-free and actually tasted good. But alas, hubby brought no ice cream home for me. He said they didn't have any Wal-mart brand ice cream that was both sugar-free and fat-free.


The next week I asked him to look for sugar-free ice cream again - any brand. No ice cream.


Last week I asked if he was looking just for the Wal-Mart brand or any and he said any. But still no ice cream.


Today he said he was going to go to Wal-Mart and I asked him to look for sugar-free ice cream again. He said he looks every time but that I was welcome to go with him and see for myself. So I did go. 


I came home with two different half gallons and was tempted to buy a couple of other flavors . . . ALL sugar free ice cream. 


So how is it that I now have sugar-free ice cream in the freezer that has not been there for the last few weeks? Well, it's because the carton reads "No Sugar Added" as opposed to "Sugar-Free". I never requested "No Sugar Added" ice cream - I requested "Sugar-free" ice cream.


I'm also proud of the fact that i didn't clobber him upside the head with a box of Edy's Fruit Pops that I also nabbed a few boxes of.


ummm . . . yeah, frozen treats are a weakness of mine.

Day 100

2:00 p.m.
Fasting BG was good - 98. I'm always happy when my fasting is good. I had oatmeal again today, but I didn't test after breakfast. For one, I tested post-breakfast yesterday and I should be testing "random" and for two, I really didn't want to destroy that Happy Fasting feeling.


Dear Hubby went to the doctor and told him the numbers I had for his three random BG tests I did on him and the doctor agreed they were high, but has made no diagnosis. Since Terry had been fasting in anticipation of a blood draw he went ahead and had that done today. The doctor will call him with the results. He didn't request stat tests since Terry has none of the outward symptoms such as tiredness or blurred vision etc.. He may get off with a Pre-diabetes diagnosis and warning, but if he doesn't heed that warning and go ahead with some lifestyle changes he could still be facing a certain future with Diabetes. We just have to wait this one out.
