I feel lost at the moment... More Frustrated than anything.... I wasn't feeling well on Sunday just felt funny... But I went to all the BBQ's and Fireworks showing that I couldn't go to... and that night sitting there next to my Nana Maye I told her i wasn't feeling good and I think i would go ... Well her being a nurse for 20 yrs then she opened up her own cake decorating business.... She seemed concerned asked me what did i meaabout feeling funny... I said well I feel funny... You know kinda shaking lightheaded and i got a slight headach... I persisted that it was just cause i worked 70 hours last week... Nana insisted that I take a blood sugar test.. she continued to say that it ran in my dad's side of the family .. So after letting her bicker just a bit with my mom helping I let them take it .. it wasn't good it was 232 .. okay your blood sugar is suppose to be between 70-120 so I thought well its just cause i didnt' feel good they both told me to go to the doctor in the morning ... what did I do i went to work ... Oh and I was feeling terrible... but i went anyways to work... I tested my blood sugar again before I left for work that morning it was 401... Not good...
so that morning i called my doctor... seeing i was feeling icky .... and he told me to go straight to the ER cause he wouldn't see me with that high blood sugar i needed to go to the hospital and if i came up there he would just send me to the hospital ... So thats what I did I went to the Er... I left work at had Dale Take me there They immediately rushed me in ..I was like WOW didn't have to wait *lol* but they started doing the basics taking blood pressure which was high btw and checking my breathing and bloodsugar... Then came the IV's and shots of insulin... blah I hated that ..... but any who i stayed there like that while they came and took blood and all that stuff then about 5-6 hours later t hey were like ... Ma'ma your a Diabetic... but the good news is your not pregnant... Thye wanted to keep me over night but i insisted I was fine and they released me ....after I talked to a nurse about it all and she gave what seemed like a book of paper work for Diabetics.. Thus I went adn got my perscription that i will prolly ahve to take the rest of my life and My blood sugar machine thingy that right now i Have to test 6 times a day...The testing strips are not cheap i'm telling you this...

I had to say good buy to soda and candy and all that stuff.......but its okay... if it keeps me healthy...

then that night i was still feeling like crap you know i was icky feeling well my blood sugar started rising again to very dangerous lvls and I hadn't had nothing bad to eat just a salad that was listed on my things to eat... So I called Dale adn we went back to St. Francis and Repeated the earlier procedure except the taking blood and telling me I am a diabetic.......

But thats okay maybe i will feel better and stuff... But that was my first adventrous with it ....
anywho have to run talk to you later......
