I have not been sleeping all night. This time it’s not because of Kendra. I’m thirsty and I’m waking up to go to the bathroom one to two times a night. The last time this was an issue on any sort of regular basis is before I was diagnosed with diabetes. As soon as I was being treated for it and my BG levels came down, I stopped the frequent potty trips.

I posted a while ago that my test strips expired. And that I have not heard back from my doctor the results of my latest HbA1c. I was supposed to call them, but never got around to it. Now I’m concerned. I don’t know where I’m at as far as my BG levels, and I don’t know how I’ve been doing test-wise. I really need another kick in the pants. I’ve been stuck on this plateau forever it seems and this lack of motivation to take proper care of the disease I have will haunt me later. I know this.

My eating habits are a little better since I have time now to actually think about food and eating on a more consistent basis. For those who don’t know, I’m not overweight because I’m a prime candidate for using a diet patch. (Meaning I don’t need to control my appetite or have a food addiction or stuff myself on a regular basis.) My issue is I don’t eat consistently enough. I don’t have an appetite most of the time. Because of this I tend to skip meals then make up for it when I do eat, which is not good in general, especially for someone with diabetes. Since I’m doing a little better in that department, why am I feeling the effects of high BG levels?

So here’s my self kick: I WILL call my doctor, get my test strip prescription renewed, and get the results of my last HbA1c! Today… RIGHT NOW!
