MamaGroot's Journal, 03 September 2017

As I am educating myself more and more about this disease, the scarier and scarier it gets. I need to pull my head out of the sand and snap myself to attention. Not that I thought this was all a joke when I was diagnosed, no, not at all. I guess it's just that I had no idea of the magnitude of issues and complications that come along for the ride when a person has diabetes. I've learned enough in the last few weeks to totally scare the hell out of myself.

Although I have no intention of becoming one who has the mindset of it's OK to eat more carbs and just inject more insulin, I honestly have been thinking this week about NEVER.EVER tasting ice cream again; or cake; or good wine; or a nice soft roll...on the other hand, educating myself about what carbs do to blood sugars is damn scary...and on the other hand, never ever tasting those items again in my life is also pretty depressing. Perhaps with time, and after I get "controlled", then there could be room for a taste of these things. Right now though, I know myself all to well and if I taste, I will EAT. So no tasting.

Everyone who knows me knows I am a Google Queen. Knows I research everything, take all things into consideration. So I've been Googling; and I've been reading a bunch of the diabetes educational stuff from different authors and different perspectives. For right now, I am trying to follow the Reverse Diabetes FB page and their very strict food list. Lucky for me, I am familiar with it, it's very similar to "page 4" that Loren and Kim from LCFL speak about.

Shutting up now...
