Not much going on with the scale; the typical bouncing up and down, but that is okay. My exercise hasn't been what I would want it to be. I had great plans for yesterday, but seems it is time to replace my running shoes. It always happens the same way...I start running and my calf starts aching into the run. I stop and it stops. I start back and the ache starts. I pushed through 15 minutes yesterday, and then checked the mileage on my shoes. Yep, just as I thought, right at the 200 mile mark. Last time this happened that is where the mileage was and the new shoes fixed the problem. So right after work I will go get new running shoes. I can tell that I am much more irritable when I don't get any exercise in for a day or so.
I had DH put in a call to his doctor yesterday. It is two days in a row that his BS (after eating) was dangerously low. I say that as an EMT, and not as his wife. The glipizide he is on was an addition to his other meds when his A1C was a little elevated (in the past). Now that he is eating good I am thinking that we will not be able to wait 3 months for the doctor to re-check and adjust his meds. I am anxious to find out what the doctor says when he returns his call today (he wasn't in yesterday). Definitely, something needs to change and very soon. Of course, DH took a little advantage of it. So he sends me his pic (keeping in mind that he was a hospital corpsman and should know what to do), but I do understand that it is different when it is yourself and I also realize that when your BS is low it can muddle things some. So he sends me a pic of his glucometer and says I do not understand. I say you need to get one of those chocolate truffles that you took to the office and eat it right now. It is because you are eating right and the meds are effecting it. So he takes it again and still not up enough. I say don't you have glucose tablets in your backpack? I know you had them in your computer bag before you changed to the backpack. No he doesn't...well what the f^&k happened to them (that is what I am thinking to myself) and fuming because I am sure he threw them away!!!!! So get a soda and drink that and it should bring it up. Which he did, but then he stops on the way home and gets a cup of sugar (the coffee) and then when he gets home and takes his BS and wonders why it is 191!!!! I am like you didn't need that cup of coffee that you stopped to get.....the soda was plenty. *sigh* Frustration!!!! I repeat FRUSTRATION!!!!
Okay so I have the paperwork filled out for him to join the gym and I will start and see if he follows suit. The good thing is I can always cancel him if he doesn't go. I hope he does, but we will see how long it lasts because this is certainly not the first time he has joined the gym with me. I hate to sound pessimistic but there are just some things that I have to just kind of see how it will work out. I guess you could say that I am trying to manage my expectations.
So my plan today...finish work, get new runners, come home and get in a good run that I couldn't get in yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed that the plan will work out right today.
I hope you all have a great day and be kind to yourselves!

Hope things go well with your husband. He is still fighting it a bit. I think you are doing the right thing by letting him figure it out. You can lead a horse to the water etc etc etc. Exciting about new runners. Do you have a favourite brand?

Wow - as someone who was married to a smart man who sometimes acts not so smart, I can identify and you have my empathy. I guess that's the 'human' part of all of us that may sometimes do something out of 'habit' and not contemplate the 'cause and effect'. As someone trying to get their own T2D balanced you have my empathy again because it is crazy the first few weeks trying to balance meds vs food. Giving you a virtual hug (and if you recall, I am not a hugger) for being patient and remembering to take good care of yourself during all of this. Remember on those run's that you have to return, LOL.

Liv - I had been a Nike Flex but the last pair I bought were Asics and they have served me well. I was doing some research on Runner's World and always interested in what others like, and why. A couple of friends really like Brooks. I have a feeling I will probably go back to either Nike or Asics; they have both served me well. What do you wear?
Bella - thank you. The other thing that has really flew all over me is this...he has a great group of people that work for him (one of them is my best friend). Anyway, last night he said that one of the folks was going to email me some links on diabetes. Now I didn't say anything but in my silent voice I am like "why the hell do I need links about diabetes sent to me? I have already read more than I probably need to, not to mention I am an EMT, to boot!. Why are the links coming to me and not you????" Which then makes me angry because I am thinking do these people think that your diabetes is worse because of things that I am OR am not cooking for you??? OMG! If that is the case I am going to be so freaking pissed off. Seriously??? I told my BF that it embarrasses me to think that others might think he is worse off BECAUSE of me?? Now it is not the persons fault that is thoughtful enough to want to send me the links...it would be my HUSBANDS fault if he has shared with folks but NOT how he got to this point. My BF is like "girl this is not on you, he has better opportunity than most people because you have done everything you can. This is all on him". So this has made me cry and just hurts me. Then I get really angry and am like just how much did he read up on menopause and how having your ovaries removed and dumped right into menopause and all the things it does...how much did he read up on that? How much did he want to really talk about the effects with me? IF the shoe were on the other foot and I said to him that a co-worker thoughtfully wanted to send him some articles to read about how menopause could be effecting me, my feelings, my memory...he would be SO PISSED OFF. So thank you very much for the virtual hug because I really need it today and I know you aren't a hugger at all. Days like today I really miss my Mama and wish I could pick up the phone and call her.

OMG! I'm sooo sorry because that totally SUCKS! I do understand. It almost feels like an invasion of privacy or really sharing something so much more personal than should be shared with others. I'm going on a ledge to say that wasn't his intention because surely he recognizes how fabulous you are. Your BF is right. And no one offers comfort like a Mama so I'm even more sad for you but I promise she's right there in your heart... just talk to her. Much love for you today. Blow that other crap off. He was just thoughtless but I'm going to wager not intentionally trying to hurt you.

Bells - thank you, I know you are right. I know he wasn't, and I also know that had he said, "this is because of my own doing" it wouldn't have gotten that far. You are right; she is always with me. Thank you so much, my friend.
