I am back to blogging and I promise I will be posting again at least three times a week. I am going to try to get it up five times a week, but three I will guruantee. My life has been so hectice lately, I really have not had anytime to sit down and blog. My diabetes has been under pretty good control lately, I have been satisfied with my numbers. I am waiting for my A1C number to see if I will be satisfied with that number also.
I am taking 5 different classes and working also, which does not really leave me too much time to be looking online at blogs, but I am trying. I’ve also been really busy trying to collect money for the ADA walk coming up on October 27. It is important to me to raise funds for the Step Out to Fight Diabetes campaign. There are three local walks within three consectutive weeks, but unfortunately, I can only attend one.
I’m still trying to lose some weight for my brother’s wedding in November, but that hasn’t been going too well. When I eat healthier and less my sugar levels are so much better, although lows tend to happen so much more often though.
Once again, I just want to thank everybody who does read my blog, it makes me feel like my voice is finally being heard.

Wow, I can’t believe it has really been almost two weeks since my last post. I’m sorry for all of you that read my blog on a daily basis, I know I am not that interesting so there probably isn’t a lot. I have just been so crammed with my final year of college starting and new apartment and work, and Eagles season starting up soon. Way too much to do, way to little time to do them.
My 5 classes I have this semester shouldn’t be too tough, one class is pretty hard, but oh well. But when I add work into it, thats when it starts to get a little complicated. I’ve been trying to test my sugar at least three times a day, which I have been doing. I would like to get to testing 5 times a day, but thats in the future.
I know I posted on the 23rd of August or around there that I was scheduled to get my A1C done, but oops, I haven’t gotten around to that. I need to get to that immediately. My mom back at home in Pennsylvania gets on me everytime I talk to her, “Did you go get your blood work done. The doctor is going to stop seeing you as his patient if you become an uncompliant one.” That is very true, and yet I still slack off and don’t go and do the bloodwork.
One reason for that is, I hate getting bloodwork done. I would only allow my grandmother to take my blood because she did it for a living, but is now retired. So since then, I’ve been scared to have some random person I have never seen before take my blood. Even when I was admitted to the hospital when my blood sugar was 858, half of my family works at the hospital, so my mom or grandmother knew all of the people anyway, so I felt comfortable.
Also, I am back to trying to lose some weight. My brother is getting married on November 3, and I am the best man. So I have to look like the best man I can, so that means dropping about 15 pounds. I was down to about 205-208 by working out and eating about 1,200 calories a day, but then vacation came, and I couldnt get back into the dieting frame of mind after that. November 3 is a special day for another reason to, its also the same day that my girlfriend and I will be celebrating being together for 2 years. Guess it will be my brothers anniversary date now.
