Weight Loss

Well it's been a while since I wrote about my diabetes. I had the clinic on Tuesday and I am glad to report that I lost another 2.3 kilos so all in all I have lost 2st 6lbs in weight which I am really pleased about. Unfortunately, my blood sugars are still not under control and am now taking the last step of upping my dosage of metaformin to 6 x 500mg a day on top of my injections and all the other pills I have to take. I really don't know what else to do as I have tried all the things the diabetic nurse has suggested and nothing seems to take the blood sugars down. This morning was one of the best readings at 13.2 which is still very high. If this doesn't work then when I see the specialist in June she might say I have to go onto insulin which is the very last thing I want. Anyway, will cross that bridge when it happens.

Meantime I have used one of my stash cards that I made last year added a few finishing touches and an insert for our cousins 87th birthday on Saturday. I hope it will cheer her up as she is now residing in a home down in Surrey.

Flowers and pearls

It's Monday again and I have one card left to show of the series I did last week. As I said I still have a couple left to do and must get on and finish scrapbook. Maybe I will post some pages if you are patient with me.
Tomorrow I finally have my appointment with the diabetic specialist at Stracathro Hospital and I am all nerves today thinking about it. The appointment is over one and a half hours so don't know what to expect but I suppose they will be showing me how to use the injections and checking me out health-wise. It's long overdue I know but still doesn't make it any less easy for me and I am in such pain today with my sciatica that I could cry.
Anyway, changing the subject here is the card made for my DIL's birthday in September [see I did say I was ahead of myself lol].

Flowers

Today's card was at the request of my Dutch DIL who wanted something special for her sister's birthday. Sat down with her yesterday morning and after much picking and discussing we came up with this.



I love the colours and how they all blend so well with each other in this one it looks so sweet!
Haste ye back..........
