Project Me
Well, I had an appointment with my endocrinologist this morning. She is the Doctor that takes care of my diabetes, and thyroid. My A1C level, which is averaging your blood sugars for the last three months, was 11.9. Normal is 6.0, last time, mine was 11.2. Not good!! My blood pressure was high, she increased my medicine. She has started me on more insulin, I will now be taking 5 shots a day, instead of 4. We discussed my project me plans, she was very helpful, as far as my diet, and exercise. I will be starting a low carb meal plan on Monday, along with an exercise plan. The exercise plan includes walking, doing exercises using wii games, and exercising with stretch bands. She caught on quickly to the fact that something was bothering me, so I poured out my heart to her. Boy, did I ever, including crying like a baby!! She was very concerned, said she highly suggests that I get on anti- depressants. But, I am high on Jesus. I survive day by day, because of Him, and with Him. Awwwww, I have taken another step toward my healing. The tears were cleansing today, but, there are more to come. But, that is ok. God's got a bottle with my name on it, storing those tears, after He wipes them away.

Dear Heart, do not despair. One thing that I've found very harmful to blood sugars is too much stress and not enough exercise. Since you have a lot of stress concerning your marriage, your lack of human fellowship and your health, I think it would be very helpful to have about 30 minutes of silence and deep breathing daily. This is where you do nothing but lie down, maybe music but no words, and just let your body relax and still your mind...no words. Just breathe and each breathe release all the hurts and all the pains, body and emotional. I really think this would help you to lower your blood sugars along with whatever the doctor recommends. I also think you should take her advice and go on the anti-depressants. You do not have to go on them forever. When you feel better you can ask her about going off of them. But what is happening is the chemicals in your brain are now out of balance and they need to be rebalanced. You need the medicine for that just as you need daily shots to help your blood sugar. I pray you will start to see results soon. I love you. xx
Evening Denise, I like what you said about your tears being a cleansing. I too, believe sometimes we just need a good cry. It refreshes the SOUL! I will be praying for you on your NEW ADVENTURE becoming more healthy. This is your STEP of FAITH! GOD will honor your obedience....keep us informed and we will encourage you all the way! Blessings~~~Roxie
What a blessing to have such a caring Doctor. I am so glad to hear that you have a great one that is taking good care of you.
Your strength is encouraging to me. I can so relate to so many things you write about.
God bless, Lisa :O)
At the end of trials, we find we have a testimony. Prayers for you. Also, consider Bachs Rescue Remedy stress drops. They help some people who are stressed without having to take a 'drug'.
Praying for your continued health and well being. So glad you opened up and let it out. It is so cleansing when we do that. God surely is storing those tears your diamonds in a jar.May the Lord continue to bless you and may you be lifted above he storms of life as He carries you to Victory.
Blessings
I'm glad that you have the sort of doctor that you can bare your heart. That is at least a good portion of good health, in my opinion. Sorry those numbers weren't as good as you hoped, but maybe with Project Me you'll be able to work them down.
Praying that God continues to uphold you.
GOD BLESS!
I prayed for you just now Denise and just keep on trusting our God and he will help you all the way.
You are in the right road. With him you can do the impossible.
Have a nice day.

Glad your doctor is so caring. I find taking walks, enjoying the fresh air and beauty of God's creation is so uplifting for the spirit. I'm proud of you for being so open and sharing your struggles, bless you. Much love to you.
Love you dear one! ♥ praying
i'm glad you went to the dr and glad you were able to tell her how you are really doing. Hopefully those changes will help you feel better soon.
Praying you're always strong in His mighty power! Take care sister and God bless. Rooting for you!
I hope you stick with the exercise plan! I think you will be amazed at how much better consistent exercise makes you feel physically and emotionally..
Yes, glad you've got a caring dr. and she let you share your heart through tears. Praying your Project Me will help you to lower all the levels that are too high.
He love you so much and so do I.
It is good to release those pent up emotions....do not be afraid to take some medication to help take the edge of your depression and stress.Just tell the doctor you want a mild dose. The Lord may have provided the info for you.
praying for you!
I'm praying God grants you his strength for project you! It's a good thing to take care of the whole self.
You are a delight to the Lord and to me.
