All you ever wanted to know about Carbs...

That is what I learned this morning. I was nervous about the class that they send you to to learn about how to manage diabetes. I didn't know how comfortable I would be learning about this personal health matter with several other people in the room. It actually worked out well. I learned a lot and had all my questions answered. They gave us a meter and I called the doctor for my Rx for the test strips and lancets. When we tested in the class, my after breakfast blood sugar was good, so keep praying for me. If I can control my glucose with diet, then I won't have to take insulin and little Ashlyn will be just as nice and comfy in her little home as if I didn't have Gestational Diabetes at all. I will start exercising (walking) to help control the sugar levels too. Did you know that walking just 10 minutes can lower your blood sugar by 50 POINTS! Let me just tell y'all from someone who just learned a whole bunch about glucose levels....that is ALOT! My Granddaddy walks religiously and has for as long as I've known him. He has the right idea! I will be following in his footsteps. I have learned so much from my grandparents and they are so special to me. I am SO VERY blessed to have gotten to know them so well over the years! They have passed down knowledge and wisdom that I could never have gotten anywhere else and I am so grateful that they cared enough to spend time teaching me. And don't get me started on where in the world I would/could possibly be without their prayers. I've said often that I think my Granny has a direct line to God's ear. She is a prayer warrior like none other! Thanks Granny and Granddad for always being there! You Rock!

I agree with you about Your grandparents. They really are prayer warriors. I enjoy their company too, getting to live so close after so many years so far away has blessed me. BUT I miss my babies tooooooooooooo!
