I've been less self absorbed with my own health lately because of ongoing family health issues. My Mother-in-law is still in ICU, on and off a bipap (non Invasive ventilator). She was given medication to raise pulse rate blood pressue, thank goodness its working . If it did not work they planned to stop and restart her heart this morning.
The stress of everything going on has moved my progress back by weeks. With spending time at the hospital ICU waiting room and hours of calls I'm just not eating right when I remember to eat at all. I pray she can pull through this time and the next time and next and next.
I thank God she was alert when she was taken to the hospital otherwise the hospital would of had to abide by her living will. She's agreed to procedures and bipap. Her living will states DO NOT RESUSCITATE and no life sustaining equipment. She's agreed to everything.
Focusing on my own struggle coping with T2 Diabetes seems selfish. The last few days I've had large spikes, when I remember to test or even eat responsibly. I hardly ate Saturday and most of Sunday.
Last night my glucose was 223 after eating la choy and 2 egg rolls. Yes I know the wrap on egg rolls is loaded in carbohydrates. My glucose is erratic again but I'm not testing as much as I should.
Diabetes can be life threatening also. I'm going to try to do better.
