MORNING BLOOD SUGAR READ: 110

"You are what you eat and "we become what we think about" two truisms worth considering.

Diet is tantamount  to being healthy. It is taking me time to adjust to the "Diabetes way of living."

A Vermont nurse read my blood sugar at 265! I have her note stuck to my office wall:

• No orange juice
• No donuts
• No cake
• No cookies
• No candy

"Target blood sugar < 120." I am working on it!

I goofed in buying delicious Hood Cottage Cheese with chive - 4% as opposed to Lowfat 1%. Must be diligent in label reading!

Tomorrow I visit Dr. Sanjay at the VA. Wish me luck!
