Yesterday I had a meltdown ... over you.
It was a cross between a panic attack and a pity party...and it wasn’t pretty.
I put all the training I used in my private practice to help people overcome the pain of Type 2 Diabetes in one place and called it the D2Goal (diabetes 2 goal) Method.
Working online has come with some challenges.... so much for me to do and to learn (technology is a challenge for me).
Yesterday... the learning curve overwhelmed me. I’m learning how to blog...worse how to set up a blog... then twitter...Facebook... everyone telling me how...in different ways.
Yesterday I had enough. I was frustrated and overwhelmed and I said (loudly), “I need someone to tell me what to do TODAY and when I get that done, what to do next! I have my life to live and I don’t have time to figure all of this out by myself!”
That’s when I got it....when I finally experienced how you probably feel dealing with diabetes.
You don’t care about a “method” ... you just want ...
When managing a chronic disease, it is important to start treatments early. This is particularly true of type 2 diabetes. A new study published in the journal Diabetes Care indicates that aggressive early treatment can help preserve the body's ability to manage blood sugar levels.
Most recommendations say that people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes should focus on eating a healthy diet and getting more exercise before resorting to medications. However, the new study suggests that this may not be the best advice.
A team of researchers from the UT Southwest Medical Center administered several different medications to a group of newly diagnosed diabetics and tracked the participants' health over a six-year period. The results showed that this early intervention preserved the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin, which is critical to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
"We can potentially change the course of this prevalent disease, which would represent a breakthrough,"...
Are you living life on autopilot?
Is this the life you imagined at 18? When did you last spend time dreaming about the future rather than just paying the bills and fixing the meals?
A few years ago, my sister and I took a little road trip ...
We set out after dark for a cabin in Oklahoma we were having a good time visiting and laughing and then I became aware that the road changed and became really bumpy. This got our attention. I realized I could barely see....the road looked narrow and then I stopped because I couldn’t see the road at all. It looked like the road just stopped. I had to back up that narrow road in the dark! The next day we went back to look... we almost drove off into a rock quarry! I looked at the spot we stopped and it literally was the end of that road. Had we continued we would have ended up in the bottom of a rock quarry....
The other day I was riding down the road (Bob was driving) and I realized I was feeling tense, a bit on edge like I was in a hurry somewhere and was maybe a bit late. I WASN’T...and that’s my point. Studies show...We live life rushed. Our adrenaline is kicking in during everyday activities... So many times we live life rushed. We rush to wake up....I’m terrible about this. I own my own business (which brings its own set of stressors lol) but I jump up intense like I have a boss in my den that is going to reprimand me. We rush to work...we rush to complete projects...we rush lunch....we rush home.... we rush to cook supper...
You get my drift. We rush through life and our bodies are showing the stress. We even RUSH to the gym! All the hormones that are RUSHING through our bodies are defeating any effort we are making to achieve ideal weight, lower blood sugars and blood pressure and all this rushing robs us of enjoying life! Look for ways to slow your pace and improve your...
SMALL WINS ARE BIG GAME CHANGERS.... Pick one area to work on TODAY. No matter what get that one thing done. DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW.
CHOOSE ONE THING AND DO IT.....no matter what.
I am a fantastic BAKER. Kind of weird for a dietitian .... but not really. I became a dietitian because I had my own food issues and knew if I could learn how to master mine....I could help others win their battles. Anyway.... When I start eating sweets.... I CRAVE sweets. I will get up in the night and if they are there....I will eat sweets when my strength is the lowest because I am half asleep. So how do I start winning again? One day at a time.
I set a goal to fast from sweets for 3 days. That's as long as I can set the goal in the beginning because my body is craving sugar. The first day is pretty tough....
HOW TO TURN THIS AROUND? Have a health challenge such as Type 2 Diabetes?
It’s important to turn it around!
I tend to have a weird energy that defies electronic devices (or that’s my theory!)
A phone or computer can be working great until you put it in my possession and
then normal processes, don’t process. This is an area of great frustration, but I
have learned to do one thing. Before I call for help, I have learned to stop and
check for updates. After installing any updates ... I reboot the device. Nine times
out of ten, this is enough for the device to begin operating efficiently....until next
time. There is one thing I am very certain of: Updates and reboots are essential
to me completing the t...
