Diabetes 101

So in the last 15 days or so I have been dealing with CRAZEY stomach issues and pain and constant nausea....NO I'm NOT PREGO!!
I first went to Urgent care and all I got is that I had major heartburn...Then I had to give up hours at work and get off early cuz I wasn't feeling so hot and went to the ER and was told I possibly have an Ulcer caused by Bacteria...Then Back to the ER(oh my favorite place LOL) on Wednesday...ALL day...the verdict was that I have nerve damage to my stomach which means my food doesn't digest as normal in fact slower.  Also I may still have an Ulcer but gonna get a scope down my throat to check it out!

So the reason I am telling you all this is that I screwed up a little...For the last three years I wasn't managing my diabetes the way a diabetic should and now Im dealing with stupid issues that could have been stopped.
I found out the other day that not only do I have a little neuropothy in my feet (nerve damage) I also have nerve damage in my stomach! Yeah weird never thought something like that could happen...let alone me.

I screwed up, but I am stopping anymore progression of nerve damage by managing my diabetes. Its hard and trying sometimes and a lot of times it feels like its time consuming as well. I mean really now I have to take more meds than I did when I was first diagnosed and even back then if I would have been on top of things rather than a slacker, I probably wouldn't be going thru all this.

So I AM taking control of my life and radically organizing it the way I need to be.  What a way to start the new year but things happen for a reason...

OK

So I Wendy am trying this blog thing one more time.  I have a  lot to say and sometimes not the right person is there to hear. So I may be a little abrasive, I could be mellow, but this will be my sounding board. Im not holding back! Be warned and prepared!
Luv Wendy
