Time is something I do not have a lot of. My work commute can be upwards of an hour each way, I have homework at night, and my mom to take care of. I have to plan because going to the store is not an option for me right now. I need ideas for putting things together I can take for lunches, quick breakfasts, not so complicated dinners. I can't see to read labels, and while I can dig through products online to find them, it takes forever. I would love to hear from you all what is working.

I am 52. I got my labs Wednesday morning and by Wednesday evening I was asked to come into the doc to talk about my 9.2 A1c. First, denial, then panic, and now my emotions are just all over the place. I check my sugar when I can, and every time I do it just stresses me out. I wonder in the beginning if checking all the time is good? I am blind and I am working on a way to be able to do that accessibly. There is only one talking meter, and I am not sure if my insurance is going to cover GCM. For now, I have to depend on my husband, and that needs to stop ASAP, besides the fact that I work full time, and can't check then. started Metformin ER today, and I am eating the best I can while trying to get a new grocery order in. Oh yeah, no more weekend drinking. I've been taking care of my mom and everyone else it seems, and I am also trying to complete a certification course. Over weight, but not nearly as much as I thought I was. Apparently I have been losing some pounds which surprised me a little, too. I am here to read, and for support. Apologies for the not very active profile. I just haven't done much but read posts until now.
