I almost forgot I made this blog.  That third shift job was horrible for my health.  The manager and the shift stress drove my blood sugar up so bad that I am now definitely diabetic, not borderline.  I wasn't able to control it with diet, exercise, and herbs so I went back to the doctor a short time after I quit the gas station.  After a year and a half of trying glyburide I'm now on Actos as well as glyburide.  The combination seems to be helping. I went back to work at the delivery restaurant that I was working at, but now I've lost that job and trying to pay our bills on just my husband's income and whatever money I can scrounge through selling my art and other items I can bear to give up.  It's making this holiday season pretty depressing, but I'm trying to make something work.  Hopefully I can get a new job soon.  I'm also looking into other things to help my health.  I'm attempting to live a bit more of a green life by recycling more, using re-useable grocery bags, and more green cleaners.  I'm trying to make positive changes in everything I can change hoping that will change the energy around me in a positive way.
