Went back to the doctor last friday.
Got my bloodwork back and it was better than I thought it would be.

My doc said I was looking great....
Told me several times he could see a big difference in me compared  to last week.

He said he considers the kind of pain I was in to be torture.....
Constant torture.....
He could see I was released from  the pain...

He also switched me to insulin pens.
A fast acting insulin pen - Novolog
A new long range backgound insulin pen - Levemir.


These pens are different than syringes....
Takes a different injection technique....
I've been learning it.....
They are much more convenient using syringes....

If you have been reading my blogs, you know I'm a severe needle phobe....
A few years ago I couldn't even LOOK at an insulin pen.
Proud of myself .....
Maybe someday I'll be ready to use a pump.....

My new pain medicine isn't quite the miracle I thought it was though.....
It wears off sooner than I wish....even though I take it 3x a day.
When it wears off I have a hard time walking and my body hurts.....

Still it has changed my life.....
I'm thankful for any relief.

If I control my blood sugars....
All this pain from my neuropathies....
Well it might recede or even go away....
That's what I'm praying for......

Hope your Sunday is peaceful and when night falls you are happy.

Love,
Candy
