We got really good news at the doctor appointment yesterday. When I inquired about scheduling all the future appointments, Dr. Brown shared that he thinks I just need to come in once a month! This was shocking news as we'd both been led to believe that I'd be there once a week in the mornings. I was also relieved to hear that I can (and did) schedule these appointments late afternoons rather than at 9:30am. Whew! I am feeling much relief about the school year.
This is all the result of my blood sugar control being right where we'd like to see it. I must admit that this has been tough and requires much monitoring. I have stepped it up from 6-8 finger pokes/day to more like 12-15. I also have been continuing to wear the sensor even post study. It seems to be a very helpful tool for maintenance.
It has helped to be on summer schedule because I can really watch what I eat and spend time cooking good meals. I've hit a few Farmer's Markets for fresh stuff and it has been fun spending extra time in the kitchen making sure I know what goes into everything. I even got a food processor which I may some day use to make our own baby food.
Tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary and we'll be celebrating at a 'fancy' place in the city. Looking forward to that!
