I'm having a really hard time with going back to school and getting used to the new routine so if I could have some extra support that would be great.    Thanks.

You will be fine. Did you talk to a dietitian or your Dr. about it. It has only been 3 years since I was diagnosed at 64. The more you stress about it the higher those pesky numbers go up. What works for me might not work for you. I am just taking it one day at a time. That is all we can do. I stay away from soda, even the diet ones are not good for you or anyone. Just be gentle with yourself. The other day, I ate a hamburger with everything on it, 1/2 an order of fried onions and 1/2 an order of fries, a big handful of chocolate chips and I was still within the limit about 8.0 or 145 American. The next day all I had for breakfast was 1 medium bagel and cream cheese, coffee with milk only and I was way over 12.5 or 225 American. Go figure that one out. If you are on insulin be very careful of the lows. Those are dangerous. Hugs

    I had gone to the grocery store.  When I wheeled my cartback to my car I just stool there a minute.  A few spacesaway a Tesla Cyber truck was parked.  I had seen it on theroad a few times for a few seconds.  But not close up.It looked like it belonged to 2126 and not 2026.  I wasgoing to take a picture of the car but the owners cameback and drove away.  It was an ordinary middle age...
