I'm terrified. Seriously.

My blood sugar was 162 last night before going to sleep. It was the same in the morning. And now, 2 hours after a breakfast that had a grand total of 33 carbs, that was mostly cottage cheese and yogurt and fewer berries than I should have had, it's 221. I called my doctor but he's not in. He doesn't return calls so I'm calling him again when he is in, at 1PM.

I've been taking the Glyset exactly as ordered.

I'm heading straight for insulin, aren't I?

I don't know if it's any comfort, but my Dad was on oral pills for diabetes for years, mainly because my mother was afraid of giving him the shots. Ultimately, he had to take insulin, and they're both actually happier. My Mom says it's easier than she thought, and it allows my Dad more freedom to eat what he wants.

If I have to take the shots, I will. My dad refused, and it's one of the reasons he's not here anymore. Also, I've given myself shots before (Luprin, for the IVF attempts) so that doesn't scare me.

I just feel like I'm falling apart. And I'm doing the right things now.

Yes, you're doing the right things. I've been reading your journal. It sounds really tough. What's your full Hebrew name?
