Diabetes Watch and Yoga Poses

Diabetes Watch

From the beginning, there have been warnings about the possibility of developing diabetes as a result of taking the prednisone.

Several weeks ago, Dr. A asked that I start monitoring my blood glucose levels. I didn't do it. Well, he didn't ask for results at our last appointment, but asked again that I check myself.

So, now I have a home tester kit and have begun the process.

And this morning, I'm a little high...gotta keep checking.

It's scary, because I'm limiting my fruit/sugar intake...a lot!

On the other hand, I have had much less energy to cook real meals. So, I crave more quick snacks. I have to watch everything.

Yoga Poses

Yoga has become a real pursuit. I take books out of the library, download dvds and rent them, all in an effort to learn new poses so I don't get bored with the routine.

And I've discovered so much interesting information. Great books.

And when I do the poses, I really perspire. I know, like you needed to hear this?

But for me, who once could run around Prospect Park, and practically never break a sweat, this is really quite an experience.
