That’s approximately how many times a day I praise God for the gift of life, the friends I have made, and the things he has managed to teach me through Diabetes.
The numbers are everything.
The numbers are nothing.
I guess it's time to take it in my stride.

Numbers.
They can be so powerful when taken in the proper perspective. They can also be so hurtful when taken in the wrong perspective ("bad" BG, etc).
You are such a strong woman!! It's been 40 days since G's diagnosis, and I only hope he can take all his numbers in stride!
Loved your post. Why don't you share it in TuDiabetes too?
