Needless to say, Jerry has picked up and straightened up for the most part, hes been taking bsugar levels and eatting carefully. Hes even writing down most of his food diary, although hes skipping parts, which irk me but ok hes making the effort to be responsible for his own health. HE no longer is direly sick like before so im not backpacking him anylonger. he can walk on his own legs. He will come and ask , hey if i eat this do i need to eat that? and or can he have this or that if his bloodsugar is high or low and i just question back to make him decipher it out. if its wrong choices, i might say hey how about a this and or that instead an dif he chooses to ignore the suggestion, well then he will have to cope with the out come himself because I wont be stepping in. I guess he will have to be hardheaded and learn the ropes the hard way. but as i said , hes been doing quite well for him, logging his bg levels a nd eating right.. he had a great day on the 9th! he was between 95 and 117 all day!! and he rode his trike around the block to boot! i mentioned that i had noticed he seemed more apt to be up and about and doing things when he kept his bg level in range. he just looked at me and went about his business. LOL. maybe that will sink in too???? i guess my fight and what made me so angry...is how do you make someone care enough about themselves as you care for them??
