So as I've mentioned before, I was recently told by my doctor that I have elevated blood sugar and I'm pre-diabetic.
Not a big surprise, since Type 2 diabetes runs in my family. But in a way, a surprise, since I'm still in my 30s.
I've had some success in modifying my diet and exercising more.
On the minus side, it means less rice, less stuff like bread and fruit, and pretty much no dessert.
On the plus side, this means lots of high protein breakfasts! Yay!

Almost 5 Months!
Sorry I've been so remiss in posting. The days really fly by nowadays!
I'm returning to work soon; I'll let you guys know how that works out.
And some not so great news - I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant, and I expected it would go away after birth. But it did not, and now it turns out that I'm pre-diabetic!
It's meant totally changing my diet, watching my carb intake and making sure to exercise more regularly. And it's a permanent life change.
Not fun, but I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. Every cloud has a silver lining.
When I think about how much that sucks, I look at the little monkey, and remind myself of how lucky I am.
Here he is - he's very roly poly now. He's launched himself off his play area and onto the floor, about to roll over!
