Bad BG Days

High numbers, good eating, good bedtime numbers and horrible mornings!  Ugh.  Cause: bad infusion sites.  I've had two in the past week and a half...it makes me so frustrated when I go to sleep at 108 bg and wake up to a 378!  There wasn't a low involved, either, as I was up during the night and was fine.  On Sunday, I woke up again high and it wouldn't go down!  I waited almost 3 hours and nothing, so I gave myself a shot, which finally worked and I could finally eat!  Changed that sucker after extreme sidewalk shoveling was completed which should have caused a low, but didn't.  Stupid pumper.  I'm guessing my upper sides of my stomach area are not the best.  I'm going to try putting a site in my arm one of these days...just have to plan the clothing, sleep wear, etc. 

--I also learned that sweet potatoes are not my blood sugar's friend.  So long yummy things, you're reserved to days of insulin gorging.

Boozy Beets?

I'm reading up on lacto-fermenting vegetables, in preparation for my abundant harvest I'm hoping for this year.  One random article said, "Just be careful not to cut beets too small as they contain a lot of sugar and can produce alcohol."  Hmm...beet wine anyone?  Does it exist?  Further research is needed on this one! *** Oh good Lord...it does exist!  http://jinman2871.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/beet-wine/   from randomly searching and found the Prairie Girl blog!

Summer Project!

Nothing to do with diabetes here, I just wanted to show the awesome cabinet I found on Craig's List and hope to be picking up tonight!  It'll be my summer project, and Jeff has already said 'you'll never finish it' oh but I will.  We desperately need the storage in our kitchen and there's a big, empty wall that needs something on it too.  Here it is, not lookin' too hot.  The red paint is actually glass in the cabinets.  I'm very excited.  It needs a good re-furbishing...not sure what finish I want it in, any ideas?

Finding Your Garden Why

  I created a new website! It has my blog and the herbal products that I'm creating from the home grown herbs and flowers that I grow. Please come on over and follow me at: www.katiebirdsgarden.com        Recent events have encouraged—and maybe forced—many people to grow their own food. This isn’t new to humans, but since people started living in cities, residential lots became smaller, time has become sparse, not many people were growing their own food. Grocery stores are abundant in most places, home delivery enables us to order things and receive them almost instantly. But people seem to be feeling the need to come back to the “roots” of supporting themselves, at least a little bit.      So, you feel the need to garden.   Before going out and buying all the seeds, you should think about why you actually want or need to do it. Some things that pop into mind could be, wanting to eat fresh (or maybe clean/more organic) food, reducing gro...
