diabetes - What a bitch!

diabetes

My MD says my cholesterol is fine but my A1C is very bad. So, I've renewed my exercising
  • 30-35 minutes/day, 5 days/week with the last 5 minutes a cool down
  • circuit training 3/week (Moanday, Wednesday and Friday)
  • considering starting push ups again and snicker at the thought of shitup situps
The problem is I'm American and I want that "instant gratification" in spite of my knowing that "instant gratification"is a myth. So, I'm bummed and worried that this is all futile. I might as well, say fuck it (as I have for decades), surrender and wait the insulin prescription in November. Well, I'm tired of myself giving up and I'm going to continue trying. I'm supposed to be checking my blood sugar twice a day, twice a week. (i.e. waking up and 2 hours after eating my evening meal on Tuesday and Friday). To this I've added:
  • weighing myself (depressing!)
  • making sure I actually go to the Sheridan Center and work out
We'll see if I can't put the A1C down again...
