Numbers go up and down

Sometimes it's hard to see what I'm doing right or wrong. One of the best things I have learned to keep is a daily written food diary - along with my numbers. In this way I can see what causes my numbers to be high or low.

I notice if my famly is not around for me to fix meals for them, I tend to get lazy and not eat right. I find my numbers getting so low - it doesn't register on my glucometer. I haven't found my numbers gong high not that either is good.

I did find my numbers jump up to 197 and it scared me and then I realized I had been mixing spices and copping some rather strong veggies. I started washing my hands and with each washing - my numbers came down. I think I have to have to wear gloves from now on.

Another thing I have noticed is since I was diagnosed in March, I started takeing vitamins and mineral supplements specifically for the diabetic and my nails have started growing! I haven't had nails like this since taking prenatal vitamins. My doctor thins it's the selenium and calcium. I realy don't care - like my long nails - except they are now the cause of my typo's.
