Numbers

I've got a lot of numbers in my life, and some of them are whats making me consider taking new directions.

2 & 1 - I used to have type 2 diabetes. Now I have type 1 diabetes.

337- That's my current weight. I've added 40 pounds since I went on insulin

42- That's how old I am

80- That's the number of units I take in my ' basal dose' of insulin each morning

22-40 - that's the number of units of fast acting insulin I inject before or immediately following each meal

3- That's the number of pills I take a day- Metformin for my diabetes, simvastatin for my cholesterol and zestril for my BP.

Taken one at a time, I never really gave them any thought though they became a part of my life every day. Looking at them all together- well that's making me think that I need to find the motivation to make some significant changes in my lifestyle
