I will be honest- I write a lot of good blog posts in my head that never made it to the blog. Life gets busy, and often I get on a path that I didn't necessarily choose. <\/p>\n

However, my blog just happens to be the longest living diabetes blog.  <\/p>\n

There re was a time when I was a very active blogger and I was a very good diabetic.  My A1c was never over 7 and usually under 6.4<\/p>\n

Due to a lot of life problems I did a lot of slippage.  Some of it was burnout. Some of it was due to some life events.  I actually haven't felt control of my life for quite a while. <\/p>\n

I had a job I loved, teaching a subject I was passionate about, though the working conditions were pretty bad.  Old building, poorly maintained and the victim of people who didn't care. I always felt bad for the students. <\/p>\n

Now I am semi retired, teaching those same subjects, remotely, online which I do truly love. I have a volunteer job I really like, and people I like working with. I have a monthly income, and while it isn't a lot, I could make it if something happened to my husband. I have good health care.  <\/p>\n

So I try not to dwell too much on the past and should haves. <\/p>\n

I have recently lost 20 pounds with Jenny Craig and got my own to 6.4. I am doing everything I can to keep from surgery especially orthopedic.  I work out pretty close to every day and have a good reason for not. <\/p>\n

I make use of my tools, especially my diabetes alert dog   And just keep going on as best I can. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
