diabetes

So, Hub had to leave work yesterday
As he was having double vision
Big time

His boss drove him to the hospital
To be checked out
Turns out his blood sugar had skyrocketed

He is a borderline diabetic
Which basically means
he has it
But not bad enough for insulin
And finger pricks
And blood sugar daily tests

Just bad enough to watch his diet
And pop a pill everyday

Well, he pops the pills
But for some reason
He can't see the BLATENT problem
Brownies, cookies and Coke create

Along with 60 hour work weeks
And 5 hours sleep
And mega-stress at work

You know the deal

So, he is now having to
Prick his finger
Monitor his blood sugar
Completely avoid the
Brownies, cookies and Coke
(No problem, I told him
I'll take care of the cookies ;) )

I also tried to explain
That the odd piece of fruit
Or the odd carrot stick
Won't kill him

So hopefully we'll get it fixed up
WE are also working on getting his
Schedule altered
At least until the baby is born

Then I'll have him home for 20 weeks

Yes, he is taking parental leave
And will be with us EVERYDAY
From the end of April
Until mid-September

Should be fun
We hope...
LOL!
