At this moment in time, everything is going in the right direction. My mum is getting closer to controlling her diabetes. She hasn't been hypo in three weeks. the wine is definitely the source of the problems. The next stage is to get her diet stable, and to get her mental thoughts away from what her blood sugar levels are, but i think we are getting there. The diabetic nurse told me if she cant sort it out she will need to go into a nursing home, but i have some faith.
Aisha is also doing better, last week was the very first week she has been completely dry for 7 full days. That even included a school trip where she normally has most accidents. Kim spoke to a mother who's son is autistic and he still has problems wetting himself at 9. Not what she wanted to hear! We have a meeting next week with various support staff to discuss Aisha's school move.
The trousers are fitting better, and i think the weight is starting to come off, but i haven't weighed myself. The diet is definitely cracked, i know what i have to do and am doing it. The exercise has been disappointing but i ain't beating myself up about it, i am very active with gardening and painting fences, and the summer nights makes it all the easier. Tonight I pick up Aisha's new bike. She is desperate to learn to ride her bike, the complete opposite as last year when she fell and had that mental scar. If all goes well i will buy a bike rack for the car and we can head off to the country to explore!!
