@justme67 @danybegood1 I totally agree with Dany. It's inconceivable that in this day and age a nursing home would not have a diabetic menu or monitor your choices in the kitchen. Ham of course tends to be high in sodium which isn't good for you either. You are not a senior but many people in nursing homes are and as people age they are more apt to have developed diabetes, and also to be on a reduced sodium diet. I have both problems.
You, or someone to represent you, should talk to them about your diet in the nursing home. Something should be done.

Hey Dany, Sorry it has taken so long to reply. I have memory problems and forget A LOT OF STUFF THESE DAYS! I do have to eat things with flour and other carbs like potatoes but I do it in moderation. BELIEVE ME, I HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD MANY, MANY TIMES of moving but what stops me is the thought that what if the place I end up is SO MUCH WORSE? I have since talked to a dietitian that at least SAID she comes here every 2 weeks and that she would stop in the next time she is here and all times after. I think it has been OVER 2 weeks but I could be wrong. I have also started on Trulicity. It is a once a week injection that is NOT insulin but it helps the body produce it’s own insulin. My blood sugars have been SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER SINCE THEN!!! 🙂

Welcome back @justme67. Thank you for keeping us updated with the use of Trulicity. I hope that it continues to work for you. I look forward to following your progress.
