@dorisena I think they are recognizing more and more that isolation is causing mental health problems such as depression. It's a very tough situation. Most days I'm OK, but then I will suddenly have a day when I am very depressed.

Keep up the good work with your A1c. It is difficult to deny ourselves the little pleasures of eating an enticing snack. I am trying to not purchase anything that will be overly tempting. Of course my husband has no problem so I do have to purchase and cook things for him. I know this may sound like an odd "addiction", but I LOVE toasty Cheezits! I can't buy them anymore because I know I will eat too many. My husband loves Goldfish so I buy them for him but they aren't as cheesy tasting so less tempting for me.

Our son and daughter get very upset if I mention going ANYWHERE except for walks in an area that is not at all crowded. My son has been maintaining a fairly decent social life doing things outside with his friends but my daughter is very much isolating herself. She and her husband are isolating strongly right now and getting tested so they can visit next week for a few days.
