How Hard of a Whack With a 2 X 4 Does It Take To Get My Attention?

     Well, once again I chose, deliberately I might add, to take up residence in the State of Denial. Temporary residence in that state is quite nice. You can do what you want, and (for me) eat what I want. Yes, ignorance is bliss, albeit temporary bliss, but still, sigh, bliss.
     There is a day of reckoning that always comes, however. A day when your residence in Denial must come to an end, and you are pulled kicking, screaming, and clawing the ground back into reality where you must face and accept things as they are. Yes, that has once again happened to me. When I checked my blood sugar for the first time in months, and it was the highest I had ever seen, I knew that life for me had to change.
      Now comes close monitoring and strict control on my diet to see if I can still keep my blood sugar in normal ranges without medication. We'll see.
