Am I annoying you?.....

I have been on information overload since the diagnosis of doom.... I guess I really need to stop calling it that since it has not lead to my downfall huh?...  Mostly when it comes to the foods I can eat and those I should avoid, you know all the tasty ones. It is vital to my health to know how many carbohydrates I am shoveling into my mouth any time I eat. Like did you know that a cucumber has carbohydrates if you eat the peel but not if you take the peel off????....Since I am not insulin dependant (thank you dear Lord) and do not want to be, I want to keep firm control over my blood glucose as well. Both of these things go hand in hand, to many carbohydrates can lead to high blood glucose to put it simply. This leads to the possibly annoying part.... I seem to spout carbohydrate information or food facts to everyone all the time. I feel like the guy friend that just bought a new sports car and wants to show it off and give you all the details on it, or the girl friend that just got killer new boots at an awesome price and she wears them with EVERYTHING from jeans to skirts to shorts even if she looks silly.  Like any person with something new in their life it consumes them for a time and in turn becomes "the talk" for those around them. I just hope I'm not really annoying anyone with it. I share when I have good blood glucose days, or I lose a pound or two, or when I try a new recipe that actually turned out good. I talk about it to help myself remember these things and well because it has become a new constant in my life so it will always be a topic of conversation, maybe not everyday but certainly on occasion. I wish there were others around I could annoy with it.... ever since "the day" (better than diagnosis of doom??) there has been one person I wish I could talk to, my mom,  Mary (Suzie) Suzanne Williams. As a child your mom was the person you ran to when you were scared and needed comfort, how I wanted that after I got the news. This is not to say that I did not get love and support from my husband and the rest of my family because I did, they were all wonderful. But it would have been great to find comfort in the strength of mom's embrace......oh heck that got sappy didn't it....sorry about that.
Any who.... if I have annoyed anyone, get over it cause it won't be last time, hehehe
