LOL My husband of 40 years says I an supposed to be 60 before I get forgetful, I just tell him my mind is already full and cannot process more! Let me see, 28, that makes you 9 years younger than my youngest son, and 16 years older than my youngest daughter. You will fit right in! My youngest son's wife is also a nurse. Nursing shool is tough. No wimps allowed, so you must be made of strong stuff! Your folks are proud of you I am sure. I know you know what the stress of this is going to do to your body. It seems you have gotten the right idea of how to control this diabetes. Your numbers are coming down nicely. Remember to always test regularly, especially in stressful times. Easier to prevent problems than to correct them. I will be anxious to watch your progress, health wise and school wise. You have chosen a great field, give it your best and it will bless you in return. Hugs, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
