Being my mother's DE

First her blood sugar was 184 this morning so she making progress in the right direction. This hard, being a long distance Diabetes Educatoe. Plus her treatment is quite different than mine. I personally would like to sit down with her doctor and figure out what she is thinking. I am still waiting on an A1C so we will know just how bad it is. She hasn't been feeling well for almost a year and she was been going to doctor to doctor to figure it out. I am upset that blood sugar readings were not taken earlier in the process. I want her to go to a nuitrionist. I am not really up for that. For now I am trying to get her to write down everything and reduce carbs. She freaked me out when she told me she did her water aerobics with no food. I am also trying to get her to test only once a day and fasting but tested after the exercisiong and of course it was higher than she started, but I had to learn the exercise thing the hard way. The excuses make me smile because I have heard them from my own mouth. I need to get her to a CDE too. I also set her up with Diabetes Forecast and Diabetic Cooking and have invited her to DLife.
