It’s been about 5 weeks since I gave up my Pepsi and at the same time, any other added sugar kind of foods.\u00c2\u00a0 When my last A1C reading came back, I realized that if I didn’t get my sugars under control myself, that I would have to start taking more heavy duty medication — and the idea of having to give myself shots is about as appealing as a root canal.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe less appealing; at least they give you Novocain for a root canal.\u00c2\u00a0 I can barely stand to hit the trigger on the itty bitty teeny weeny needle for pricking my finger to get a bit of blood to test my blood\u00c2\u00a0sugar. It barely hurts; and it’s pain gone in a flash.\u00c2\u00a0 Doesn’t matter; I just hate needles, and no logic can combat that.<\/p>\n
