News of the Week

This week I got some news that wasn't so pleasant. Let me give some back information. I have not been feeling great for some time now. I have had somewhat high blood pressure, slightly high cholesterol.....things I thought only happen to really old people, not me. So my doctor did some tests, one of which was a fasting glucose screening. Well they called with the results on Friday and told me I have pre-diabetes. From what I can understand, this can be treated with diet and exercise. I have to take a class with a dietitian this week. I love to cook(and eat) so this is gonna be hard for me. I especially love to make desserts. It seems all the things I really love to eat are not good for me to eat. I have a family history of diabetes so I really have to take this seriously. I know things could be much worse....this at least is something that I can work on to reverse. So please pray for me to make good choices. I'll update you on what I learn in my class.....

Hi Lisa
I am sorry to hear of this news but I am thankful it is something you can handle. I have TONS of recipes for sweets that don't involve sugar if you would like me to give them to you. Also, I have a passion for exercise and would love for you to join me. Let me know. I am praying for you. I know this is not the news that you wanted to hear, but it is in God's hands and oh how He loves you.
