I was able to keep my blood sugars close to normal both before and after breakfast today (about 102-103) for the first time since I was diagnosed.
Small triumphs.
And a big Boo! to shoe stores and shoe makers who don't keep wide sizes of running shoes and hiking shoes. You know who you are. Shame on them.
But Asics makes a wonderful diabetic running sock (not that I run, just walk). Kudos on them.
Let's see if I can continue today's trend on sugars.
Oh, and I should be getting the OK on Monday to start gentle weight training on my left arm. Finally! It's healing well.

BIG BOO to those shoe stores! I sometimes like a wider shoe, rather than going up a size. *hates having my toes squished*
That's awesoem, KK! Good luck with weight training! *huggles*
My local New Balance store has been very accommodating in getting wide-width running shoes. They have always managed to have at least one or two styles in stock that are both wide enough and fit comfortably in other areas. (I have a high arch and my feet are wide near the ball, plus I have short toes, but my heels are normal to narrow, so getting something that fits the front of my foot without the heels popping out is sometimes a challenge.) I've also considered boy's/small men's shoes at times because they do run wider, and sneakers and hiking boots are somewhat unisex in appearance.
I'll have to look into the Asics socks. :)
And more YAY on healing well! *gentle hugs*
Don't overdo that workout on your arm when you start the wieghts, though. Take it nice and slow!
HUGS!!!
