Thanks, The pushing it up yes. And I have always done the stuff
with the nails. But it doesn't help.

I'll start using the lotion. One of the problems is my hands
are always cold so I try to warm them up first too.

It just isn't easy to do.

also try holding your hands down and run hot water over them to warm up your cold hands.you can also try whirling your arms around. I know it sounds silly but really helps to get your blood flowing.

I'm sorry that you are doing all the right things, and are still having trouble :hug::hug::hug:

Sticking your hands between your thighs helps warm them up pretty good. That's one of the warmest parts of your body. You know what they say tho... cold hands, warm heart :hug::hug::hug:

Thanks everyone

I bought both a new monitor for sugar tonight, and an monitor for
blood pressure. I got it after we returned from Kokomo.

So I'll try it tomorrow. We got my car, an book case, antique china
cabinet which are both for Derrick's new house. And then Dale
bought an motorized riding chair that one of my sister's had
gotten for my mom years ago from her for $40.00 dollars.
He was just wanting it to play with pretty much. But if it stays
working it will be great.
We will buy the nice living room love seat and couch that are
many years old for Derrick's House too for $40 each. And that
is really going to be good buys too. My sister had really wanted
to sell these all along so its fine with me to buy them. I was
afraid she would want lots of money.

And the big thing was Dan is buying a car of my sister Dee's husband
Walt. He is a lot like my husband and buys vehicles a lot. And
has an red older car that Dan will enjoy for $500.00. So I think
we all came home happy.

We had a good day.

It was fun.

When momma is happy, everybody is happy!

Well I got the results of the blood draws today. My a1c was lower
than its been in years I'd say. Wow 5.7. That is real good for
me. My blood glucose machine is working better I don't now
but I did I think find out that its mainly one finger that I can't
use one finger to take blood out.

It wont get enough out period. The others are working pretty
good. So I'm just going to stay away from it for now.

I am I hope working better with my blood pressure machine.
I had some problems with it yesterday. But it worked better
today, when I figured out what the problem was. So that
was good.

Donna :grouphug::hug:

that is great

Donna, that is an awesome a1c!!!!!!!!!
congratulations!

I'm happy that your sister didn't want a lot of money for all that furniture, and Derrick will have a lot for his new place :)

Congrats on your lower a1c! You must be doing something right! :)
You may want to look at a new glucose testing kit. Some of them only need a teeny bit of blood.
