Last week I did a 4 day Empowerment Course here @ our Diabetes Education-as I have said before the Education here in Newcastle Australia is 1st class-I learnt quite a bit-there was only 3 people in the class (should have been 10) silly people cancelling out and loosing the opportunity to learn more about their Diabetes-every day we had to record our levels amount of insulin taken, and this was discussed with an Endo who came in every day-surprise suprise-my levels were down to normal the whole 4 days, but since being home for a week, (with lots of stress) yeah you're right they have gone sky high again-I decided that I would have a stress free weekend, so told my family and friends that from Friday night to Monday that I would not be answering my phone, or front door to anyone-boy what a weekend it has been-so quiet and relaxing-every couple of hours I would do 1/2 hour of relaxation with relaxation music-how wonderful-guess what-my BGL's have come down to normal again-I've set goals, made up a weekly menu  and just completly relaxed-I feel so good that I have decided to do this once a month-my family and friends don't understand-but I don't care-I'm doing this for me-I have also started going to HeartMoves which is put on by the Heart Foundattion-it is a gentle exercise programme for ovet 50''s, 2 x  times a week for an hour-it's quite fun, and a great way to exercise-well more later
