CONTROLLING DIABETES

After Grandma finished letting Grandpa know how unhappy she was when he failed to do his monitoring of his blood sugar like he should each and every day, she immediately went and took a nice, relaxing bubble bath.  When she does announce that she is going to take a nice, relaxing bubble bath, we all know that she is really upset.  She gets that way about Grandpa.  She sure works hard to help him stay healthy.  She is forever keeping up with monitor options and supplies that might benefit Grandpa by making his life simpler, since he has to do this certain routine every day.  Sometimes Grandpa surprises Grandma by talking about how much he appreciates what she does, especially when it comes to helping him keep his diabetes under control.  He likes to tell us how in the beginning, years and years ago, that he was in complete denial about having diabetes.  But of course, Grandma does not do denial.  That little episode did not last long at all.  When Grandma decides on how things should be, that is the way they will be, no doubt about it.  Grandma always gets her way, because her way is right when it concerns Grandpa.
