Diabetes-Johanna

It's that time of year for me and my diabetes - time for eye screening. Well I have done this a few times during my 15 years with diabetes, it's just a part of living with diabetes. First you get pupil dilating eye drops (they sting), then you have to wait for 30 minutes and then they take photos of the bottom of your eyes in a very dark room. The procedure will show any changes, like small bleedings, in your eyes that are diabetes related. I do have some small bleedings, first showed after my youngest was born in 2015. When you've had diabetes for more than 10 years these kind of changes are common. Because your pupils are dilated your eyes get really sensitive to the light and they can't really focus so you often get blurry eyesight.

Dinner - 390 kcal: Something more sturdy then lunch just to keep the blood sugar level for some excercize. Swedish fika ;) - 195 kcal: So breakfast is set at 325 kcal however I never reach that level and really with diabetes you need some "extra" calories during the day for snacks, s...
