My mom was a diabetic. She developed diabetes as a child. First tested at the age of 18, they discovered it.
She would ALWAYS steal candy, cookies, all kinds of sugary foods from her parents pantry as a kid.
It’s something that she would never control. But today YOU CAN with this blood sugar tracker!
Blood Sugar Tracker
I remember as a kid, my mom telling me things like, “I’ll eat this whole cake because I can just take more insulin.”
Years and years of abusing her body, she struggled with many side effects, but would never take care of herself. She wanted to die. She was slowly killing herself.
As a teen, one day she asked me to commit suicide with her. She told me that she would inject me with the insulin needle, enough to kill me, and then she would kill herself by injecting too much insulin in herself as well.
I remember running to the bathroom, completely scared for my life. I was just absolutely terrified. I stayed in the bathroom for over an hour.
When I came out, she was sleeping and I ran to my room so as not to wake her and just cried.
I don’t think I ever got over that. I don’t think a person ever CAN.
How can your own mother want you dead?
When she died at age 65 (she ended up killing herself), honestly, I was relieved. She was a complete and utter monster to me my entire life. Constantly beating me, up until I was 18 when I threatened to call the cops on her.
She wanted her body donated to help others when she died. Out of respect for her, I worked with the people to donate whatever we could.
The ONLY thing she was able to donate was her eyes. There was not one single other thing on her body that was usable to help other people.
Why? Because she had destroyed her body her whole life.
Tears. So to ME, you can see why this post is very important to me.
Listen, I NEED YOU to take care of yourself. I do not want one child to ever have to go through what I did. The pain, the abuse, the torment.
If you have diabetes, or if someone you love has diabetes, they have to take care of it and their blood glucose levels. It is NOT something to play around with. And using a device to check your blood sugar several times a day is a part of taking care of yourself.
Whether you yourself are a diabetic, a family member, you’re a school nurse, or even a caregiver, these diabetes tracker printables are a perfect way to keep track of blood sugar levels.
They are perfect for logging blood sugars on a daily basis. They help you to know the best times to check your blood sugar, allowing you to track your blood sugar levels for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and at bedtime.
Simply record your meal, time, sugar level and intervals of 1, 2, and 3 hours. There is even a notes section to write down important information or reminders.
If you struggle with low or high blood sugar levels, this printable will help you monitor them and help you keep it under control.
What you eat, the exercise or activities you do, and even stress can affect your blood sugar levels. This must-have diabetes tracker spreadsheet will keep you organized by tracking and logging your levels.
When it’s time for your next doctor appointment, don’t forget to bring along these printable sheets to your health care provider. They need to see this stuff.

The more I read your blog (which I’ve been doing for a long long time), the more I am amazed at all the things you have overcome. And love how you help others! My parents are both diabetic and don’t want to take all the steps for caring for themselves. I am going to see if they would be willing to use a tool like this printable to help them out. Thanks for all you do!!!
Sarah Titus says
So glad to help, Cindy. 🙂 Sorry to hear both your parents have diabetes. My mom and ex-husband had it too. It’s definitely not fun. Praying they will be willing. <3

I love checking out this website daily and seeing all the new stuff. I came across this freebie and found it to be very helpful for my aunt who is currently diabetic due to medication. The fun spreadsheets made it a little easier for her to adjust to the new lifestyle. Thanks!
Sarah Titus says
Wow, I’m SO glad they’ve helped her. That’s so awesome. Thank you for sharing. <3 <3 <3

Thank you, Sarah, for your love, caring and generosity. Having followed you for several months now, my heart breaks for the abuse that you suffered at the hands of your mother. You are an amazing woman! So many would use their abuse as an excuse to not improve their life, to blame others for every little thing. Not you! You are worthy!!! You glorify God with your talents that He has blessed you with. You enrich others with your gifts and talents to help us help ourselves as well. Thank you!!! May God bless you, Sarah! Concerning the blood sugar log sheets, my husband is a diabetic. While it is very well controlled, he still must be monitored. Your blood sugar tracker sheets will make it so much easier to keep track of his records for himself and for his doctor. Up until now, I have been using a pocket-size spiral notebook to record all of his readings. This will be so much easier, and vastly more colorful!!! Thank you so much!!!

So glad it’ll help you. Sorry to hear about your husband, but hopefully this will make it a little better to check it. 🙂

Oh my gosh! Sarah this is a wonderful download. I can’t wait to put this up at my parents house for my dad. My dad had a liver transplant earlier this year and he has to track his blood sugar and this will really help.

Sorry to hear about your dad. So glad this will help. <3
