Guilt and a Guessing Game

One of my biggest issues in my diabetes management is “knowledge.” I don’t mean that I don’t know what I’m doing or enough about the disease. Trust me, I’ve had that covered for awhile now. I’m talking about the simple facts of knowing how I am in this disease.

This is an official warning: if you are a boy you may not want to read this post because it deals with girly issues and bodily fluids. Heck, if you’re a girl and get squeemish when talking about girly issues and bodily fluids you may not want to read it either.

Thursday, I started with the concept that the standard directions for taking a medication may sometimes cause a person to respond poorly to its intended therapeutic effects, and used that theme to segue into last Sunday’s ride to North Brunswick. One of the biggest issues for me in planning a route to the Brunswicks has been that of crossing...
Health issues can be especially lonely at times. Your body is racked with pain, your head is spinning from a low, or you’re just worn out from a night of blood sugar issues. Chronic issues don’t exactly create a great place of friendship and community. Yet it’s so vital for us chronic care patients to bond together.

I woke up this morning at 240 and did a 3 unit Humalog correction. I knew part of that high had been from the few sips of Coke I’d had the night before to settle an upset stomach. I hadn’t bolused for it, knowing that I’d rather run the risk of a high than the risk of a low overnight.

As people with diabetes, we are told time and again to make sure we schedule regular oral care visits, as diabetes makes us both more susceptible to oral disease (cavities, periodontal issues, etc.) and makes it more difficult for us to recover from the procedures needed to treat that disease. “Why,” you may then ask, “have you...
I’ve been nursing a lot of highs lately. I’m not talking about the mediocre 200s, but full blown 400s and 300s. Both Saturday and today, I’ve been stuck well above a comfortable range.

I loved D-psychologist Jessica Bernstein’s assertion that aiming to control your blood glucose levels with diabetes is a lesson in frustration. Rather, the best we can hope for is to influence our BG “by combining enough insulin and exercise to burn the sugar,” she says. Right on, Jessica! — which is I’ll talk about

This was going to be the year that I just took a pass on the fundraising; closed down Charlie’s Angels until next year. I just felt burnt out. We’ve done lots of fundraising for JDRF since Charlie’s diagnosis. It’s hard to get up for it every year; especially knowing that with it comes much rejection and wasted energy. It’s also tough to...
