First day at work!

Kategori: Allmänt

My first day at my new/first job today went great! Wasnt supposed to get there until 10am, but was early, because I went swimming in the am and then to bfast with my dad and by the time I was done it was only 9am.. so I came in at 9.30am instead haha kind of typical me though, usually on time or early so I guess that is good! I got put to work pretty much right away, was writing for the website already by the afternoon, I still have a lot to learn, but felt like I was able to learn a lot today. They use a certain program for putting stuff on their website, and its a bit tricky now in the beginning, but my philosophy is trial and error and eventually there will be less errrors :P Anyhow, I left work today at 5.30pm really happy because I figured out how to add several pictures to a product, SCORE! haha I am excited to go to work tomorrow morning, which is great I think! I am aware I might not feel like this all the time, so every time I do I think is a win! I work with awesome people and in a supercool atmosphere so I am super happy with how this turned out!
 
After lunch today I was getting really tired and couldnt stop yawning, which I didnt want to since it was my first day at my new job. I started thinking why I was so tired, but thought it might just be because I swam in the morning. Then 3hrs after lunch I find the time to test my bs, and it was 12.5 :/ /(THATS WHY I WAS TIRED) my novorapid insulin works for 3hrs so if my bs is high 3hrs after eating thats not very good.. so I took 2 units to get me down and also had a fruit as a snack. Then about 2hrs later I leave to go home and have another fruit because I start feeling hungry. The ride home is about 40-45min, 10min left on the middle of a really long and always sucky bridge I start to not feel my legs and completely loose all energy, I start thinking to myself "why is this happening"??? Then I was like, maybe I am low.. I stop to eat something (carry snacks pretty much all the time since my diagnosis), however I decide to test my bs first... 2.9!!!! OMG, thats the lowest I have ever been, i freak out take three sugar tabs and a banana.. then I start craving everything and its a real pain in the butt during those last 10min home.. stopped at the grocery store and got some yoghurt candy (crave it all the time when I get low) When I got home I had dinner and took insulin with it so I managed to not get the usual high that comes after a low.. was just a little bit ago at 6, so at least I managed my bs decently well through this low, although it sucked getting low.
 
BTW my meal last night turned out amazing!!!!!!
Curry, lentils, light cream, veggie chicken, broccoli and rice :)
 
 
All for now, need to go to bed soon..sort of beat after today, with the morning swim, new job, highs and lows ;)
