Sucks how you can go from lows to highs on a day to day basis, not only bs but also motivation and mindset. Today was a low for everything but the bs - usually happens like that!
If I am on the lower end of the bs I usually feel better than when I am high. This is for several reasons, when I have a day that my bs keeps staying low or good (range of 4-7) I do not have to take as much insulin and mentally that makes me feel better - because in many ways the more insulin I take the more I realize that I have diabetes and how sick (stupid) my body actually is. On the other hand, the less insulin I take the more healthy and normal I feel.
Another reason why highs make me feel worse is because I know they do more longterm harm to my body, while I feel that I can manage lows well enough to not risk any serious bodily injuries. Furthermore, getting out of a high is soo much harder!!! Like today, my bs stayed high all morning between 7am-2pm, I kept taking soo much insulin and it wasnt working.. I figured out pretty quickly what it was though, my insulin had gone bad!
You see, I "knew" /had strong suspisions that the insulin would go bad during my ride on saturday, because I brought it with me and it was close to my warm body on a hot summer day. Insulin goes bad if its exposed to temperatures over 25-30 degrees celsius and on saturday mine probably were. Once again this is proof of how I am not willing to realize and come to terms with the things that now effect me (because I have diabetes). These things got to change and I have to become smarter with my diabetes. A day like today could have been easily avoided had I just trusted my instincts!
Ah well, you live you learn! JOANNA PLEASE LEARN ;)
Went swimming in the rain today, way better to be "wetter" when you would already be wet if you were on land.
