So as I "hinted" about in my short post yesterday my monday did not go very well. It all began sunday night, had a great ride home from work but got home so late that I could not fall asleep until about midnight - not ideal when I had to wake up at 5am the next day. For those of you who do not know, with diabetes your bloodsugar is greatly affected by sleep or more so the lack of it. I finally fell asleep, but did not sleep great and kept waking up. Got to work in the morning and felt alright, had packed breakfast so ate it pretty early, about an hour later I realize I forgot to take insulin - DAMN! I thought for a second that it could still be fine because I had only had a darkbread eggsanwhich, but the bes wasnt fine it was at 13 and rising! Ah well, took the shot and hoped for the best... but no it stayed high until I got home from work at 3.30pm.. tired in many ways I do some work on my computer and make some calls, then laid down for a bit. 
 
Right when I got the most tired I had to get up to go meet up with my friend for dinner, if it would have been someone else I might have cancelled, but if anyone could understand my day it was Camilla (she also has type 1). We got sallads and sat in Kungsträdgården and chatted for over an hour then walked almost all the way home. It is truly different talking about this disease with someone else that has it, compared to  a "normal" person. You get confirmation of that you are not alone with this crappy illness!
 
On my way home I decided to go by my parents apartment and my mom and I went for a nice evening walk. It is so warm now, so we could wear tanktop and shorts! Crazy to think that about a week ago I was almost in my winter gear haha
 
 
 
So even though the day started crappy it sure ended great, very nice dinner with Camilla and then a great walk with mom!
 
Today I got up early to go swimming with dad at 7am, I was slowstarted today but when I got into it it went pretty well. When we got back mom and I had breakfast and then went to do a weight workout - its a lot of fun pushing her at the gym, she is a good student :)
 
Got home and laid out for a bit and burnt my stomach. I also attempted listening to Sommarpratarna - Edda Magnusson, because she also has type 1, however I am not a fan of talking radio so I did not make it through the whole thing. 
 
I was going to go out with Fanny tonight however we decided to go for a run instead, felt good! So now I have worked out for 3 hours today and have made up for the lack of working out yesterday - back on track!!! 
 
Diabetes wise the day has been good, but my glucose meter suffered some heatwaves and malfunctions and showed 15 one second and 6 the next. 
 
My dinner tonight was delicious, veggie burger and carrots! 
 
Tomorrow its running and biking with dad on the agenda! Looking forward to it! :)
