Dear Diabetes: What's With the Bitch Fit?

Dear Diabetes:

What’s with the “Bitch Fit?”

This morning I woke up tired and with a blood sugar of 209 – not terrible but not how I like to start my day.

Last night before bed you decided to surprise me with a low (which I didn’t even feel) of 62. And before that, my numbers had been on the low side since Friday, which I chalk up to being a woman. Ladies, I think you know what I’m talking about- the whole 28 day cycle thing. I swear I could a dozen chocolate cupcakes with Vanilla and Coconut icing and still not get above 111 for those 4 or 5 days a month. That Mother Nature can be such a BITCH!

Diabetes, pardon my French, but make up your f^c$ing mind and get with the program!

I test between 10 and 15 times a day- religiously- and have the callused fingers to prove it! 

I don’t like it when you decide to go all medieval diabetes just because you can.

I don’t care if it’s your prerogative-it’s not mine!

Today is a travel day for work and I don’t want any drama from you. No highs that make me feel like I’m walking through J-E-L-L-O or lows that make me break into a cold sweat and feel numb all over. Or worse yet, you decide to be all symptom free re: the lows and I feel nothing, like last night.  I WON’T HAVE IT, so don’t even go there again.

I want to be middle of the road and drama free. I’m watching you- I’ll be checking my numbers and you’d better be in Blood Sugar Nirvana range.

There, I’ve put it in writing and you’ve been warned.

 

I’M DONE AND I'M WATCHING YOU.
